Underhill: Saints are interviewing probably 12 coaches [Tracker: officially 9 candidates] [three 2nd interviews scheduled]
Posted this in the Kafka/Weaver thread. This is less of a conspiracy theory and more of my own personal read on what COULD be occurring, based on all of the tea leaves…

You like conspiracy theories? Here’s one…
- There has been rumored strong interest in a Saints and McCarthy reunion, with reports first surfacing of this possibility in early January.
- There has been rumored strong interest in a Saints and Glenn reunion.
- Glenn just recently became available for in-person interviews, and we have yet to hear of any scheduled with us (I know, it’s early), though rumor has it he prefers the Jets job
- There is a rumored “early week” interview set to occur with McCarthy this week, but oddly no firm date has been confirmed as of yet
- Out of the blue, probably two of the less heralded candidates from our virtual interviews who happen to be minorities (the only two I believe) are scheduled on the same day for in-person interviews, with the backdrop of the elusive McCarthy interview still not finalized.
- Glenn would have provided one of the Rooney checkboxes in an organic fashion as a legitimate candidate, but perhaps it has been made known that he is destined for elsewhere (NYJ).
- Saints scramble, knowing that they will definitely hire a certain someone imminently since it is known behind the scenes that Glenn is taken, and they are forced to take care of the Rooney checkboxes with Kafka and Weaver immediately
- Rumored McCarthy interview is scheduled and commences, and if things go as planned, they hire him on the spot.
