You make good points.
I will disagree that Mike McCarthy and Sean Payton are equal in personality just because they have similar resumes. Sean is so much more driven and aggressive than McCarthy. Sean has that 'us against the world' persona and badly wants in the HoF.
Mike?
Rizzi will be out in my opinion because Gayle fired Allen and installed Rizzi over Loomis' head. No way Loomis is going to support Rizzi there.
Go get the offensive coach, even McCarthy if he falls to us because any great offensive coordinator is going to be poached. Have a coach directly accountable for quarterback development and performance.
If Chicago has serious interest in McCarthy, that would be a chance for him to stick it to the Packers, which I think would be more motivating for him. What special motivation would McCarthy have in New Orleans, besides Commanders Palace?
