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

Bill Belichick's resume was even better last year. Teams look at history, long term impact. History says this doesn't end well. Teams look at what has worked before.

Look, I've got nothing against McCarthy. I think he's a good coach. But like signing Derek Carr, I don't think it's a long term plan. It just prolongs the inevitable. I was in favor of signing Carr because of where the franchise was at the time. Now? I'd look to the future. I hope I'm wrong because I think McCarthy would have to defecate on the trophy case on Airline Hwy to not get the job.
BB wants FULL control and after not doing so well after Brady he lost some clout. McCarthy had multiple 12-5 yrs and that's in spite of Jerry's meddling
