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

Agreed. And former Saints player like Evans and Young are the kinds of guys Loomis would probably like to keep around as reminders of what the team was and should be again. Evans may be in the HoF soon based on what he did as a Saint. That's the kind of guy you want in your facility for the young guys to look up to.

Yep. Evans actually did an interview yesterday at the Senior Bowl, and I don’t remember the exact wording, but he was basically like “I’m pretty sure I’m good” when asked about his job status.

Guys like him are the guys you keep around. As are names like Bryan Young, Kevin Petry, etc. Saints lifers, guys with ties to the team and/or to the area that you’ve also invested a lot of time in grooming.
