Saints expected to be very interested in former Packers/Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy [McCarthy will interview early next week] (26 Viewers)


We should make an attempt at him as well. Now it makes sense why the Bears were removed from the coaching betting odds
The Vikes can't be that stupid. If he became available, he would be my top choice.
 
If McCarthy is hired, realistically, how many seasons does he get?

Think he just coaches until he doesn’t want to do it anymore. He’s at age 61, so if he gets us good I can see him doing it for 8 years or so, at least.

I mean, Pete Carroll is 73 and getting interviewed for jobs.

He’s also the same age as Sean Payton, FWIW.

How fast can he find a franchise QB and make us a contender? His current age is second to answering those issues, which applies to any new coach.

I may have misunderstood the question. If what’s being asked is how long will he be given to turn the team around, I think any coach deserves three years to get to the playoffs in today’s game, unless you immediately turn the team into a complete crap show, with player mutinies and such.

…kind of like what happened with DA.

I agree that a guy like him should get at least three years unless the team has shown no growth. However, I would be very concerned if we were not in the playoffs by year two. Again, I would expect that from any new coach.
