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. ...

It’s been a wild month for Teddy Bridgewater. A few weeks ago he was celebrating a big win in high school football after coaching his Miami Northwestern alma mater all the way to a state championship. Then he signed with the Detroit Lions as a backup quarterback, and on Saturday night he was tabbed to go in against the Washington Commanders after Jared Goff had to step out for a brief injury evaluation, having gotten banged up on an interception return.

With a lot of his old New Orleans Saints fans (plus teammates and coaches) cheering him on, Bridgewater threw his first pass in a...

Tonight, the Detroit Lions host the Washington Commanders in the second of two Divisional Playoff games. Detroit comes into the game as the NFC’s top seed and should be well-rested off of their bye, while the Commanders come in off a tight Wild Card win in Tampa a week ago. Detroit is the favorite here, but Washington hopes to make things interesting. This could be a good way to conclude the first day of the 2025 Divisional Playoff weekend!

The New Orleans Saints have completed yet another virtual interview with an offensive coordinator in the playoffs, this time meeting with Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.

This was Moore’s first season in charge of the Eagle’s offense and third team in as many years. He broke onto the scene a few years back when he was with the Dallas Cowboys, under fellow Saints head coach candidate Mike McCarthy.

Philadelphia had the eighth-ranked offense in the NFL this past season with 367.2 yards per game. They had the seventh-best scoring offense with 27.2 points per game...

Today, the Kansas City Chiefs host the Houston Texans in the first of two Divisional Playoff games. Houston is fresh off a steamrolling of Los Angeles last weekend, while Kansas City is fresh off a bye week, resting up for this game. Patrick Mahomes and CJ Stroud will certainly put on a show, and it will be fun to see which of these teams punches their ticket to Championship Sunday. This should be a great way to start the first day of the 2025 Divisional Round!

The USC Trojans announced Saturday that they’ve hired former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan to a role on Lincoln Riley’s staff. His official title will be assistant head coach for defense and linebackers coach.

Since leaving the Saints, Ryan previously coached with Trojans defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn on the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills.

Ryan replaced Steve Spagnuolo as Sean Payton’s...

There are people who believe hiring a head coach from an offensive background is the way to go in order to build a Super Bowl-winning team. Just don’t bring those people around Aaron Glenn.

When considering his future prospects this week, including a potential path to becoming head coach of the New Orleans Saints, the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator was quick to bring up Bill Belichick and Mike Tomlin as examples of defensive-minded coaches who won Super Bowls.

That’s not a worry with the Saints. Mickey Loomis made it clear the team will look at coaches from all disciplines...

Aaron Glenn is a favorite for the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints head coach jobs, and he looks at his journey with the Detroit Lions as perfect preparation for that opportunity. He was adamant this week, saying, “We know, as a staff, how to build a winner.”

Things didn’t click in Detroit immediately. In Year 1, the team went 3-13. The following year started poorly as well before streaking to the finish line. Now they’ve been back-to-back NFC North champions. That journey taught him how to “build it from the beginning and sustaining it from here on out.”

The ability to build is a...

The New Orleans Saints have not yet settled on who will be the team’s next head coach as the search continues, but it is safe to say that Aaron Glenn has emerged as a fan favorite.

In addition to names like former quarterback Drew Brees, ex-Saints running back Reggie Bush also named Glenn as his pick to be head coach for the 2025 season and beyond. Like Brees, he and Glenn were once teammates in New Orleans.

Glenn has had a lot of success as the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator, as the unit was stingy in 2024, ranking seventh in points allowed.
