I believe it. He can suffer a second failed head coaching attempt. If he keeps JD5 on track next year he will have his choice of the open jobs.

Funny thing is anyone can write a post on X and have some people believe it. But BS gets called out almost immediately, like this claim

Would make sense to me. Keep coaching with a team on an upward trajectory or help pour water out of a sinking ship?

Yeah I don't believe it either.

Were the Saints very interested in him? Sure, I can believe that.

I do not believe they offered him the job

Good, KK’s ceiling is mediocre at best as a head coach.

If tweet fails to load, click here.

This is what the guy actually said. Big difference from he could've had the job if he wanted and they offered him the job, which would've been without even interviewing him.

Did he even interview? I recall a virtual being scheduled, then he pulled his name out and said he was focusing on the team until payoffs were over...which was about 3 days after he made that announcement.

Also, whether or not his interview happened; wasn't it also before that completed an actual Rooney Rule interviews since virtual interviews don't count towards the RR

Well….underhill is Mickey’s little spin machine so of course that’s what he’ll say

Truth probably lies somewhere in the middle

F*ing Lazy Loomis.

but they never even made a second request to interview after he shut down his process and never talked to him.

Won't even make a legit effort to interview the guy they were going to hire "sight unseen"

I mean, KK never even had an interview here. Hard to believe we offered someone that didn’t even interview

Not hard to spin that

I'm not defending Loomis in any way, but either way, bullet dodged. Kliff has proven to be a good coordinator and nothing else. He isn't HC material IMO.

Yeah I don't know why he'd wanna leave the skins and coaching a phenom like JD5 to go coach the fricking Saints.

I don’t believe it either, but it’s not unprecedented - Bo Pelini.

I think it was Moore's job from the beginning, all these "turned the job down" reports are because those other coaches saw the handwriting on the wall.

You think Brady wouldn't have come here knowing he had the job?

The NFL inner circles all talk, they know what's actually going on, not some random tweet.
