When guys like Adam Gase get multiple head coaching jobs despite never displaying any level of competence but guys like Lovie Smith, Jim Caldwell, and Flores who actually did admirable jobs in their positions lose their jobs and don't get another crack, something is definitely up.

NFL players make up 70% of the player pool but only 3% of active head coaches. Are we really to believe that disparity is solely based on competency?
He was actually interviewing with the Saints yesterday, and reportedly told the Saints ahead of time about what was about to break, they said come on down.

My money is still on them giving the job to DC Dennis Allen (still blows my mind he can't get a sniff anywhere) as they could keep their assistants that way and help keep the culture in place, but if it's not him I wanted Flores. After the Saints spending the past decade with a coach the NFL has a tumultuous relationship with, that'd be kinda funny if the next one is the same thing.
