A league source tells me some of the questions surrounding Mike McCarthy and the Saints head coach vacancy (ever since he became a free agent) have involved sentiments over the power structure & communication when it comes to football decisions, length of contract, etc.–similar to the situation in Dallas.

Additionally, a lot of league perspectives have been given as to what owner Gayle Benson should do when it comes to operations in her building in the future. I'll leave it at that for now.
