How many candidates would have to turn them down before they run it back with Rizzi? (18 Viewers)

[BBarnes]

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 simply your opinion, and it could very well be facts. However, there are some coaches out there who want and need stability. There is no other opening that shows the FO is willing to display patience with a coach like us. We have a very stable FO, and while we may disagree with "kicking the can" the FO has shown over and over that if they think this team can be a contender, they'll manipulate the cap and spend the money to do what it takes to try and put a winner on the field. Sure, we have some things working against us. We also have some things working for us that do not get talked about enough.

Easy to win the division

Stable FO

GM that is willing to stick by his guy no matter who disagrees, even the owner

etc


To answer your question, hopefully, there is not an amount that could turn us down that we would go back to Rizzi. It's time to move forward.

Rizzi deserves equal consideration over Klingsberry!

This speculation has me wondering if the job is considered better worse or about the same as it was in 06?

I’m far from a sunshine pumper but I believe we will be ok, things were pretty dire back then and we landed not only the best coach we’ve ever had but also the best QB we’ve ever had.

Granted it took other places turning Sean and Drew down, but we still got em. Both of em future hall of famers to boot.

We’re gonna be ok.

That's an excellent point about '06, when the head coach opening had to be considered much less appealing than now. But we got very, very lucky. Lightning in two bottles at the same time.

Is this “no one wants to coach here” trying to disguise as a sincere discussion?

3-5 says "no".

Considering there was talk that the team would move and that the City of New Orleans may shrink and die after Katrina, I think it's clearly a better job now. And that's if we don't take into account that we now have a Super Bowl win and 15 years as a contender in our history. The history of this organization in 2006 was abysmal with one playoff win and few playoff appearances.
