Saints expected to be very interested in former Packers/Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy [McCarthy will interview early next week]

McCarthy is a good coach and is easily the safest bet out of the coaches we’ve requested an interview with so far. If we do hire him, I’m not going to complain.

That being said, as others have pointed out, the only question is whether it makes sense given our current situation.

How would this statement not apply to whomever we hire?

I think it's a misnomer the belief that our situation will scare coaches off; McCarthy would be a good hire because he has a proven track record and can right this ship.

My only concern or request is that I think, like others, we want a younger coach who will be here for a while, but a good coach is a good coach, and getting a proven one will always be a better decision than a young up-and-coming one.
