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

Because he underachieved with an extremely talented team and has shown many times that he gets out coached in big games. He and Dak are meant for each other. Big games, Dak sucks and big games McCarty gets out coached.

They win because of how talented that team is and beat bad or average teams very consistently. But when they go up against a good team, with good players, and good coaching, it's a disaster. From game planning to execution. It's been this way ever since Aaron Rodgers got him fired. And that's exactly the gripe Aaron Rodgers had on him, that his game planning was trash.

Even Packers officials say that his way of game planning was basically "Quitting on his team".

And you saw it in Dallas whenever they skirted to the playoffs surviving on how insanely talented that team is (I rarely watched em in regular season). Sean Payton, Kevin O'Connell, Sean McVay... hell maybe even Todd Bowls likely would've at least made a Super Bowl appearance with those rosters. Dak be damned.

Kevin O'Connell couldn't even get out of the first round of the playoffs this year and neither could Bowles.

Sean and McVay are better coaches than McCarty, but that doesn't mean he is a bad coach and that doesn't mean there is a better coach available to be hired.

And it's complete nonsense to claim that a coach that has been to 4 NFC Championship games and won one Super Bowl always gets out coached in big games and under achieves. All coaches occasionally get out coached, but his record in the playoffs is actually slightly better than Payton, who also had a HoF QB. They also have the same number of Super Bowl wins, but McCarty has one more NFC Championship game appearance.

Did Payton horribly under achieve and get out coached in big games? Would you not want Payton as our HC?
