Speculation Pat Kirwan thinks Aaron Glenn will be next Saints head coach (1 Viewer)

This may have been asked, but what if Rizz wins out or goes 6-2, 7-1 to close out the season. Would he not be a true candidate for the next head coach?

Just saying.

I think you could safely bet the house that Rizzi would be the guy if this happened.

As of right now I don’t see how Loomis doesn’t pick Rizzi or Aaron Glenn. He doesn’t want to change much.

If you look at the job openings, JAX, Chicago and the Jets are better options to a coaching candidate, if it comes down to the salary cap and the roster. So if these three teams get the best coaching candidates, then would Rizzi be an upgrade over the 4th best? This is why Rizzi will be the guy if he shows that he can generate wins.

The Jets are not a better destination.
The only destination that has a leg up is Chicago and that’s because of Caleb.

I don’t believe Rizzi even has to generate wins. Aaron Glenn has zero wins or losses as a HC. It all comes down to familiarity and “looking beyond the results” with Loomis.

Are they better options? I think it depends on what a coach is looking for.

And not every team is going to target the same guys so it's hard to know who is the best to 4th best. Ben Johnson looks like the top guy right now, but that doesn't mean he will succeed. Often times it not the guy you think that ends up being successful as an NFL HC. Payton wasn't the top guy when he was hired and Dan Campbell wasn't the top guy when he was hired.

Aaron Glenn is an up and coming young coach, no?



If Rizzi is the HC, do we see a another soft reboot like we had from Payton to Allen where there's little staff turn over? I'd like be okay with seeing the offensive staff stay intact. I think Kubiak can still be a great OC in this league once he has more time with his core players. However, I'd like to see a new defensive philosophy with new coaches on defense. I think Rizzi or Glenn could do that, but Rizzi may be more likely to not bring in new guys on defense.

I dunno, I think Rizz would definitely shake up the staff, just judging by the changes he made instantly upon taking over.

Will Glenn bring Ben Johnson with him?

We already have a Dan Campbell esque coach in Rizzy. Campbell wins with emotion. He’s a TEs coach turned HC. Not an offensive genius type.

This team needs an outwardly emotional coach after what they’ve been through.

Is Glenn that kinda guy? Idk

But yeah give me offensive coach with a firey personality.

One positive about Glen is that he’s familiar with the organization, but hasn’t spent decades within it.
Part of the problem with DA is that except for a brief stop in Oakland and Denver, he’s always been in the Saints.
Glen is more of a Campbell guy now.

this vid really makes one think that the Saints are not the best job.

I think we'll be near the bottom. I think Giants and Cowboys will be open and people will jump at them like Daboll did in 2022. The big name teams and markets will get first dibs. We'll probably end up with a defensive coach who sees a QB like Derek Carr as someone he can win with vs. having to find and develop a young QB.

ML looking beyond the results, is why ive always thought that Rizzi (taking over if DA failed) was a trump card waiting to be played if all else failed. (I do not think that DA being fired was a reactive decision caused by the loss to Carolina)

What makes the Cowboys job so desirable. You got 2 players eating up a ton of the salary cap especially Dak. Parsons is going to want to get paid too. So there’s most of your salary cap tied to 3 players and that’s not even adding having to be Jerrah’s puppet …. Errr HC

LOL. I don't ever believe anything Moscona says. He's just trolling for views. He's welcome to his opinion but it's no more valid than yours, mine, or anyone else on this board.

Regardless, of what Moscona thinks, an argument can be made for any of the jobs being good or bad depending on what a coach is looking for. Some might consider the Bears the top job because of Williams. But, Williams has been struggling recently so maybe a coach doesn't think he's going to be a great player and doesn't want to be stuck with him as the starting QB for 3 years. The Jets have Rodgers who has and will get a coach fired. Who wants to be stuck with him as your starting QB and who wants to have the constant heat of the NY media? And Jacksonville is pretty much so locked into Lawrence as their starting QB. He's the 4th highest paid QB in the NFL and he's basically only as good as Derek Carr, or maybe worse, who is the 18th highest paid QB in the NFL.

The advantage the Saints have is an organization who has shown it is willing to be patient, even too patient at times, a solid starting QB, a good organization with an owner willing to pay to build the team the coach wants, and a solid base roster that really should have won 8 or 10 games this year if not for a bad head coach and injuries. The only real downside to the Saints job is it's a small market (attractive to some) and our cap situation. But the cap can be clean in two years and this organization has shown for years that the cap doesn't stop them from giving a coach the players they want. And that's where being an organization with patience pays off.

So, they are all more or less close to each other depending on what you want. No available job, unless Andy Reid retires, is going to be a great situation. They will all have advantages and disadvantages. Which is better will really depend on the specific coach unless some unusually great job comes open which doesn't seem likely right now.

I don’t think it’s like that anymore.
We’re in a post Sunday Ticket era. You can become a superstar from any market.
