i'm not opposed to MM. I view him as the safest hire; probably the highest floor, but probably not the highest ceiling. He'd be a step up. But with that acknowledgement made, the "we could do a whole lot worse than...." mindset is what led the Saints to DA and Derek Carr. Which, in fact, appears to have been worse. I wanna see a homerun swing. The goal isn't improvement, although improvement is required. The goal isn't NFCS division title or playoffs, although they are a necessary by-product of working to achieve THE GOAL. The GOAL is LOMBARDI trophies.
I wanna see the Saints hire the guy they believe is most likely to win a Superbowl! It might be the "safest" candidate, but I want to see a fundamental shift in Saints Executives' philosophy from "it could be worse" to "this guy is gonna win a SB someday.....it might as well be HERE!".
