Saints request to interview Kliff Kingsbury [Jan. 16: Kingsbury plans to wait to take interviews until after the Commanders’ playoff run] (5 Viewers)

[No2DC]

His stock will only go up and he will probably be the top candidate next year.

I mentioned it in another thread, but Kingsbury has no reason to rush. He is still earning HC money through 2026 from that contract extension he signed with Arizona before he was fired.

Correct. He’s got a great thing going right now. I’d love to have him as HC, but I won’t be mad if he stays put and gets his money

Hopefully we have our new HC before that happens.

This! He is probably last on my list. I think he's a good coordinator, but don't think he's head coach material. And even though I loathe USC, what he did to them was super shady and makes me question his character, loyalty, ethics, etc. Not a guy I want leading my beloved Saints...

 

[NatureBoy]

If we get shut out on McCarthy and Glenn, I don't mind waiting for Kliff.

More reason to pull for him to win this week so maybe we can make our hire before he can interview. I know I’m in the minority, but stay away….

“I’m about to make a name for myself here”.

- Probably K. Kingsbury before facing off against HC competition Aaron Glenn and Ben Jonson

 

[St. Geezy]

So he’ll be available starting Sunday morning then, cool.

Looks like you got your wish. Maybe we will get one of these losers yall are so sure about while he’s putting together a game plan for the NFCC

Yes, he’s sooooo much better than the other candidates

I would like to see the Commanders win it all for the sole purpose of the sheer agony it would cause Atlanta.

Yeah the more I read about his time in AZ the more I get “DA on offense” vibes.

Great OC, not a HC.

This is absolutely correct. Yes, he had 1 good season in Arizona out of 4, but the other 3 years were quite literally rivaling DA's time with the Raiders and Saints for head coaching bloopers.

He’s my #2 on my “Intrigued by” list behind Kellen Moore.

Talk about a guy that got a raw deal, Arizona really crapped on this guy IMO.

I’ll leave the interviewing to the experts, but KK and Moore are the two guys I want the most from our realistic targets.

Moore pooped the proverbial bed at the end of Philly’s playoff game with the Rams and got bailed out by the D. SB is running all over LA and he decides to throw the ball in the final drive when all they needed to do was kill the clock and instead turns it over with more than 2 minutes to go. I was not impressed.

Yep. I'm honestly not a big fan of his offensive scheme and I'm hesitant to hire another retread, but I do think Kingsbury was a promising young coach that took the fall for a QB injury after building a good team.

Plus, he's clearly done good work with Jayden Daniels getting him ready for the NFL. And he coached Mahomes in college, but I know I will now here that Mahomes was already a QB god as a high school senior so Kingsbury gets no credit.

Pretty much how I feel, not in my top 3 but would rather him than say....Glenn....
