Another name out of the Saints coaching sweepstakes, according to late Tuesday reports.

By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI

Reports late Tuesday night surfaced that Mike McCarthy is no longer in consideration for the New Orleans Saints head coach vacancy.

McCarthy, 61, had been the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys for the last five seasons. In that time he guided Dallas to three playoff appearances and a 49-35 record. Unable to reach a contract extension, McCarthy and the Cowboys parted ways this offseason.

Prior to Dallas, McCarthy had coached the Green Bay Packers for 13 years between 2006 and 2018. Over that time, he led the Packers to nine postseason trips, a 125-77-2 record, and a Super Bowl XLV championship.

The McCarthy Saga

McCarthy had also been offensive coordinator for the Saints from 2000 to 2004. Several had linked him to the current New Orleans opening. There are slightly mixed reports about which party actually pulled out of a potential hiring.

Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported that McCarthy will not coach this coming season, instead focusing himself on the 2026 head coaching cycle.

2024 Saints free agent report cards: Was letting Isaac Yiadom go a big loss?

The New Orleans Saints are nearing the offseason once again, and as the time passes by, we have some time to consider the previous year of signings and departures. While the 2024 offseason was not particularly one filled with an exorbitant amount of moves for the Saints, there were definitely some notable ones that made things interesting.

One of the more intriguing departures from the Saints was cornerback Isaac Yiadom, who after a career year ended up leaving them in pursuit of a new free-agent deal, and found one with the San Francisco 49ers. Here’s how things have gone for him both...

For former New Orleans Saints Interim Head Coach Darren Rizzi, it didn’t take long to find a new home.

Amidst a difficult and turbulent 2024 campaign that saw head coach Dennis Allen be fired after a 2-7 start, Rizzi stepped up to the plate and led the Saints to a 3-5 record.

He brought a spark of energy and excitement to the Saints and their fans and made a difficult season a lot more enjoyable to rewatch.

This move will reunite him with Sean Payton and return him to a role he’s seen nothing but success with thus far in his career.

As expected, the Denver Broncos are hiring former New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi to Sean Payton’s staff as special teams coordinator, as first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Rizzi went 3-5 after taking over from Dennis Allen last season and earned a shot at the full-time head coaching job, but ultimately the Saints chose to go in a different direction.

So he’ll be reuniting with Payton and many former coworkers in Denver. Payton brought Rizzi to New Orleans in the first place after he parted ways with the Miami Dolphins, ending a long run as their own special...

The New Orleans Saints have their coach after hiring Kellen Moore. They know which players are headed for free agency in March and which draft picks (or at least most of them) they own for the big event in April. So which dates should fans circle on their calendars?

Moore’s first offseason as a head coach will be full of big decisions. He needs to finish filling out his coaching staff and then turn his attention to the personnel on the roster. Some of those decisions will be impacted by guarantee trigger dates written into players’ contracts and other deadlines. Here are the flashpoints we’re watching out for in the weeks and months ahead:

It’s been official for a couple of days now, but former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator and Super Bowl LIX champion, Kellen Moore, is the new head coach of the New Orleans Saints.

The hire signals a new era of New Orleans football, with all ties to Sean Payton officially severed. The focus for the next week or two will be building a new staff, but shortly after that, they will put all their time and energy into free agency and the 2025 NFL Draft.

It’s no secret that the Saints roster isn’t the best and has some massive holes, but luckily for Moore, he has a lot of draft capital...

Kellen Moore is now officially the new head coach of the New Orleans Saints, and although it is extremely exciting, some things need to be understood going into next season. Seeing immediate success in 2025 should not be expected, and really, the first year of a head coach’s tenure should be treated like a rookie year. In addition, the Saints and Moore understand that rebuilding this team will be a process, and this roster is not in a great spot.

With some aging veterans, bad contracts, lack of young talent, a question mark at quarterback, and so many holes on the roster, New Orleans has...

The New Orleans Saints have a significant decision looming regarding starting QB Derek Carr’s future in the Big Easy. If they choose to move on from the veteran signal-caller, Laurier Golden Hawks QB Taylor Elgersma could make sense as a Day 3 NFL Draft pick.

The 6’6”, 220-pound gunslinger has a cannon for an arm, can extend plays with his legs, and I’d consider his decisiveness above average. Elgersma had a breakout senior season, completing 293 of his 397 pass attempts (73.8%) for 4,252 yards, 35 touchdowns, and just 11 interceptions in 13 games played. He was the winner of the 2024 Hec...

Kellen Moore is the youngest head coach in the NFL, and will be peers with some of the New Orleans Saints veterans. Sure, he’s a young head coach for the first time, but Moore has years of experience with with being a young coach.

“I’ve been in those shoes for a number of years now, being a 31-year-old offensive coordinator, that first time, half the guys in the room I was teammates with two years prior,” Moore reflected during his introductory press conference.

Moore got his start as the Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks coach the year after he retired. He was coaching Dak Prescott months...
