The continued overreactions by fan base and media is embarrassing

There are two truths here.

1. The Saints job was not coveted by the upper echelon candidates in this cycle. Like it or not, Loomis has failed miserably for the last handful of years and the next coach faces a serious uphill climb.

2. The Saints don't need a coveted candidate from this coaching cycle. With Dallas hiring Schottenheimer and the Raiders going with Pete, it leaves a nice mix of up and comers (Kellen Moore), young coaches with some experience that might do well on a bounce back opportunity (Kingsbury) and an established NFL HC who has a very similar career profile to that of Sean Payton (McCarthy).

Now, if these three all back out, then there is only 1 truth and that is that this job has almost no appeal to anyone.

You can have last pick and still wind up with the best coach, because who knows. But if ownership/front office doesn’t do anything to address the reasons WHY it’s the least attractive job, then it almost doesn’t matter.

Kinda like having the first overall pick in the draft. You can get a great player but if you don’t change all the other things that made you 2-14 then it doesn’t change much.
