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]

It's not about meeting a standard today. This Saints team is 3-5 years away from being competitive with the roster turnover from old to young that has to happen. We have a huge talent issue from the young guys virtually at every position except for offensive tackle surprisingly. We need a coach who can meet that timeline and grow/build with a young rebuilding roster and also has an offensive background that we can keep that guy long term and not have offensive coach turnover every time we are successful.

Every team in the NFL is 2-3 years from being competitive. But, what makes you think that a young coach that has never built a roster has a better chance of getting that right than an experienced coach that has done the job with a high level of success for many years?
