Saints are flying Kafka and Weaver in for 2nd interviews [Interviews completed] (1 Viewer)

[Stew 2.0]

Kafka is considered Puerto Rican, so this pair of interviews, legitimate or not, definitely check a box.

They have already checked the Rooney Rule box prior to these interviews. They must have heard something they liked about these two in the first round of interviews

To my knowledge, we haven’t had any in-person interviews, which is a requirement for compliance. I could be wrong though and missed someone.

The Rooney Rule to adjusted in 2021. You must interview 2 minority candidates “in person”.

From the NFL Operations Site:

“In 2021, the NFL approved changes requiring every team to interview at least two external minority candidates in person for open head coach and GM positions and at least two external minority candidates — in person or virtual — for a coordinator job

The Dolphins and Giants are not teams I’d be looking to for coaches.

The Cowboys in 2005 were only 9-7 and the offense was ranked 15th. You could have said the same thing about Sean Payton.

The last two years I only watched the saints games occasionally when I felt like checking in to see how Dennis Allen was making them suck.

Not going to lie, both of these head coaches would just bring on the same mentality. I'll just watch the Saints games when I'm curious how they are bad.

I’m more interested in Weaver than Kafka.

This is just a bad all around look for the league

Exactly how I feel. Neither of these hires would excite me. Beat case scenario they flame out, we get top picks over the next 2 years and somehow come away with Arch and Jeremiah Smith for the future.

You mean the fact that it’s even needed?

Ya. At this point if Loomis goes with either of these two, I'll be convinced that Loomis is intentionally tanking the Saints for some reason. Arch, moving the team, selling... idk. Take your pick. But hiring Dennis Allen to become one of the worst teams in the NFL then hiring another coach to be the same... has to be intentional... right?

Me too. Not thrilled about either one, but Ross Jackson talked about Weaver as a culture changer type of coach. We need that after so much beta, DA energy.

This is just to make everyone feel better when it’s McCarthy

…or he genuinely thinks these are two good candidates worth another look to make sure he’s turned over every stone.

…or these are Rooney rule check boxes.

Things don’t have to immediately jump to being a conspiracy theory.
