For the majority of the past couple weeks, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has been the favorite to land the Saints head coaching vacancy. However, as of late Thursday, former Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has taken that spot.

What do we think of this move, and who do we think will end up with the gig? Jim Derry asks WWL-TV sports director Doug Mouton what he thinks on Friday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 334) presented by Evangeline Securities. What about Joe Brady and Kellen Moore – do either one of those young candidates stand a chance, and would that change how much Mickey Loomis is involved in personnel decisions going forward?

Jim also brings in the pick ’em crew as Gabe Henderson and Uncle Big Nick share their best bets of the weekend for the NFL’s divisional round and the CFP championship game on Monday.

Dattitude premiered in September 2021 to focus on what's important to sports fans in south Louisiana. While we focus on the Saints, we also talk plenty about the Pelicans, LSU, Tulane, Prep, sports betting, fantasy sports and all the big-time sports events happening in and around New Orleans. Host Jim Derry brings more than 33 years of experience covering sports in the region, and he'll "always tell you the way it is ... or at least the way he THINKS it is."
