Saints planned to interview Mike McCarthy; McCarthy didn’t garner enough interest from Saints and will take a year off

What’s the difference between? Besides weight and pettiness?

One is seeking his 3rd chance after his first two did not want him around anymore, while the other is on his second job after breaking the hearts of everyone in the organization and all of that teams’ fans that did not want him to go.

One is > .500 with a backup QB or a QB that’s not named Drew Brees. The others’ win % is sub .350 with a QB that’s not named Aaron Rodgers or Dak Prescott, two guys I think were top 10 QBs after (AR) and before (Dak) he was their head coach. Chargers on the other hand, let Brees out of the building and he ascended with Payton.

I think we’d all put Brees above Rodgers legacy-wise, but I also think most would acknowledge there’s never been a QB more talented than Aaron Rodgers. I think the gap that exists in their resumes and their legacies is that Drew Brees had Sean Payton and Aaron Rodgers had Mike McCarthy.
