Saints request to interview Kliff Kingsbury [Jan. 28: Kingsbury decides to remain with Commanders] (10 Viewers)

[Saint KayBee]

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.

Good for Jayden Daniels’ development to keep the same OC going into his 2nd year

Aka “I was told Saints have a frontrunner”

They all know Moore is the guy

I would question his sanity if he gave up that gig, especially since he is still getting paid like a head coach.

...literally, as the Cardinals are still paying him from his time as HC there, yes.

 

[DerrickB]

I don't blame him.
Keep getting paid by the team that fired you and continue to collect a check from your current employer. Build up your profile with JD5. Next year. better jobs will open up.

It’s all good, run it back with Jayden.

 

[St. Widge]

It’s all good, run it back with Jayden.

So Washington is going to keep chopping wood?

Honestly, I wouldn’t blame Kingsbury for being patient and more selective about his next head coaching job, having a disappointing stint on his resume already. I think that puts him in a different situation than the other candidates.

He's the guy I wanted and was holding out hope that he'd take a shot on us. Just like with Joe Brady, he's taking a big chance. Look what happened to Bobby Slowik, went from hot up and coming coach to fired in a years time. But I get that Kingsbury is still getting paid like a HC so it makes more sense for him to stick where he is.

I liked Kingsbury too but I couldn't see him coming here with our QB situation and him still getting paid as a HC. And as DavidM mentioned above, he's a guy with one more shot to be an NFL HC after getting fired from his first job. He has to be very selective about his next job because he's not going to get another one if he fails again.

Thanks Kliff for letting us know you're a coward ahead of time, you could've wasted three more years. I dont mean this harshly, im being honest. Id rather know now that an applicant is terrified of a challenge than to waste our time. (i know theres possibly financial reasons he stayed, but we know the real reason, and thats fine) Sean Payton accepted this job even after missing the GB job (to Mike Mccarthy). There was barely even a city and the dome was heavily damaged among many other issues when he signed up.

 

[Rexman100]

Hey is Kliff response today due to a request we made today or the original request? Im curious if we're still shopping around.

 

[Saints 318]

I have no problem with his decision
