Underhill: Saints are interviewing probably 12 coaches [Tracker: 8 confirmed candidates]

Mike Kafka has been regarded as a brilliant football mind since his playing days at Northwestern. He’s the exact kind of guy who gets a couple cups of coffee in the NFL then joins some coaching staffs and flies up the ranks. He helped to get early-career Patrick Mahomes “best ever” consideration as a 24-year-old.

Unfortunately, this fan base has been extremely loud and angry about the fact that he even got an interview, because “tHe gIaNtS wERe TerRIbLe” not realizing both points above, and also that if LSU product Malik Nabers hadn’t gone to NYG, none of those people could name a single offensive skill position player on that talent-poor roster. Sometimes the team itself is frustrating, but right now it’s the fans being terrible.
I appreciate the additional info on Kafka. About all I knew of him is that he's been with the Giants, and neither the Giants O nor Daniel Jones have been impressive. I was also wondering "WTH?!" Is it safe to say he's "on the map" due to his work with Mahomes; but hasn't duplicated that without Mahomes? I don't want to turn my nose up to ANY candidate, but I'm honestly trying to understand what this guy brings to the table besides "worked with Pat Mahomes in his early years of being an NFL QB." What else am I missing?
