I think these coaches turned the Saints down. I do not believe the Saints turned them down. Look at the Saints situation. They are a no win scenario for years.
I believe he is the exception to this. He was not the top candidate or two, and it looks better to withdraw. Brady turned the saints down. Glenn was always partial to the Jets over the Saints.
2 of the OC's were in great situations already and simply didn't want to leave. It was clear that MM wasn't their first choice so he pulled out to save face.
The moral of the story, don't work for Dallas Cowboys, you will kill your career
Steve Spagnuolo was a head coach for the St. Louis Rams from 2009 to 2011. They were trash. And he was the interim HC for the Giants after Ben McAdoo was fired. They were trash too. Perhaps that's why Steve has managed to stay in Kansas City. Some coordinators are just better as coodinators rather than HC's.
2 bad Rams years, 1 mediocre year (2010) where they nearly won the division. But yeah: it was bad overall.
Big Time, Frank Reich, Wade Phillips, Dom Capers, Marty Mornhinweg, Ray Rhodes that list is endless.
Also being in a good situation and you’re compensated for it, you may not be interested in coaching. Plus all the day to day duties. He’s arguably one of the best defensive coaches in NFL history.
@@maxpuppy96
Frank Reich and Ray Rhodes don't belong on that list. Instead put Norv Turner and Bill Arnsparger.
@@maxpuppy96
Actually, Dom Capers doesn't belong either.
I fondly remember Spags as our head coach and his favorite offensive strategy. Run it up the middle, run it up the middle, run it up the middle, punt.
That sounds like a great strategy, I'm sure your team won a lot of games with that plan.
@@danamaniac66 LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
Man, I wish I could just take a year off. Catch up on sleep, study your profession at your leisure, live off the money from your last two jobs. Good for Mike McCarthy.
Must be nice.
After years under Jerry's thumb he probably needs to chill for a year.
Yeah I’m sure that’s it couldn’t be because no one wants him.
Bears wanted and got Johnson. Same with Jets and Glenn. So those jobs were hardly in play. He knew that. With the Cowboys out, that left the Jags, the Saints, and Raiders. None of those are premium opportunities as far as teams go, for different reasons. I can easily see the Giants, Dolphins, Browns, Panthers, Colts, etc, etc, all be in a position to fire and sign McCarthy next year. So I don’t think nobody wants him, so much as nobody did this cycle. Next cycle he would fit in with any of the mentioned teams…as well as the Titans, Steelers wouldn’t even shock me next season
McCarthy is much more comparable to Sean Payton than some give him credit for. I think it's his kind of big-oaf image. But the man wins games everywhere he goes
How did he do in the playoffs for Dallas?
@@XXsupervisor She does win games. He's a great high season win Coach. But he has fallen short in the playoffs since a short while after his SB win in 2010.
Give me a break. McCarthy is loaded. There is no pressure. Everyone I know in the real world doesn’t get a multi year multi million dollar contract to remove pressure
I think the HC vacancies this offseason were with disjointed organizations that were not particularly attractive to someone with McCarthy's pedigree. I agree with his decision to sit out. Better situations will emerge. It's not like he had to coach for money. With 18 years of HC experience, money is the least of his worries. Why set himself to fail at another organization if it looks like a mess?
Why would any franchise trust him? The last time he participated in a new hire press conference he admitted he lied to his owner to get the job. If I was a GM that's a hard no
He’s sitting out because he wasn’t offered a job, JFC get a clue
Another point, teams looking for a new head coach are all in a mess, that’s why they’re looking for a new coach.
@ He wasn't offered a job because he never interviewed for one. Bears were denied and even after he became a FA, he never went there. Jets are where HCs go to die. I wouldn't go there if I were MMc. Jags, no one wanted until their GM was fired, and MMc didn't want to work with Loomis with Saints. First time HCs will take any job offered. MMc can be patient.
@@mbrownie22 But an accomplished coach doesn't have to take a job that will doom him to failure. a HC needs to believe there will be compatibility with the GM/owner. MMc didn't have to take what he believes is an unworkable situation.
McCarthy is 61. He won a Super Bowl in Green Bay and led them to 7+ NFC championships. He made Dallas competitive again before his QB got hurt. He wants to coach a team that can compete before retiring.
No one wants to be the Saints HC 😂
At least Saint fans are consistent. Have fun rooting for the chiefs you scrub.
@ why would I want to root for the chiefs?
FTS
I do. I could buy a copy of Football Coaching For Dummies and do it up right.
@@lucristianx They are in Salary Cap Hell, and they won't/can't get a decent QB. Their whole offense for the past few years have been leaning on Alvin Kamara.
