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.

More fun facts…from 2006 to now, Mike McCarthy and Sean Payton have eached coached the same number of seasons (18) and we know they each own 1 Super Bowl title in the span, however in terms of number of double-digit win seasons, Payton has 9, while McCarthy has had 11.

EDIT: Payton has coached one less season, however the point of the comp study remains.
