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

I don't know. Where there is smoke there is usually some fire. It's not just the podcasters saying it anymore. It's local and national media saying it. I believe the front office overestimated how desirable the Saints job is right now. You could hear it in his end of season presser when he said he didn't think he had to sell the job to candidates. Either way, somebody is taking this job in a couple more weeks at the latest.

My gut feeling that Rizzi will be named HC is growing.
