Saints planned to interview Mike McCarthy; McCarthy didn’t garner enough interest from Saints and will take a year off

The only reason the Cowboys won that many games under McCarthy is because of Dan Quinn and his defense. The offense has been terrible outside of a few games where they beat up on sub .500 teams. That’s supposed to be McCarthy’s calling card. That’s a red flag IMO.

A salient point, along with the Cowboys really regressing this year, even when Dak was healthy......

BUT, I still think he is the "safest" choice, his track record speaks for itself, his teams are in the playoffs more than they are not and he has got tons of experience....the unknown is can he handle the full control thing, I can't remember if he did it in GB honestly, we know he had his hands tied with JJ in Dallas.....

That said, I still want to take a chance on a younger offensive mind that would be here longer potentially, still want Joe Brady....we will see what happens....
