First is McCarthy
Then Brady
Then distant long shots Kingsbury Nagy etc.

I’m good with MM. I just wish we would sign someone, so we can start to fill out the coaching staff

I think you, like the rest of us, are just excited and anxious to see who we will be moving this franchise forward.

Yeah, no ****. You mean the guy we’ve been trying to interview directly after our two Rooney interviews, that has a good relationship with the organization, won a Super Bowl, has over a .600 winning percentage, and hasn’t bothered to interview anywhere else is considered the leader here. Consider me shocked!!!!

Duh. Mike McCarthy is the Saints next head coach. Period.

If nothing else, I think MM gets the edge because Loomis et al have known him forever and he carries the lowest risk.

I would go with one of the younger guys but I don’t think there is a lot of appetite for risk in this process.

Go with the guy you know is a pretty pervasive quality on Airline

I think it’s like Jimmy Graham feeling like he had to come back to Nola before his career ended. Same goes with Mike, he was our hot shot OC that got away, now it’s full circle. I hope

I think everyone is so excited for a new coach because of the last one we had. But I dont know why people are so quick to want another lame coach. McCarthy is not the answer.

None of us know who is or isn’t going to be the answer, no matter how confident we feel about it. Even if a coach turns out to be a bust, it’s not quite the validation of a prediction some might want to make that out to be; the failure rate for coaches is really high. Predicting failure (in all the ways people measure that) - whether a coach, a player, a team - is about the safest call in sports.

But I get why McCarthy doesn’t excite some people. I’m one of those people. I feel the most confident about him, and the short term future of the team, because he’s achieved success to an extent that places him among the game’s all time best. Can he continue that success here if given the chance? History says yes but that’s not a given.

He’s been around a long time and people feel like they know all there is to know about him - good and bad. The unknown of an unproven coach can be a lot more exciting. The risk calculation changes with that unknown, too. Brady and Moore are the kinds of candidates that I can get a lot more excited about while also accepting that odds are heavily in favor of neither one of them working out long term. McCarthy has built a decades long career because he’s consistently found a level of success that has earned him trust and ongoing employment as a head coach.

…and get ready for the draft, where the Saints pick ninth (hello, Mickey Loomis) and get ready for the Senior Bowl.

Not going to lie, I’m kinda ready for some mock draft threads. I can’t be completely ready until we have everything else in place. Like what offensive/defensive schemes we will be implementing

 

[Saint Jack]

MM will give the Saints a solid five to seven seasons.
