Underhill: Saints are interviewing probably 12 coaches [Tracker: officially 9 candidates] [three 2nd interviews scheduled]

I think McCarthy is the guy. By doing these other interviews, you are satisfying the Rooney rule plus if something goes wrong with McCarthy, they already have guys through the 2nd interview process. I personally don't think it will be Brady. I think Glenn goes to NY.

I think it’s very very likely to be McCarthy, and Moore/Kingsbury/Brady/Nagy are in competition to be the backup if that somehow falls through.

Maybe they do the due diligence with the losers after this weekend’s games just to be sure, but I can’t see us waiting much longer.

The timing sucks in that regard, but sometimes that’s how these things go.

And I agree, can’t see the Jets letting an alumni out of the building for that role.
