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]

This is a perfect opportinity for a young coach to build himself and a franchise. Its going to take energy, and drive. You can make a case both ways. A young, unproven guy will be hungry to create something. Does McCarthy have the energy to lead a rebuild at 61?

Sean Payton walked through the door in his first job as a HC, with a franchise and a city totally decimated, coming off a 3-13 season. What he faced as a rookie HC was far less ideal that what the next HC of this franchise will face.

I 1000% disagree that we have to have an old man lead this team. We need energy, ideas and hunger. Give me the younger OC over McCarthy. Let him build a name for himself along with rebuilding this franchise.

And we need to be patient with him in 2025. Its a long game. A 3-14, 4-13 2025 might be a necessity to get back to competing for Lombardis.
Yes to this 100%. McCarthy is right for somebody but he's not right for us IMO..

I'll also add that fans typically have a bias that their team has more talent than others because we know what our own players can do when healthy. I think talent wise we are likely bottom-10 in the NFL. The only thing that kept the team hanging on around 8-9, 9-8 was playing in an awful division and getting a few miracle Kamara and Taysom games each of those seasons
