The New Orleans Saints search for a new head coach is full steam ahead and the latest name tied to the team is former Dallas Cowboys head coach, Mike McCarthy. According to reports, McCarthy is expected to meet with the team sometime early next week. Meanwhile, the team is continuing their process with interviews set up with Washington Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury, Philadelphia Eagles OC Kellen Moore and Buffalo Bills OC Joe Brady this Friday and Saturday. Detroit Lions DC Aaron Glenn and New York Giants OC Mike Kafka have already completed their virtual interviews last week.

Mike McCarthy expected to meet with Saints about head coaching job next week

NEW ORLEANS — Fresh off his split with the Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy isn’t wasting time looking for his next NFL job. The veteran coach is set to meet with the Chicago Bears on Wednesday, and he’s expected to visit the New Orleans Saints early next week, according to the NFL Network.

McCarthy’s five-year run with the Cowboys ended Monday after a disappointing 7-10 season, marking a sharp drop-off from three straight 12-5 seasons and playoff appearances. While he notched a 49-35 record in Dallas, his postseason struggles—including just one playoff win—proved costly. Failed contract...

Klint Kubiak has interviewed with two teams so far this offseason, the Seattle Seahawks and the Cleveland Browns. He sat down with the Browns on Monday, and reports say Cleveland announced their going in a different direction Tuesday afternoon.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Cleveland has promoted Tommy Rees to a new post as their offensive coordinator, which leaves just Seattle on the table. Kubiak’s meeting with the Seahawks was Tuesday.

Kubiak led the New Orleans Saints offense to a hot start, and Alvin Kamara had his best rushing season of his career. The offense showed more...

The Chicago Bears beat the New Orleans Saints to the punch in scheduling a sit-down with former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Bears will interview McCarthy for their vacant head coach position on Wednesday, with his peer Ian Rapoport adding that the Saints plan on speaking with McCarthy themselves next week.

“No firm date established, but that is the plan,” Rapoport says. Multiple teams are said to be in the mix for the 61-year old coach once his Cowboys contract formally expires at midnight Tuesday.

His career record nearly matches Sean...

Mickey Loomis views Sean Payton ties as a strength, but not a necessity

The New Orleans Saints holding on to the Sean Payton era has been a common criticism when discussing the team’s direction in recent years, as well as their ongoing coaching search. After Payton, they hired in-house with Dennis Allen. The Saints’ favorite in this cycle is widely assumed to be Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, who was on the Saints’ staff from 2015 to 2020.

When asked about the potential bias in this connection, but not Glenn specifically, Loomis told reporters on Monday that, “I don’t know that I would agree with that. I understand the connection between...

B/R predicts Saints will trade another defensive back this offseason

Change is coming soon for the New Orleans Saints, who are actively looking to find their second head coach since the departure of Sean Payton.

With a change in leadership, there is always the potential for roster turnover during the offseason. And when you are over $50 million over the salary cap, the likelihood of this does increase a bit.

Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report recently predicted six league trades that could take shape this offseason. Of these six trades, one of them includes arguably the most celebrated Saint currently on the roster.

A true New Orleanian himself.

What we learned from the 2024 Saints season

The 2024 season was not a year the New Orleans Saints would like to remember. Injuries to just about every star on the team, a bad defense, and just five wins were all a part of the disastrous year for New Orleans. While there weren't a lot of positives to come out of the season, we learned a lot about the team and how they responded. From firing a head coach in the middle of the season to starting a rookie quarterback with immense promise, the 2024 season was just a foreshadow of what's to come.

Injuries took a huge toll on the Saints' season with the wide receiver room and the offensive...

The New Orleans Saints hold the No. 9 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and are in prime position to grab one of the best players available. They have a massive need at offensive line, and luckily for them, a few of the top guys should be within reach.

One of the guys the Saints could look to draft is former LSU OT, Will Campbell, so I thought today we could take a deep dive into his game and see if the Saints should draft him.

Height: 6-foot-6

Weight: 323-pounds

Position: Offensive Tackle

Draft Projection: Early to mid-first round

When you look at Will Campbell’s tape, there are a ton of...

The New England Patriots hired Mike Vrabel on Sunday morning. It was the most obvious pairing of this coaching cycle. It was also the first domino to drop, but it may be the only domino to drop for a while.

As it currently stands, the other major coaching candidates, specifically the Detroit Lions coordinators, are still in the playoffs. Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, and Joe Brady will all be in the playoffs next week. Brian Flores will be as well if the Minnesota Vikings win Monday.

This quartet likely make up multiple teams’ top guy. The New Orleans Saints are one of those teams. Teams...

As Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys part ways yesterday, could the New Orleans Saints be interested in bringing back their former OC?

The Saints' GM met with the media on Monday to close out the season and he said he has full confidence in his quarterback going forward.

The former Saints head coach will be a valuable asset as a defensive coordinator in this coaching search.

Drew Brees says NFL teams could learn a lot from Brock Purdy's story

Drew Brees knows his way around the quarterback position — that much is evident by the simple fact that he is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. The New Orleans Saints legend retired with quite a few records to his name and a place waiting for him at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

While he is far from proving he can reach the same heights as Brees, former Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy has far exceeded the expectations with the San Francisco 49ers.

Once seen as “Mr. Irrelevant” as the final pick of the 2022 NFL draft, Purdy has become a legitimate starting NFL quarterback...
