Saints request to interview Kliff Kingsbury [Jan. 28: Kingsbury decides to remain with Commanders]

Guys, in a league where every team exercises disinformation on a consistent basis, you really have to read the tea leaves and stop relying on the team, players and coaches to feed you information as it relates to what is going to happen. They all lie and lie is the default.

Pay attention to their actions instead:

The Saints completed Rooney Rule interviews and did not make a hire even though they were free to do so. Within 48 hours Ziegler took a job with Tennessee after he’s been helping in the coach search. Brady took himself out of consideration and stays in Buffalo. Klint Kubiak decided to take a lateral move to Seattle. Hodges, the best LBer coach we’ve possibly ever had takes a new job. Saints fly to Philly to speak to Moore the first day they can legally do a face to face even though he’s coming to New Orleans for the Superbowl. Kingsbury decides he’s no longer interested in being a head coach and wants to stay in Washington. The Saints are suddenly off Mike McCarthy.

What one thing could happen that would explain every one of these actions? The Saints are selecting Kellen Moore as head coach, and every single person involved knows it.
