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]

Why would MM even take this job? He makes sense going into a rebuild team trying to breakthrough not a team going directly into a two year long rebuild. You usually get a young coach for a rebuild.

He took an 8-8 cowboy team that was in an healthy cap and somewhat stable QB situation.

At 61 years old... The only thing he should be doing is either winning championships or securing retirement checks. We look like the latter.

Because perhaps unlike many, he isn’t all doom and gloom about everything and as an outside observer sees a team that isn’t as bad as it is being made out to be here.

He also gets the privilege of getting a full understanding how our cap situation operates and why it isn’t as disastrous as it is being made out to be by outside observers.