As a Raiders fan, I'd rather have Pete Carroll than Steve Spagnuolo as HC. In Pete Carroll I Trust!
Name one head coach over 70 that’s been successful.
Just like Garrett, never even got a serious sniff for a HC Job! Should have been fired after Packers loss, but Jerry was too cheap to eat last year of contract!
So in the end the Cowboys-McCarthy split has left both parties worse off.
Kellen Moore will be the next great head coach, i don’t understand why teams wouldn’t consider him.
Also, with regarding Spagnolo.....remember they were kinda saying the same thing about Eric Bieniemy on the offensive side of the ball, and it turned out that no......Bieniemy would not really be a good head coach. He's been pretty much moving backwards ever since he left KC. Also, look at all the teams that got burned by the Patriots head coaching tree.
Some organizations are just not suited to creating head coaching material when you are an assistant coach. It might be that your role is too specialized and the parameter in which you work make you great at one thing, but not as a manager of a whole team. I dunno. But I think too much of KC's success is wrapped up in Andy Reid like it was with Bill and the Patriots. It just never flows down to the assistants.
As a lions fan, the loss was devastating. But i understand gettinf your OC back. Great move for KK
Saints should just hire the interm head coach. He had good energy.
Why? They fired the Head Coach and the interim coach is part of the previous regime. Usually teams want a clean break and go another route unless of course you’re Jerry Jones.
Kellen Moore being a head coach is wild. I remember him as a back up qb for Dallas. And didn't he say he covets the Cowboys coaching gig.
Skill coaches or coordinators don't always make the best head coaches. Too many agents telling star coordinators they should be head coaches instead of enmeshing them into the system of an existing head coach for longer periods. Look at Spagnola and Scarnecchia -- legends. You don't have to be a head coach to have an outsized place in an organization. Every season the coaching hunt gets saturated by hot coordinators trying to ascend the ladder -- instead of thinking about whether they are actually head coaching material. Some are, some aren't. Look at Dan Quinn's journey.
Mike needs to take a year off, relax, get in better shape , hang w the wife and spend some money.
As a life time Rams fan (1969) I don’t blame Steve for the 3 seasons he had for the Rams. The team was a disaster back then 😢
I don't necessarily agree with this take. Yes, he has a previous history with the Saints, but that seems like the most unappealing job that was available this cycle. No qb of the future or early enough pick to get one. Old roster, bad contracts, and negative cap room. He would need a year to tear it all down, let alone be competitive. Mccarthy probably probably gets one more shot at HC and I wouldn't take that one.
@@assassinatdape The Saints during that time was trash for anyone who went there. So I understand. However, he still didn't do well taking over for Ben with NY. So I guess he has a track record of mediocrity with being a HC.
Didn't the Cowboys completely meltdown against the Packers last year even with a healthy team that was unbeaten in the regular season? How come we are conveniently forgetting that McCarthy was at the helm when that happened? Couldn't it be that he's just not that good?
Dallas couldn’t stop good teams from running the ball. They had a fast, small defense that was built to play with the lead by rushing the qb and creating turnovers. When they played strong teams and couldn’t jump out to an early lead they were screwed.
As a Packer fan, he's fine? McCarthy's thing is that he is just kind of inert. He doesn't make a team worse, but he doesn't make it particularly better either, and he *definitely* doesn't add anything in the game management department. He has his plan, he has his guys, and he almost never changes the way he does things. If he has good players, then that's fine, particularly during the regular season. He'll usually beat up on the bad teams and split the difference with the good ones and put up a pretty good record as a result.
The problem is that in the playoffs, *all* the teams are mostly good. Because he's so married to his way of playing he never makes adjustments and gets crushed by teams that actually prepare for a specific opponent. Case in point, that Packers game, where the Cowboys trotted out pretty much the exact same gameplan they did the entire regular season and the Packers were completely prepared for it.
He's much more of a regular season coach than a guy I'd want to try and win a Superbowl with. Yes, he won that one with the Packers, but in retrospect that was a pretty stacked team that got a lot of breaks with injuries and the like. In most other cases he just isn't adding enough to get a team over the hump in a tight game.
How many second time head coaches excelled after doing absolutely terrible the first time around? Quite a bit
McCarthy should be the Raiders OC and heir apparent to Pete.
Teams don't want old retread coaches, they want those young shiny newcomers with the new way of football. Not saying it is right or wrong, just the way it is.
Guess thats why the Raiders hired Pete Carroll
A lot of older players. A lot of long contracts. The saints have no money.
