Out of 12 possible coaching candidates for the Saints, where do they rank in the Tier Maker?

By John Hendrix - Saints News Network | SI

The Saints coaching search is moving along, as they've interviewed five candidates thus far. Only one of those has been an in-person interview, and more are on the horizon.

Completed Interviews: Joe Brady, Darren Rizzi, Aaron Glenn, Anthony Weaver, Mike Kafka

New Orleans has their work cut out for them this offseason, and they have some time to get their next head coach, but they also can't linger here. The sooner they get the right person in place, the better planning for the new season.

Ross Jackson (Locked On Network, Louisiana Sports) and I got together for another episode of Second And Saints to evaluate potential head coaching candidates for the New Orleans Saints. We started off by discussing Mickey Loomis' recent press conference remarks and ultimately give our tier rankings for 12 different coaching candidates.

Saints Head Coach Tier Maker - Ranking Candidates for New Orleans

Mickey Loomis' Insights
: The press conference highlighted three major points: the incoming head coach will have the authority to select their staff and have input on the quarterback, the state of the salary cap and there is an emphasis on ensuring alignment among the owner, GM and coach. New Orleans is seeking a leader who aligns with the organization's vision. ...

Report: Ex-Saints head coach could team up with Ben Johnson on Bears

Things are picking up in the NFL coaching carousel — Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is going to the Chicago Bears, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that ex-New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen is “the leading candidate” to join him as defensive coordinator.

Allen previously interviewed with the Indianapolis Colts for the same position, but they reportedly went with longtime Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo instead. That frees up Allen to join Johnson in Chicago.

And wouldn’t you know it, but the Saints have a road game with the Bears scheduled...

The College Football National Championship will take place on Monday night with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish taking on the Ohio State Buckeyes. There will be plenty of 2025 NFL draft prospects showcased that the New Orleans Saints should keep an eye on.

Heading into the draft, pretty much every position on the field needs to be addressed in some way. The good news is that these are two schools that generate a ton of NFL talent and have been targeted by the Saints in the past.

Here are the top prospect matchups that New Orleans needs to keep an eye on in the game:

Report: Saints scheduling in-person interview with ex-Cowboys head coach

It’s been rumored for weeks, but the New Orleans Saints are finally scheduling a sit-down interview with former Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy. McCarthy previously met with the Chicago Bears after his contract with Dallas expired last week. Because he’s not under contract with another team, he’s free to meet in person without setting up an initial virtual interview.

Per NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill, that’s going to happen later this week, with exact timing depending on the weather. A rare winter snowstorm is headed for Louisiana and the Gulf South...

Lions coach Dan Campbell 'prepared to lose both' coordinators this year

New Orleans Saints head coaching target Aaron Glenn has expressed the comfort of returning to the Detroit Lions if it came to that. But his head coach, Dan Campbell, surely doesn’t seem to see that happening.

Campbell told media, he’s “prepared to lose both” Glenn and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson this offseason. This mindset likely stems from two things: Campbell has high belief in both of his coordinators, and he’s had conversations with both of them after their interviews.

Campbell’s belief in his coordinators has been validated by what the Lions have built over the last couple of...

With an early exit for the Detroit Lions in this year’s playoffs, one of the New Orleans Saints top candidates will be getting a second look a little earlier than expected.

Does Chase Daniel have an inside track on the New Orleans Saints head coach search? The longtime NFL backup has found success as a media analyst and commenter after hanging up his cleats, and Drew Brees’ old handshake partner shared his predictions for which candidates will take which jobs in this year’s cycle.

And he doesn’t have Aaron Glenn, Kellen Moore, Mike McCarthy or Kliff Kingsbury going to New Orleans. Instead of those A-listers, it’s New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka who Daniel sees wearing in black and gold.

The New Orleans Saints roster is a concern going into the offseason. Almost every position needs to be upgraded, and the weak points of this roster are extremely weak. With the current cap space for the Saints, free agency will look like a few 1-year cheap deals that help make issues look a bit better. While these moves help fix the cap in the long run and the roster stay afloat, the NFL Draft is where the Saints can get answers. Overall, the 2025 NFL Draft is not the strongest in the 1st Round. This draft class will be remembered because of its depth. Day 2 will be massive for teams to...

We’ve got movement in the New Orleans Saints head coach search. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that New York Giants offensive coordinator and assistant head coach Mike Kafka is flying in to New Orleans for a second interview with the Saints, this time in person (per NFL rules).

So why are the Saints so high on a high-level assistant from one of the worst teams in the league? You have to look beyond the results of his Giants tenure to see why they’re so high on Andy Reid’s former quarterback coach.

Kafka quickly rose through the ranks on the Kansas City Chiefs and won a lot of...
