Saints will interview Mike McCarthy in person during this week, Jan. 20-Jan. 25 [Underhill: McCarthy would have to be the current favorite]

I could not think of a less exciting pick than McCarthy. I'm surprised people here are so gung ho for him. Seems to be a high floor low ceiling coach. The derek carr of coaches if you will.
That was my initial sense too. I can’t say I’m in love with any of the 3 apparent front runners—McCarthy, Glenn, and Brady. I don’t think Glenn’s defenses in Detroit have been that great, McCarthy w/o prime Aaron Rogers is just a good (not great) coach, and Brady outside of his X’s and O’s is an unknown. I am starting to sour on Glenn a bit, but the Jets may be about to hire him anyway, so he may not end up being a real option for the Saints.
