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

You have got to be kidding me. Tom Brady, Mahomes, and Tom Brady.

Okay sure. If the Saints can get Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, or hmm...oh yeah, Tom Brady, I think McCarthy bucks the trend. SMH...

This was lazy by your standards, Widge.

Let's pretend the Saints are doing a total rebuild and those QBs aren't available. Does that change the outlook for you at all?

It's not lazy. The point is that the fact that older coaches win a lot of Super Bowls is no more a valid reason to hire and older coach and not hire a younger coach than not hiring coaches who have won prior Super Bowls because no coach has won a Super Bowl with two different teams. There are too many variables involved to show causation. At best you have correlation because the are variables like the fact that who your QB likely has the biggest influence on who wins the Super Bowl and often a coach doesn't get that franchise QB in two different jobs.

You just have to pick the guy you think is the best coach and there is no way that having won a Super Bowl with another team should be considered a bad thing.
