There may be concerns about Kellen Moore’s ability to lead [mod edit]

That's a nice little strawman argument you made there. I don't no more think it's a fantastic look than I think it's a terrible look. Want to know why? Well let me tell you why.

I know that what I'm seeing reported is a very incomplete picture with most of the details not visible to me.

I know that I have no idea why these coaches withdrew their names.

I know that I have no idea what has been said in private between these coaches and the Saints.

I know that there are a lot of reasons that these coaches could have had for withdrawing their names and that they most likely had more than one reason. We rarely decide or do anything for just one reason.

Because I know all of that, I don't bother to think of it in terms of good or bad "optics."

Okay, you can call it a strawman argument and just live in lala land if you want, and that can be a tool you use to feel good about a situation (or yourself). I would call it blind optimism, but do what makes you feel better.

Fandom when you have jobs completely unrelated to football, every post on boards like this are opinions and viewpoints. I am just less conditioned to try to be optimistic when every sign we can see says not to be. You can dwell where you want though.
