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

Yeah, outside of Vrabel (now off the market) Mike is/was the most safe HC candidate on the market the minute Jerry let him walk... I fully expect our FO to go all out to get him... and if I were to place a bet.... It would be that he's our next head coach by wide odds margin.

I am kind of "Meh" on MM... I think he can make us competitive in the short term... I think he can figure out our QB room now - and down the road...

I am not sure he can be the long term future given how old he is and where he has already been... and I think if/when we hire him, we'll be looking for a new HC within 5 years... maybe sooner.

So there are reasons to like the hire, and reasons not to....
If you like high scoring offenses, he's your man. :9:
