The New Orleans Saints are stepping into this head coaching search with an open-mind. This is likely one of the lessons the Saints front office learned from the last time they had to make a change at head coach.

Is Aaron Glenn the clear favorite? Where does Mike McCarthy fit? Why is Loomis so confident he will make correct choice this time? What about personnel?

Saints general manager Mickey Loomis is showing no interest in stepping down and no lack of confidence in his ability to find the right coach to hasten the end of New Orleans' four-year playoff drought.
