If we’re adding I’d like to add Todd Monken and Josh McCown.

 

[Nolan]

Fingers crossed that "Maybe more" means Kingsbury.

 

[St. Geezy]

The latest.



The “Sequence Theory” remains intact.

Weaver and Kafka first, followed by McCarthy sometime later.

Yep, and they hire McCarthy as the last interviewee.

So, after Saturday, the Saints have met the Rooney Rule and are allowed to hire a coach after that.

Yes. However, I wonder if they should take their time and increase the candidate pool. If JAX and DAL make hires this weekend there could be benefits in waiting.

Not if McCarthy is their guy. Just get him onboard so he can start hiring a staff

I think they bring in Moore and Brady too next week... My understanding is they can still interview even if they are going to the Super Bowl as long as it's in the first week and not the second week.

My take is that from all that I have gathered is that McCarthy is the front-runner. He may not have been but when he walked away from the table in Dallas he became that. MM may have back channelled our interest before the Dallas talks started. I think MM wants the Saints job 1st , because of Mrs B and ML's reputation of having patience and giving the HC what he wants . So MM is not taking any interviews until he sees what happens with us.


I think we have McCarthy in the back pocket but ML is going through with the interview process on the other we have requested to satisfy the Rooney rule and to see if someone just comes in and blows them away

IMHO we will interview ,Brady, Moore early next wk and unless they blow the committee away we hire MM by the end of the week. I think Kingsbury stays in Wash another yr
