Just Yes. Don't over think it. If true, then you have a HC who has been to and won a SB. Everyone has baggage. It's easier to accept baggage when you know winning is a proven track record. He is also great with QBs. He knows offense.
But he's only part of the equation. Bring in Schwartz as DC; that's your other prize. That's the piece that completes Sean Payton as a coach. He needs a strong DC to offset his weaknesses and short comings. But a DC from the same coaching tree that adheres to the same basic principles.
We need a strong staff. Not up and coming guys. We need LEADERS at every level of this organization. We can't rely on one guy.
A 2nd or 3rd round pick is nothing. We've wasted enough 2nds and 3rds on garbage. Let's get real value from our picks. Balking at a 2nd or 3rd for a premiere coach is short sighted. Pay the price for being stupid and let's get back in the game. A great HC will be here for over a decade and will cost far less than any great player.
If it's real, you pull the trigger. Don't look back. And go about building for next year. Or do you want to drag your feet again this offseason and neglect to address obvious problems? That worked out well with Philbin. We lost another year of our lives.
You have a Super Bowl winning coach in his prime and you want to walk away over a 2nd round pick? Please.
