Saints expected to be very interested in former Packers/Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy [McCarthy will interview early next week] (15 Viewers)

That depends if Jones let Zimmer go. Jones seems petty.

This. I don’t see Jones letting Zimmer go. In fact, I bet he forces Zimmer on his next HC.

Half the fans hated Brooks, the other half hated Jake. Those were the days.

Brooks was very good for several years. I’d put Brooks right (well not right but way behind) Drew in the QB pecking order for the Saints. He accomplished a lot more than the rest.

Lol. I meant to delete that because I really did not want to start that "debate" again. It was over the top. But I accidentally left it on my screen and posted it.

Is Zimmer's contract up in Dallas?

Yes!

If we hire Mccarthy I just don't know if I can do it guys...

I wanted Doug Pederson, but now Mike McCarthy becomes my #1 choice. Besides the fact that he has history w the Saints, and has a winning record and SB success. I would love nothing more than for him to come here and have more success than he had in Dallas to stick it to Jerrah.

Also, we’d basically be hiring SP 2.0. They have nearly identical records. Over .600 regular season winning %, .500 playoff %, 1 SB victory, have made playoffs around 60% of the season’s they’ve coached(actually McCarthy 67%, they’re leas than 2 months apart in age.

Just looked online. Looks like Zimmer was on a 1 year deal.

I honestly liked both, lol.

He would be the least energizing choice for the fan base because there is no surprise factor with him. But he is the safest choice. The track record is right there.

Kingsbury seems like Dennis Allen part 2. Losing head coach. Losing record in college. Losing record in pros. But somehow it'll be different with us?

He had Patrick Mahomes for three years and still couldn't put anything together. He's like Chip Kelly but people still buy the hype for some reason.

Man I’ll tell you what…if McCarthy and Zimmer indeed are a package, McCarthy has catapulted himself to being my #1 guy.

He may already be it; this just 100% solidifies it.

I didn't hate either, but I did think Brooks was better. But I also think that Delhomme should have started when Brooks was clearly hurt.

 

[Covington Saint]

His cap number is $31 million more than the next highest player. Square that for me.

Is called the importance of the qb position buddy. There’s 8 other players stealing money.

His contract expires tomorrow.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy's contract expires on Jan. 14

Serious trivia question:
What was the expiration date of DA's contract?

Exactly how I see it as well. Brooks was clearly better when healthy, and Jake would have been capable enough when Brooks was hurt. I blame Haslett for screwing up that mess.

Terrible excuse, buddy.
