What if they interview Brady and his condition for taking the job is canning Loomis?

Rod Walker had a great comment on today's Saints Insiders podcast.

"Your OC is only as good as your Quarterback."

We don't have a Josh Allen walking through the door of the Saints facility anytime soon.

Just food for thought about Brady's success in Buffalo, it might not translate to New Orleans.

Remember how good of a OC Eric Beienemy allegedly was for haivng Patrick Mahommes? He didn't even run the KC passing game and fans thought he was HC material. The QB is the key. You don't need a superstar, but having someone at least better than average is likely crucial. Then, after you have a QB, he'd better have weapons, a running game to take the pressure off and an offensive line. The Saints need help in all of those areas as well.

Yes indeed, the Carolina gig killed Joe Brady's career, it was that bad. Joe Brady failed David Tepper and Matt Rhule.

What could the Buffalo Bills have been thinking when less than 60 days after Brady was fired in Carolina, they hired him?

Joe Brady, one of the greatest comeback stories in NFL history.

With a All Pro QB who also made Brian Daboll look good. And I'm not saying he wouldn't work. Just pointed out something that scares me a little. But if we go that route I'm good with it

You're hired!

I have never played or coached football before. Still, could I really do THAT much worse?

 

[Madmarsha]

Can't we just realize it is what it is, deal with it and keep trying to move on from all the Loomis bashing, subtle or not?

I initially read this as “caning Loomis” and thought you guys have really gone off the deep end

 

[SuperSaint]

Obsessing on things we don't like and can't control is bad for our souls. It doesn't change anything or make us feel better in the long run. It only makes us bitter and depressed.

Agreed, just can't shake it.

This was a question that popped into my head as I was watching today's podcasts.

We've already seen this happen a couple of times in this cycle.

It's clear that Brady is the guy they're waiting on. If he were their guy, they could have hired McCarthy a week ago.

What if Brady wants the job, but doesn't want Loomis?

Didn’t last coaching hiring cycle, wasn’t DA interviewed in person early and the following 2 or so weeks we interviewed everyone else then announced DA as head coach?

Didn’t we interview Rizzi in person about a week ago and now in the coming week we’ll be interviewing everyone else?

As a Jags fan I don’t think that Saints fans realize how bad Baalke was. The Jags situation was very unique. Loomis has done a horrible job over the past few years but he’s still leagues better than Baalke. Brady is overrated. So he was a good OC for the best college offense of all-time and a Josh Allen led offense. Big whoop

 

[3ParStillDriver]

The thing that scares me about Brady is the success he's had is when he's been given a loaded roster. When he didn't have one, Carolina, it didn't go well. If we pick him I will pull for him to do well, but I just not sure he's ready to be a HC. I hope I'm wrong if we go that route. I also believe if McCarthy gets the job, Carr stays. If Brady gets it, Carr is gone. Just my 2 cents that doesn't mean didley.

Again this is not true. In his first year in with McCaffery on IR early in the season and only a WR1, Teddy Bridgewater and Mike Davis had career years and were the 21st offense in the league. 21st isn’t good. We all know that. But you had a backup QB, backup RB, and basically an entire offense devoid of talent everywhere including OLine except for your LT and one of your WR’s and still hung up over 350 pts for the season while the defense was Swiss cheese letting opponents hang up over 400.

That’s pretty dang good for an offense of nothing but 2 and 3rd stringers all season long minus two positions.

And yet he’s had more success than Coen and Glenn combined.

What if MY condition for hiring ANYBODY is canning Loomis?

Then you are going to be sorely disappointed.

I’m sorry but this doesn’t make sense. You should dig deeper into what happened in Carolina.

He or his team? Mickey Mouse could OC Burrow throwing to the current best two WRs in the NFL, or to tell Josh Allen to be megatron.

 

[Drunk Bucs Fan]

No competent organization with a consistent level of success would let a first time HC pick his own GM. It reeks of desperation, like giving up a king's ransom for a creepy qb.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't fire your current GM because he may be awful. But giving too much power to a HC who has never done his own job before is crazy.
