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

I like your list.

I don’t judge McCarthy as harshly as you do.
Every situation is different.
Watching the Commanders turn things around so quickly (also the Saints when CSP took over), gives me the hope that it can be done again with the right coaches.

I agree. But I also think Atlanta was too trigger-happy with Dan Quinn. He’s always looked like a quality NFL HC. Then they had Lamar 2.0 fall in their lap, which unfortunately doesn’t seem feasible for NO. I think a ton of quality HCs get let go prematurely, but I would not put McCarthy on that list.

I think Flores is a lot closer to Quinn than McCarthy, if we want a “one more chance” guy.