Falcons should hire him once they fire Raheem next year
There could be a lot of big time openings next year smart move.
Giants
Bengals
Bills
Cardinals
Colts
Tampa
Dolphins
Steelers
Browns
Titans
49ers
Theres a chance for some of those to open up.
4:49 Brockman, designated unpleasant truth-teller
Jerry Jones did McCarthy dirty 😳, left him high and dry.
Just straight up Saints PR from Rich 😂
I don't envy whoever takes the Saints HC mantle. We could be seeing a 1 year rental/scape goat.
Spot on with Kellen Moore...the Saints are going to have to go into rebuild, why not rebuild with a young coach that can be there for a while and survive the rebuild years?
It's weird to see Kellen Moore as a head coach. Mainly because I remember watching the dude play QB at Boise State. I'm only 31. It feels weird for a guy like that to already be a HC. But I get he's been coaching in the league for like 8 years. Time really does fly.
@@GundamGokuTV His success is going to depend on how much of Scott Linehan's system he will keep. He never really updated it during his time in Dallas and ever since.
McCarthy should look for a college job. He is old school and the nfl has passed him by.
It's really difficult to tell, in most instances, if a coach is doing a good job. My pops coached for 41 years and even though it was just one of those big/serious high school programs, unless you see a coach at practice, unless you see a coach making decisions things happen to the team, unless you hear their rationale for things, you have no idea. These idiots who just poach coaches from winning teams are so stupid. These coaches who get fired after one or two seasons? QB contracts have ruined the NFL. You can't build a team any other way without some extreme luck. Saquon may end up as one of the best in history, but it won't last long term. Now O-line members will get poached and since you can't pay them all....see ya. Then next season they will injure Saquon from overuse, the O-line will be a shadow of itself and the year after the coach is fired.
Great coaches make the best of what they have to work with. McCarthy is a good coach, but the type that wants to push his formula despite not having the people to make that work.
Maybe the assistant coaches for the Chiefs like having rings?
Overplayed his hand badly. I think anyone coulda snuck 1 super bowl out of 14 years with favre and rodgers
One SB is more than many good HCs in the league have, even with good QBs. How many SBs did Donald Shula win with roughly the same number of years of Dan Marino? That's right .... ZERO. Improper measuring stick, JJ.
@MrDCMiami anyone wins with 14 years of favre and rodgers. Me or you win 1
@@jimmyjam1710 Repeating your first point does nothing to strengthen it, nor does it counter my reply to your original post. You might as well have not even replied.
But no one has
@@MrDCMiami anyone wins atleast one with 14 years of favre and rodgers. Nobody anywhere cares about the dolphins
ONCE AGAIN RIch’s status as an NFL EMPLOYEE is clouding his judgement. That is the ONLY way Rich can say that the Saints turned McCarthy down. Reports from EVERYWHERE else are saying that the SAINTS are being turned down.
If Bill couldn't get an nfl job after the patriots. What gives Mike the confidence. College football for Mike next year 😂
McCarthy gets a bad rap, but everyone forgets that he and any other head coach in Dallas for that matter, has one hand tied behind his back and any coach that doesn`t have full control of the team shouldn`t be judged the same as coaches that have a free rein.
Mike McCarthy doing media? 😂
McCarthy should come to the Jets & become the Offensive Coordinator; it’s already built for him; why sit at home; woody can make a splash!
So now Rich tell us which teams will be needing a coach next year! The Giants?
They never interviewed McCarthy. If they had any interest whatsoever and were invested in him, he would have been offered a job.
Maybe Spags would rather win super bowls as a DC than have a mediocre team as a HC... Wouldn't you?
College?
Bring Jim mora sr.back
Go on Ozempic. Come back next year a lean mean fighting machine.
Chiefs had to wait to get Todd Haley from the cards years ago!!! Spags was the interm after fisher when rams moved from St. Louis to LA yes he got head coach title and lasted 2 more years. As chiefs fan I hope stays and hunt pays him well but he deserves another shot.
WHAT A JOKE,ONLY BECAUSE EAGLES ALREADY HAD A GREAT TEAM KELLEN WALK RIGHT IN THAT ONE.
The Saints is a terrible job. $70 millions over the cap. The roster is going to be trash for the foreseeable future.
Mike McCarthy gambled and lost. Had the opportunity to re-sign with Dallas.
Brockman is correct, of course.
He had a team of good players and couldn't do squat with them. That is good coaching?
Pragmatic owners will be impressed that he chose to leave the dumpster fire that is the Cowboys. Egomaniacal owners will say no thanks.
He's shown you over two decades he can't go deep in the playoffs. Only desperate teams will hire him though they shouldn't.
