That's fine. Sniffs brought Reid into the discussion I think comparing Reid in Philly to McCarthy in Dallas. Something something.
I'm just not into picking up our next coach from the dumpster behind The Star.
Loomis took a chance on a young offensive coordinator in 2006, and I'd like that to happen again. I think you have said similar in your catalog of recent posts.
A young coach like what happened with Payton would be great, and I hope Brady is that guy, but it's definitely a risky play. He could crash and burn just as easily as be successful. I don't mind taking that risk.
That said, it's not a bad idea to hire a coach with McCarthy's track record. One thing we'll know for sure, he's not going to mess around and he's serious about building a winning organization. We already have a blueprint in what Payton has done in Denver. Payton and McCarthy are the same age and their career arc has been uncannily similar, and McCarthy didn't have a Brees.
