How many candidates would have to turn them down before they run it back with Rizzi? (20 Viewers)

We're the worst landing spot for a new coach, and it isn't particularly close.

How many of the Saints potential new coaching candidates would have to say no before they decide to just go with Rizzi on a 3-year 'Prove it' deal?

That is NOT the case right now

Yes we’re below the Patriots and maybe the bears but a reporter even said he was hearing the saints are pretty coveted.

Didn't SR say the same thing when the Saints were looking at OCs to replace Pete? That nobody would want to come here? And didn't they land one of the top OCs making the rounds?

All those things are fixable and temporary. A bad owner isn't.

I agree the Jets with Woody Johnson as the owner is probably worse
