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

Was all of the smoke about Mike McCarthy came exclusively from Mike McCarthy's camp or something? The Saints never even had any kind of interview at all with him. It's all very strange.

But if he truly did pull out of the running himself, then Moore better be the guy they hire. They can't have him decline the job as well. That would be ALL of the real candidates declining and only leave the Rooney Rule guys and Rizzi.
