Mickey Loomis addresses whether Saints are unattractive after coaches pulled out of search

Before hiring Kellen Moore, the New Orleans Saints conducted a thorough coaching search that saw several candidates withdraw themselves from the process.

“That happens every year for a variety of reasons,” Loomis said, referring to coaches pulling out of searches. “And so I don’t want to speak to any specific one, but sometimes candidates pull out because they aren’t candidates. Right? Sometimes it’s the old, ‘You’re fired.' 'Well, you can’t fire me. I quit.’ And then sometimes they have another job in mind that they feel pretty confident about.

Shots fired lol. Can't help but think that was a subtle jab at McCarthy

Oh no, he said the thing again lol

“So sometimes you have to look beyond the surface things. Look, I get it. Somebody looks from the outside and see the (salary) cap, and go, ‘Oh wow.’ But again, you have to look beyond that. You have to dig a little deeper and understand the nuances behind it.”

I feel like Loomis loves to talk, but is very eloquent at saying nothing.

Looking behind the surface is fine. Just don't look beyond the results because that makes people angry.

Not buying that at all Loomis.

Candidates pulled out because our cap situation and roster construction.... basically because of you Mickey.

Keep chopping wood Mickey, gotta look beyond the results.

I'm so glad this site is back to being BashLoomisReport.com. I was really getting tired of actually talking about football with talk of offensive schemes, defensive schemes, what players fit the scheme, players in the draft, etc. I'm glad we can get back to acting like mean girls which is what this site is about afterall.

We even got a gratuitous out of context keep chopping wood reference. I really missed reading those in every other post because they were so funny.

I want a new GM too, but Loomis isn't going anywhere for at least a few years. Can we talk about football in the interim?

He was not the only candidate that pulled out not the only team a coach did not want to interview with.

You really need high heels if you want to be one of the mean girls.

Exactly. McCarthy and Johnson weren’t interested because the team is still way over the cap, has an expensive vet QB who won’t take a pay cut, with a roster loaded with old, expensive, and oft injured players. Honestly I would’ve passed too. Apparently Moore felt up for the challenge.

You really getting upset about Mickey getting called out for his BS. I think that’s a little more confusing than the actual calling out part. But hey, you know what they say about opinions.

Johnson didn't want the job because of our QB situation and roster. Especially compared to the Bears. McCarty wanted the job but he was just the fallback position to Moore. Mickey wouldn't even schedule and interview with him.

Lol. How is me making fun of this getting upset? If you are upset at my reference to your keep chopping wood post, let me know and I will edit the post to delete the reference.

It's awful. Same people, complaining and complaining and complaining, as if that's going to do something, then get mad when you yourself aren't joining in on the complaining.

"Mean girls" indeed.
