Saints expected to be very interested in former Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy [ Rapoport: Interview to be early next week]

Fun fact - Mike McCarthy has had only five losing seasons in his 18 year head coaching career…

2008: GB 6-10
2017: GB 7-9
2018: GB 4-7-1 (fired)
2020: DAL 6-10
2024: DAL 7-10

In 2017, his starting QB Aaron Rodgers missed significant time due to injury, playing in only 7 games.

In each of this two losing seasons in Dallas, 2020 and 2024, his starting QB Dak Prescott missed significant time, playing in only 5 games in ‘20 and 8 games in ‘24.

So, 18 seasons, 5 losing seasons, 3 of which involved him not having his starting QB for more than half of the season.

This guy is a flat-out winner, knows how to build a program, and I want him to be our head coach.

Of all the candidates out there, McCarthy has the track record to support the highest level of confidence he can get the team headed back in the right direction. Other hires might invite more excitement - I’m as intrigued by those possibilities as anybody - but McCarthy has proven he knows how to win.
