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]

Loomis gives all his coaches control, he's said repeatedly he believes in letting a HC build his roster. This notion that Loomis is the final decision behind a ton of stuff keeps getting thrown around and I don't believe it's fully accurate.

Whether it would have been Joe Brady or Aaron Glenn, they would have figured out what the strength and weakness of the coach were and then tried to support him w/ the right hires.

I know that Loomis gives his coaches lots of control, but that developed over years of a relationship with Payton and DA. I would think that a young coach would have to prove worthy of his trust before he gets full control.
