Saints to interview Mike McCarthy at the end of this week near Jan 29-Feb 1 [Underhill: McCarthy would have to be the current favorite]

He down played Dallas making the playoffs 3 of the last four years. When everyone knows that you need an elite Qb to advance in the playoffs for the most part. The people that don’t want MM want an exciting hire, in other words a 50/50 coin flip gamble. I’d be more ok with that, if we had a decent salary cap situation and a solid roster and a solid Qb1.. Asking a young first time coach to come here in this situation is more like 80/20 fail rate. Some will say, well Sean Payton did it, I’d agree, and say, Mike Mcarthy is Sean Payton, Sb and winning %. So let’s not gamble and get the sure thing, in MM.
Oh I get it. You want this team to be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Barely scrape by, win 9 or 10 games and get bounced in the first round every season. How fun.

Here’s what’s sure about MM:

Green Bay got better after he left.
He fired young OC who had the number 1 offense in the league. He has no coaching tree whatsoever. He makes terrible clock decisions at the end of games.
