Joe Brady withdraws from Saints HC search (105 Viewers)

[Rexman100]

From what I understand MM has let it be known he wants the job

How do you know this for sure? there’s speculation he may sit out a year which I’m hoping isn’t true!

My guess is Joe Brady has eyes on Giants.

Or maybe Brady does not interview well and that's why he didn't get 2nd interview requests from the Bears or Jax

No one but the hiring committee and McCarthy's team no for sure. But there was this posted in the last couple of days.

I’ve learned that MM’s people are actively lobbying for this job through every channel imaginable.

Undehill is the same guy who said we needed to sign DeShaun Watson. I stopped putting any value on his comments a long time ago.
Like not signing Watson, we will be glad this (Brady hiring) also didn't happen.

I like Nick, but when he likes someone or does not like someone he gets biased. Brady was his guy, while he said he didn't have a favorite,but when asked he said Brady was the guy he'd go with multiple times. It sounds like he's a bit hurt He was so down on Penning in pre-season that it took most of the season for him to say he improved and he still wants him benched

BINGO!

Mike is clearly in the driver's seat, and we have no leverage.

There's only one job left. He either takes the Saints job if offered, or he goes fishing.

You don’t think the smart coaches in the league took notice that Sean Payton was aggressively doing everything possible to get out of being the head coach here? Including foregoing a significant salary and being out of coaching for a year.

No I don't......you give the NFL coaches way too much credit.

Or being turned down by a 3rd team

Good point. Brady may have the feeling that it's McCarthy's job to lose and it looks better to pull out of consideration than to be passed over.

All I’m reading from this forum is: Nobody wants us!!! We’re the worst team ever! .
Just relax and be patient.

We have the leverage of interviewing the other coaches. If McCarthy thinks he can lose out to any of them he is suddenly not the shoe in he may have thought he was.

I just hope that Loomis gets this right. I really think this team is 3 years away from being able to begin having expecations. I think you bring in McCarthy and let him start installing his systems and culture. He'd either be a bridge to the next guy or setting the table for himself. Not a bad strategy actually.

If you hire one of the young guys, will you wait for 3-4 years and hope you were right? I think McCarthy can steady the ship at the very least over the next coulple of seasons.

Don’t show this tweet to @Stinkers

There's another possibility. I find it interesting that nobody else but the Saints and Bears expressed interest in McCarthy. Maybe it's known in the inner circles in the NFL that the Saints HC job is McCarthy's job to lose. Some coaches will take an interview request knowing they won't get it for the experience. Others won't.

Maybe it doesn't have to be that complicated.

Glenn spent way more time with the Jets than he did here. Just like Vrable did in NE. The Jets always had the inside track. Like I said Brady probably figured he was not a finalist for the Saints job and didn't want to get passed on by 3 teams. THAT"S a bad look

Spin it how you want, Glenn passed on us Ben Johnson and Vrable also passed on us too but Vrable is much more of an understandable situation. Officially though for this hiring cycle that’s 4 candidates who have passed on us.

I fully believe we can hire a great candidate and things can turn around, but I’m not silly enough to think the Saints are in a great spot right now. Odds are completely against such a thing happening anytime soon.

He wasn't negative when Payton was here. What's there to be positive about the last 3 years?

. This all day.
Realism is called negativity by some.

It’s all gonna be ok tho, really believe the situation was worse in 06. Not saying we will strike gold twice again as we did then but the only way to go from here is up.
