Saints to interview Mike McCarthy at the end of this week near Jan 29-Feb 1 [Underhill: McCarthy would have to be the current favorite]

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.

Not sure what your point is because it seems like you’re agreeing with me. I haven’t said anything about coaches being scared off and stated he’s a good coach that I wouldn’t complain about hiring.

The statement applies to McCarthy (and not Brady or Glenn) because he’s 61 and has been a HC for a long time. What is his threshold for pain, because we’re at least 2 good drafts away from having a roster capable of getting to the playoffs. If he’s willing to spend the next few years going through a rebuild then great.

If he comes in and makes decisions around the idea that we can win immediately with Carr, that’s an issue because we evidently don’t have the roster for that to happen.
