Aaron Glenn has left the Jets, for now, without a deal

Let’s not overreact to this, but Aaron Glenn left his Tuesday meeting with the New York Jets without a deal in hand to become their new head coach. And neither did Lance Newmark, the Washington Commanders executive interviewing to become their new general manager. They worked together on the Detroit Lions and popular perception has been that they could be a package deal in New York, which would add an appeal to the job Glenn couldn’t find on the New Orleans Saints.

But this has happened before. As SNY Jets beat reporter Connor Hughes observed, former head coach Robert Saleh left the Jets...

Alvin Kamara just cast his vote for the next Saints head coach

Don’t look now, but New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara just cast his vote for who should be the team’s next head coach. He says interim head coach Darren Rizzi has earned an opportunity to lead the team.

“Aite my vote for head coach rhyme wit Fizzi…” Kamara wrote on social media.

And the Saints are at least giving Rizzi a real shot at the job. He interviewed alongside other candidates and is expected to get a second interview just like Anthony Weaver, Mike Kafka, and maybe Aaron Glenn.

He’ll need to have a plan to right this ship. Rizzi went 3-5 as the interim coach replacing...

I bet the New Orleans Saints head coach search being delayed to a snow day wasn't on your 2025 bingo card. But alas here we are as the Saints have postponed interviews with head coaching candidates Aaron Gleen and Mike Kafka due to unprecedented snow in New Orleans, per Tom Peliserro.

Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is interviewing with the New York Jets on Tuesday and was scheduled to visit New Orleans on Wednesday if he were to leave unsigned by the Jets. New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka was supposed to fly in to interview on Tuesday. Both candidates have...

Mickey Loomis' approach to head coaching search: 'We're not recruiting'

As the New Orleans Saints begin the second stage of their head coach search with in-person interviews, it feels like an appropriate time to look at Mickey Loomis’ approach to meeting with prospective coaches.

Loomis doesn’t believe he has to sell why the Saints would be attractive to coaches, because that’s not what the interview process is about to him. Instead of saying, ‘this is what we have to offer,’ Loomis believes discussing visions and how they align is the proper way to look at interviewing coaches.

Loomis elaborated on that point: “The right thing to do is not try to sell. The...

New York Jets can offer Aaron Glenn something the Saints just can't match

Aaron Glenn is meeting with the New York Jets on Tuesday to interview for their open head coaching job, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Jets’ goal is to not let him leave the building. It says enough that Glenn met with the Jets before flying in for a sit-down with the New Orleans Saints later this week. That the Jets are this determined to seal the deal suggests it could get done quickly, and the Saints could miss out on their top target without ever getting another chance to speak with him.

And the Jets have something they can offer Glenn that the Saints just can’t match: the...

The New Orleans Saints are going to get a second look at Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, who interviewed virtually with the team just over a week ago. He’s a highly coveted defensive mind with several key interviews lined up.

Weaver’s name rings a lot of bells but not just from his time in Miami. The Weaver name started to grow louder during his tenure with the Baltimore Ravens where he spent three seasons mostly working with the defensive line.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh spoke highly of Weaver during last years coaching cycle stating that teams will have...

The New Orleans Saints front office has begun their process of taking in-person interviews starting this week. One of the first candidates that will get their shot at a second interview will be New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, and formerly of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Shortly after Kafka’s time in Kansas City, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid delivered some raving reviews about his former pass game coordinator a few years back. During the 2023 coaching cycle, Reid personally endorsed Kafka to Michael Bidwell owner of the Arizona Cardinals.

In his own words, Reid said that...

The New Orleans Saints were ready to start their round of in-person interviews, but weather has pushed their plans back to later this week, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

As things stood on Tuesday, Mike Kafka, Aaron Glenn and Anthony Weaver had scheduled interviews with New Orleans. Kafka was in line first for Tuesday, while Glenn and Weaver were scheduled for Wednesday. All of these have been pushed back due to the snow in New Orleans, but there’s no official date set yet.

This update doesn’t impact Mike McCarthy. His interview was already planned for later this week but without a...

While the New Orleans Saints are still searching for the franchise’s next head coach, the Chicago Bears have landed former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. After Detroit’s surprising departure from the playoffs, it was inevitable that Johnson would choose his next coaching destination. The Bears always seemed to be the leader for his signiture, but the Raiders were also in the mix. Now, with Ben Johnson hired as head coach, the next step is finding new coordinators, and two former Saints coaches seemed to be top options for the Bears. Per Adam Schefter, former Saints head...
