Aaron Glenn is off the table for the Saints, now that the Jets have hired him to be their head coach. So what now for the Saints? Well, Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka — who surely wants to get away from Brian Daboll and the disaster in East Rutherford — is still a finalist in New Orleans.
Is Giants AHC/OC Mike Kafka one step closer to landing the Saints head coaching job after Aaron Glenn withdrew to accept the Jets HC job?
The troubling downturn for the Giants and their offense the past two years seemingly has not touched or damaged Mike Kafka’s reputation.
A rare snowstorm in New Orleans forced the Saints to press pause on their head coaching search this week, but things are set to get up and running again.
Based on the Rooney Rule’s language, if the Giants lose one of these two men (Brown or Kafka), they would get a compensatory third-round draft pick in both 2025 and 2026. If the Giants lose both, they would get an extra such comp pick in 2027 — but not a fourth such comp pick in 2028.
As New Orleans whittles down its list of candidates for the 19th head coach in franchise history, the Giants’ offensive coordinator has emerged as a leading contender.
For some of those teams, that will involve finding new head coaches and/or General Managers. Three teams fired their head coaches during the season and two more have been dispatched as of 9 a.m. ET on January 6.
As the Saints continue its head coaching search, things may take longer than anticipated to bring Kellen Moore and Joe Brady to New Orleans.
New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will get a second interview with the New Orleans Saints as former Dallas Cowboys boss Mike McCarthy is involved in rumors.
There have been changes at defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator, running backs coach (twice), tight ends coach, offensive line coach, outside linebackers coach and defensive backs coach.
The Saints were supposed to meet with Mike Kafka, Aaron Glenn and Anthony Weaver on Tuesday and Wednesday but Mother Nature had other plans:
Several teams have hired new head coaches this offseason, but one team still looking for their next leader is the New Orleans Saints. After a severe snowstorm delayed their interview process, the Saints have rescheduled interviews with several of their top candidates, including former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy.
