I honestly believe it didn't help that the media was probably full of crap this time around with this coaching search. In '22, they all knew it was DA's job. This time around, nobody knows anything really. I never once bought the Glenn hype, just because Loomis is familiar with someone doesn't mean they were favorites. Now Loomis might eventually hire McCarthy, wanting to interview people vs people being the favorites for the job is where this disconnect happened.
For all we know, Loomis could come out the night the Super Bowl concludes and say Moore was their guy all along and ride the PR wave of "HEY, WE GOT OUR GUY." whilst nobody ever knowing they were ever that high on him. Or, they could hire McCarthy this week and say, "YEP, HE WAS OUR GUY!" No matter who they hire, it will be "this is our guy we wanted all along".
What IS interesting is the money line started changing with odds moving in a very positive direction of Moore on Friday. There was one point where the odds at one website had McCarthy at -200, Brady at -250 and Moore at 500 with Kingsbury at -1200. On Friday, it was Moore at -250, McCarthy at -200.
