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

No, they didn't have the same results, no matter how much you massage the criteria. Payton has one losing season of eight wins while McCarthy has two losing seasons of 7 or fewer wins. McCarthy had a losing record *with* Dak this season until his injury.

McCarthy is not Payton. He stopped calling plays in 2018 until Moore left Dallas and things got noticeably worse. He's not the same type of fiery leader of men. If you want McCarthy, then want him because of who he is, not because you think he's Sean Payton.

Payton and McCarthy does have the same results. But you’re trying to believe that they don’t have the same number of winning seasons, double digit win seasons, division titles, playoff advancements, playoff win %, and conference championship appearances. Or that McCarthy’s doesn’t matter. Whether overall or recent, it’s the exact same.

I’m not in favor of McCarthy because he’s Payton. He has a very successful offensive background that this team is in dire need of.

You stated that his success was a decade ago, which isn’t true at all especially when comparing to the results of Payton and current playoff coaches. That was the point being addressed.
