For me, it was a done deal that Mccarthy was going to be the guy when Jeff Duncan said the other day on a podcast that Loomis and Mccarthy play golf in Florida during the offseason.
Not my favorite choice, but I think it's already done.
Agreed. All tea leaves point to this being the case, including the fact that all buzz around McCarthy has ceased.
I think we simply just have to knock out the Rooney Rule compliance item first.
So much happens behind the scenes with these things, like the note you just pointed out. Wouldn’t be surprising to learn someday that McCarthy to the Saints was done weeks ago through back channels.