This was a bad hiring cycle. Raiders and Saints have horrible rosters and bad positions in the draft for getting a QB. The draft itself is bad for QBs. Only really two viable first rounders. Saints overall have a horrible roster and cap situation (pointing at you Sean Payton) because of their propensity to overpay aging veterans on their roster, lack of development of draft picks, etc. Jets also out of the QB convo and honestly think Aaron Glenn should have stayed in Detroit. The only opening that was legit was Chicago with their blend of young talent, young QB, cap flexibility, and overall stable situation relevant to the other dumpster fire openings. McCarthy will do well to wait until next year.
The CHIEFS are the best COACHED team in the league............and no one is getting ANDY REID!!
Andy Reid is retiring .
Mccarthy got old money he got 21st century stay at home dad money he dont need to coach dont blame him for not rushing to get an oc job mans is 11th all time in wins for a head coach
Mike is awful at clock management and his teams are penalty magnets. Never gonna take a team anywhere in the current day.
Playoffs playoffs what plants 20 years ago 🥸🤪
He should retire.... he's got a SB win.... I really don't know how, but he does...
There are some coordinates are just coordinates. Going to hc is more than they can handle and it just didn’t turn out. You Can look Vic eagles def coordinator. Hes not going to be a hc again. These coordinators that are going for hc for the first time will see if they sink or swim. They are going to terrible organizations and either they put out the fire or get fire or control the fire.
Boring ancient offense and poor time management. This guy will never coach in the NFL again. He's lucky he tricked the cowboys into thinking he had modernized after he got fired from GB.
McCarthy has been handed talented teams and won. Any one could have won with the teams he was given. He has never had to build a team.
His first year in Green Bay was Rodgers second year in the league. So, are you saying McCarthy had no influence in Aaron Rodger's development into the HoFer he turned into?
@LdyVder No, but they had a good team around him.
@LdyVder What if Rodgers went through what Alex Smith did in San Francisco. This is not about Rodgers. Just saying McCarthy has always started with a talented team and never really produced what others might have.
Kind of a shame-I thought McCarthy was the ideal candidate for the Saints job.
May not be for one of the older coaches in the league.
Hell no, the saints are in a terrible situation. Old players, no salary cap space. No respectable coach should take that job.
They never interviewed him.
Who the hell wants to go to the saints have u seen that team they are in cap hell have little or no cap for free agents carr is a walking mash unit dude is always hurt 1 good WR who also gets hurt alot and 1 good RB the defense is good not great moore is nuts leaving the eagles who btw is a very good team going to another SB to go to a lousy team the saints and win what 4 games F outta here
Nobodies raiding that team.... Patriots had string of good coaches and assistant coaches, that when they left that system couldn't coach for squat. Chiefs holding it together and their Kansas City Refs special teams hold that organization together.
He had nothing in Dallas but three winning seasons wow 🤪🤪🤪🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸
Maybe he does not want to be coach of a shitty team
How many coaches in the league right now have a superbowl? Half those names have been in discussions for being fired or not hired. People open you eyes. McCarthy is a great head coach. 1 current head coach and maybe 5 historical ones could have done better with that 2024 cowboys roster and overall situation with injuries and Jerry jones. All these great hires have a fraction of the experience. Your HC isn’t just about play calling and scheming. He’s the guy that motivates the players, gets them psyched for pivotal games and makes the last minute calls that win games. He’s the guy that deals with the players that kills someone at 2am drunk driving or that loses their baby daughter week before a game. All these “great hires” who coach offense don’t necessarily have that ability. Is Dan Campbell a good coach by the standards you judge McCarthy? Be 💯 about it. Put the resume side by side and see. You say Bills HC, Ravens HC, Steelers HC, Bengals HC need to get fired but almost cream yourselves over Ben Johnson and 6 years ago over Kliff Kingsbury who everyone has amnesia about going into next season. None of us know what a good HC is apart from the last guy to win the Super Bowl.
Vic Fangio was never the Rams HC?
They were talking about the Chiefs' DC, which is Spagnuolo, not Vic Fangio.
Wrong. Kellen more is staying put.
hope so
Love to see how this chick Rich shows her truth.
The moment TJ mentions for a second that the refs have the chiefs back.
Rich immediately gets mad because she knows it's true
unless rich prefers to be recognized as she/her, I don't think Rich generally responds when referred to as "she", case in point his wife of many years and multiple children.
Can't grasp that the Chiefs are just good enough to take advantage of their luck, can you. Just like the people that still haven't grasped that Trump won yet another election. Denial just ain't a river in Egypt.
