I’m starting to think that you are going to have to learn to love MM.
I believe there is a good reason no one else took him seriously as a potential candidate. They already knew that Loomis wanted him.
Add to that, one of our posters has claimed he heard, from people inside the Saints, that McCarthy's people have been lobbying hard through every possible avenue to get the job. This was before Jags and Raiders hired coaches.
Seems that at the very least, the Saints has been McCarthy's top preference since ending negotiations with Dallas.
