Take it for what it’s worth but I had a conversation with someone earlier that word is McCarthy is thinking about sitting out the hiring process this year. Bad look for the Saints might be getting worse.
Yesterday or the day before, another poster who's had inside information before said that he heard that McCarthy and his team were lobbying the Saints hard for the job.
If one is not talking directly the decision makers on the hiring committee, then one doesn't have very reliable information about what is going on. Things get miscommunicated and misinterpreted. Just like the telephone game shows, the more links of people there are in the information change, the more unreliable the information is.
