New Orleans is the only vacant HC spot left (50 Viewers)

Paralysis by analysis. That’s our upper management.

Dementia and geriatrics

I don't even think Glenn was our first choice.

He may not have been. I think he was in the lead before McCarthy became available, but I'm not sure that they had a first choice yet. They still may not have a true first choice.

I have a disgusting feeling its going to be Rizzi. Mostly because of how Loomis has spoken so much about continuation. And in his presser, I didn't even remotely get the impression that he believes we need a soft rebuild. Which makes me believe he's going to press on with the continuation.

And just for clarity. His game time adjustments were awful, and so was his game management as interim head-coach. He may have been good in organizing the team and replacing bad coaches. But during game time he was nothing more then a cheer leader fumbling clock management.

I sense the same thing and have been for a while.

You agreeing is not helping. Reading your post gave me even more dread that I may be correct.

Last to hire = Least desire

Vrable and Carroll are solid hires. Johnson and Coen are very good OCs who could be the next hot HC. Glenn is a former player who I’m mixed on.

This whole coaching search has felt a little like Mickey Loomis didn't get his way with the handling of DA and has been sulking and pouting throughout. Now that his tantrum is losing steam, he's going to have to give in and hire someone, even with his folded arms and red face.

We’re also the only team that can hire a coach from one of the final 4 staffs.

Once you got past Vrabel and Ben Johnson and Glenn, the next best option is to have your pick among the last teams standing plus the other targets.

Im actually happy. Didn’t want any hire thus far but Ben Johnson. Anyone left Im good with minus Rizzi.

Carroll is a solid hire? In 2025?

We'll also be the last team to build a staff of assistant coaches. Even the Bucs who lost their OC yesterday is ahead of us in the OC search.

Carroll was always a good coach. He didn't exactly get a fair shake his last couple of years in Seattle. Wilson couldn't run his system anymore (similar to how Wilson couldn't run Paytons), and Carroll took up Smith as a place holder while he searched. They removed Carroll and nothing in Seattle has changed. Their still semi-competitive, looking for a franchise QB trying to replace serviceable players with younger talent.

The one mistake Carroll made was letting his roster age and taking action a bit too late. But they were also competing for a superbowl in that duration... similar to how Loomis acted like we were constantly 1 player away for several years.

as its been said on another thread that i restated on even another thread

we havent been able to do in person interviews due to snow, , a requirement of 2 interviews required by Rooney rule, so we cant by NFL policy hire anyone unless we skip in person and our hire satisfies Rooney Rule

not sure if Saints Execs could have gotten out of NO and done in person interviews elsewhere i cant say

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

Only one of the guys that we were actually going after is gone. So we are really in a perfect position to get what is at worst our second choice after Glenn. Assuming Glenn was our first choice. So, I don't see the problem with what they are doing.

i swear there is no news that 43% of this board won't take as negative
not rushing makes us a buyers market - not saying that was the plan but it doesn't mean the shaky is falling

Something similar also played out with Payton, correct? I remember waiting around for him because Green Bay was his first choice, but I can't recall how many other positions filled up in the mean time.

It was 2 days of snow. DA was fired at the beginning of November. Five other teams have hired coaches and the Cowboys are close.
