If we end up with Rizzi and also let our young up and coming OC walk that would be nuts. We still need an OC. If we end up with Riz we’d have wanted to keep Kubiak I think. It’s Kellen or bust now. We’re gonna overpay for his arse too, he has all the leverage.

We don't want him anyway!

Let's go with Coach Rizzi.

No Glenn, no Johnson,, no Brady, no Kingsbury, etc..

Even McCarthy chose a year on Ozympic over an aging roster lacking a franchise QB, and anvil'ed to a bunch of bad contracts.

Looks like the overrated chosen one that has been masked by Cowboys and Eagles talent will get the call? Meh.

The fools on here will bend over backwards to believe the Saints are getting turned down be everyone in the league.

McCarthy wasn't getting interest from the Saints. Plain and simple that's all it was. This announcement is him saving face.

Keep in mind this might have been who they had their eye on for a while. Rules meant they couldn't in person interview till this week - they previously did a zoom interview with him.


Nah, I think they were all in on Glenn. And once he didn’t leave the Jets they had to reshuffle the deck.

Probably. And given his age and current trends in NFL. I would fully expect most any team to try Moore over McCarthy in 2025, SB resume or not.

My two lifetime NFL teams..Raiders and Saints. Both with clownish FOs. Loomis lost his Fastball long ago, Payton bailed to Den and Walton ownership. And Al Locasale and Al Davis have been deceased for ages now.

This sucks.

McCarthy needed the time off anyways.

McCarthy + Nawlins food = a Rick Majerus end to life.

Maybe we can hire Ed Orgeron and really tank the team in record time.

Based on what? The rumor mill?

I think they had wanted to go offensive background coach the whole time, but that's also based on rumors.

They aren’t getting Moore, it’s been Rizzi from the start. All of this coach search has been is a smoke screen for Saints fans.!if they want to her Rizzi, it’s better to look like you actually tried to hire a good coach so that you avoid the Dennis Allen appearance.

If it was Rizzi then Kubiak would have been retained.

IMO the tell will be if Rizzi takes the Denver ST coordinator job this week or next.that's basically sitting there waiting for him.

If they Moore takes the job or if he's already taken the job (Kubiak took the OC job the week before the SB but they didn't announce until after the game) They're not going to keep Rizzi on the hook just to tell him they're not hiring him. They'll give him the optics of him backing out to become Denvers ST coach. If Rizzi doesn't leave for Denver before the SB then IMO there's a good chance he's getting the HC job in NOLA and Chris Banjo will take over ST in Denver.

IMo the way it falls not is
Moore
Rizzi
Kafka
Weaver

I like the Kellen Moore choice over Brady or any other name that was floated this year. Not sure why he'd take it but maybe he thinks he can win here. We are in the worst division in football and there's been a lot of bottom of the barrel teams that have turned it around recently with smart draft choices.

If venture to say news has started to leak as to whom the saints are hiring, and so guys are backing out


Yeah

Brady, McCarthy and Moore all have the same agent. Obviously there’s more at play here that what’s on the surface. Looks a lot better when the coach pulls their name vs not getting a job

Rizzi might have wanted his own guy for OC.

I have to think most on this board never got a woman to agree to a date with the total defeatist attitude around here.
