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

Yea I get the sentiment forsure, to me the guy just has zero Payton vibes and no presence on sideline. What I worry about if that I think we are more likely to see the output of the Chargers O than we are the Philly O we are seeing this season. It’s easy for us to get excited about this guy because of the Eagles season, but if you put last season and this season on a scale, I’m certain we will see Moore lean closer to what we saw with Chargers.

To that end, I was never impressed with the O in Dallas when he ran it, there was a reason they moved on, and it isn’t always Jerry being Wrong. I just don’t see the reason to get completely delusional over this guy because of this Philly season.

Look, I hope im wrong, I really do and want the Saints to succeed, but this to me feel like a “hire a young coach” trend, executed by a front office that clearly doesn’t recognize that makes a good coach (got lucky with Payton), young or old, with demonstrated ability that they are stuck in their ways. To be that spells disaster.

It 100% should have been McCarthy imo. Kafka after. MM would have been alot smoother transition, but hey the chips are in now it sounds like so I guess we will see what Moore can do if accepts job

Yeah I forgot he had one year in San Diego and it was average, but it does seem like his offense is RB dependent. In Dallas he had somewhat of a prime (but declining) Ezekiel Elliot and he got great results w/ out elite WR talent. Chargers had an average to below average stable of RB's and he got average results, and then he goes to Eagles, they go out and get an elite RB and he shoots back up to having great results.

If we get him, RB becomes important and for me that means pretending like Kamara/Miller aren't on the team because one hasn't been healthy/available, and one is likely to see a decline in health/availability as he continues to age.

The 2nd difference is that Dak's decision making/playmaking w/ legs are a tick lower than what he has in Jalen Hurts. Hurts doesn't put the ball in danger much, Dak is good for 2-3 turnover worthy plays a game, and he def isn't as good of a running threat as Hurts.

I think the keys to his offense are those two things.

If you could Blend Carr/Rattler together you'd be ideal at QB and then work on adding RB. TE becomes complimentary as well as a possession WR. Either we'll need to develop Rattler's decision making (it's his biggest weakness) or we need Carr to be willing to run more and from what I saw this past year, running is his last, last, last..resort and he doesn't make great decisions once he's turned into a runner.
