Falcons TE coach Kevin Koger declines to interview for Saints OC position (10 Viewers)

[soggymoss84]

He either declined because he knew there was no way he would call plays, or because he felt he was a rooney rule interview

Does Rooney Rule apply to coordinators?

Does Rooney Rule apply to coordinators?

Yes. From the NFL website:

Should we be upset at this?

Kyle Pitts hasn't really lived up to expectations. Not even sure why we'd request an interview unless he has a history with Moore.

It’s interesting since Koger was TE coach with the Chargers when Moore was OC. You would think that would up the odds he would be willing to work with Moore.

Or there might be some animosity in there somewhere! It's pure speculation.

I wouldn’t be. We already have our play caller as someone mentioned above. That’s the most important thing.

Agree it’s speculation, although I would wonder why he would have animosity with a former TE coach. I checked to see if the Chargers interviewed Koger for their OC job in 2023, but they did not.

Koger interviewed for those other jobs, he might not want to go through the motions again when there’s a good likelihood that Moore brings someone from the Eagles.

I think it’s because everyone knows the OC is most likely Doug Nussmeier.

It's a lateral move, I wouldn't want to uproot my family unless there was a pay raise or an area we loved. He also applied for 2 OC jobs, maybe he got word that he is in the running for them.

I don’t trust falcons coaches anyways

Both those jobs have been filled by other candidates.

Doesn’t make any sense! The Saints hired Kellen Moore, and according to this message board, he’s the best HC hire this cycle!!

What is going on here?!?!?

Why wouldn’t he want to work with this injury riddled OL, aging star RB, and injury prone and ridiculously thin WR corps?

my 1st though as well, Pitts has been a huge disappointment
