Potential HC Openings (And Where The Saints Rank)

As said above there won’t be as many as 11, I’d be shocked if the Jets, Giants and Titans fired their coaches. Anyhow, the following should all be interviewed for the Saints position:

Ben Johnson
Frank Smith
Bobby Slowik
Eric Bieniemy (again)
Shane Waldron
Mike MacDonald

Would love Ben Johnson but working on the assumption he goes to the Chargers or Bears, I think Frank Smith makes a ton of sense. He’s obviously coached here before and has been around some elite offensive minds. I get the not calling plays concern but I guess the whole point of an interview is to ascertain whether he’s capable of running an offense and leading a whole team. A Johnson or Smith HC hiring paired with the drafting of Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels would be ideal.
