Saints Coaching Search: Potential College Candidates Who Surprisingly Could Emerge

The Saints likely will not target the collegiate ranks to fill their coaching vacancy, but here's some names to watch if they do.
By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI
The New Orleans Saints will be among as many as 8-10 NFL teams that are expected to have a coaching vacancy this offseason. Now at 5-11 going into the season finale at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Saints fired Dennis Allen after a 2-7 start to the year.
Several NFL coordinators will be highly sought after for head coaching jobs. Other veteran head coaches like Mike Vrabel, Jon Gruden, and Pete Carroll will also be pursued. One avenue that hasn't been mentioned much among the NFL rumor swirls, at least so far, is through the collegiate ranks.
There haven't been many who have made a successful jump from college to the pros. In fact, several have been colossal failures over the years. There are some, like Kirby Smart (Georgia), Dabo Swinney (Clemson), James Franklin (Penn St.), Ryan Day (Ohio St.), Kirk Ferentz (Iowa), and Bret Bielema (Illinois) that are career college guys.
Here are some current college coaches that could emerge as surprise candidates for an NFL job. A few head up storied programs but have NFL ties. Others are extremely young talents rapidly rising through the coaching ranks. ...

BREAKING: Saints hire Brandon Staley to be their next Defensive Coordinator
With New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore focusing on the offense, the defensive coordinator is a massive hire. Making life as a head coach as easy as possible is essential for a first-time head coach, and not having to worry about the opposite side of the ball can be a great way to do that. Since Moore’s hire, Brandon Staley has been the favorite for the job due to their past connection, similar to Doug Nussmeier on offense. The team also interviewed Philadelphia Eagles defensive backs coach/passing game coordinator Christian Parker and Minnesota Vikings defensive backs...

Yaccarino’s 2025 Saints Mock Draft 1.0
The New Orleans Saints won’t be major players in free agency due to their cap issues, so the draft will be a big focus this offseason. With new schemes coming in and improvements desperately needed to be made, the 2025 NFL Draft is full of talent that can elevate this team and change the outlook of next season.
With the Saints’ first pick in the draft, they can go in many different directions. The roster needs talent and improvements, so going with the best available player is the best decision at 9. For this mock draft, that prospect is wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan out of Arizona...

Ashton Jeanty and Saints would be a perfect pair, per this draft expert
If you ask the Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski, the New Orleans Saints and Ashton Jeanty are candidates for a perfect marriage. Jeanty and the Saints have been connected because of Kellen Moore’s Boise State ties, but Sobleski stayed away from that low-hanging fruit to explain why Jeanty could fit the Saints so well.
Taliese Fuaga and Trevor Penning impacted Sobleski’s decision as well. He sees a world where putting Jeanty behind “two young, run-blocking tone-setters at offensive tackle” could be turn Jeanty into the “focal point” for the Saints offense for the future.
