Kellen Moore expected to be Saints coach [Feb 10 — Fletcher Mackel: mostly done deal; intro press conference to be later this week]

Respectfully disagree. Moore just won a SB with the Eagles, while Johnson didn't even make it to the game. Your stock will never be higher than when you're holding the Lombardi. Maybe that's what Johnson was holding out for? If Moore has aspirations of being a HC, this is the time he is viewed as being at "peak hotness". Ask Bobby Slowik what happens the year after you failed to land a HC opportunity. Not saying any of that is a given....just what I believe is statistically likely.

What is statistically likely is that Moore is already on the most desirable tier, and there's only 1 opportunity available for him to exploit that popularity. Waiting another year for a "better opportunity" is certainly an option. But there are MANY downside risks to that, while the only upside is that he'll STILL be viewed as a top-tier SB winning HC candidate. Unless Moore was born in Atlanta, or was otherwise raised to despise the Saints, the smart money takes the bird in hand opportunity. Saints are going to have to really bungle something to undo this. Otherwise, he's coming. Let him enjoy the spoils of victory with his guys, and to remember the euphoria of planting his flag on the mountain. And let him wonder what it must feel like to be the man....the HC....who orchestrated the entire thing, rather than just doing his part. We are ready for you....BRING IT Coach!
I don't really disagree with anything your saying, but everything in the NFL is a calculated risk. Most coaches only get one shot at being an HC and so it behooves him to at least look at other options.

Like I said, I think Moore will take the job, I just think it's stupid for him to not consider all the possibilities.
