Joe Brady withdraws from Saints HC search

Spin it how you want, Glenn passed on us Ben Johnson and Vrable also passed on us too but Vrable is much more of an understandable situation. Officially though for this hiring cycle that’s 4 candidates who have passed on us.

I fully believe we can hire a great candidate and things can turn around, but I’m not silly enough to think the Saints are in a great spot right now. Odds are completely against such a thing happening anytime soon.
While I think we aren't all that desireable, I also believe that Johnson, Vrabel and Glenn weren't available to us from the get go. The Raiders hired Pete and the Cowboys went with Schottenheimer. We have a nice pool to chose from, even if Brady or a few of the remaining pool don't want to be here. We will hire a decent candidate. I'd be happy with McCarthy, Kingsbury or Moore. I've also been a Kafka honk for the past few years and could live with that hire. I just believe McCarthy is the right guy considering our circumstances. Asking a young unproven HC to step in and navigate this mess scares me. I think McCarthy has the skin to handle it. It could become overwhelming for a younger guy with less experience. The reality is, this team is at least 2 years away from even thinking about turning this around.
