Saints to interview Mike McCarthy in middle of this week, 1/26-2/1 per Pelissero [Underhill: McCarthy would have to be the current favorite]

12-5, 12-5, 12-5 and then one down year. Payton had three straight losing seasons mid-way through his term. They both have one Super Bowl ring and a history of laying eggs in the playoffs. I won't be disappointed with this guy, its hard to argue that he is not Payton's equal.
