New Orleans is the only vacant HC spot left

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.

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

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.

it's not exactly witness for the defense, but some of our better successes happened bc other teams took away our first option so we had to adapt

McCarthy and Joe Brady are both available. I feel really good about where we are.

 

[dvdman]

Cowboys gave not hired anyone yet.

Carroll is a solid hire? In 2025?

Absolutely. He's not there for the long term. He's there to change the culture and develop a staff probably with succession planning in place. He's a proven culture building HC which is one of if not his biggest strengths as a HC. Tom Brady picked Carroll for the job to do just that. I would pay attention to who he hires on his staff, that would give a good indication of who his replacement will be after he rebuilds the team culture.

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.

I think every potential HC already has a lot of staff members he’s planning to bring wherever he goes.

Just on speed dial with no jobs?

On other staffs.

yes but i wouldnt think you would or even can do interviews mid season, unless maybe your interviewing people not currently on a team not sure of the rules

 

[Elvis]

On other staffs.

You think the other 5 coaches aren't looking at those guys on other staffs? Or the teams that just lost coordinators to the teams that hired them as head coaches? We're last.

 

[St. Geezy]

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.

 

[Covington Saint]

i sort of hope its McCarthy and we snag Kafka somehow as OC.

 

[fishing4food]

Don't rule out Kafka just yet.
