Saints to interview more head coaching candidates soon

More interviews are expected later this week into next.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the New Orleans Saints will begin interviewing additional head coaches at the end of this week.

The competition for the remaining candidates has intensified since the Jacksonville Jaguars parted ways with General Manager Trent Baalke. Joe Brady and Kellen Moore won’t be available for in-person interviews until after the conference championship games, so I expect this week’s interviews to feature Kafka, McCarthy, and Weaver.

The “maybe more” that Rapoport mentions might be Commander’s offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. However, he has decided to wait until his playoff run is over to focus on head coaching interviews.

At the time of writing this, it is still unclear if the Saints will have a new head coach in time for the Senior Bowl. Only time will tell.
