Saints planned to interview Mike McCarthy; McCarthy didn’t garner enough interest from Saints and will take a year off

They should be able to get there, but it will take longer than most teams because of the corrections needed to bring down the deficit. Also will depend on whether they will rebuild or ride it out with Carr.

I think the misnomer is the Saints having this insurmountable deficit that will prevent them for cutting on the lights on the dome.
