Sat Jan 25 03:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Saints Remain Top Choice for Top Coaching Candidates After Frenzy of NFL Hires
**New Orleans, LA** – The New Orleans Saints’ coaching search took an unexpected turn when top candidate Aaron Glenn accepted the head coaching position with the New York Jets. However, the team’s remaining candidates – Joe Brady, Mike McCarthy, Mike Kafka, Anthony Weaver, and Darren Rizzi – appear to be exclusively focused on the Saints.
A flurry of coaching hires across the league saw Ben Johnson join the Chicago Bears, Pete Carroll head to the Las Vegas Raiders, and Liam Coen land with the Jacksonville Jaguars. With the Dallas Cowboys expected to promote Brian Schottenheimer, the Saints are now positioned as the only team without a head coach still actively seeking a new leader.
Despite the Cowboys’ vacancy, none of the Saints’ candidates have shown interest in interviewing with Dallas. This leaves New Orleans in a prime position to secure a highly sought-after coach, with at least Mike McCarthy guaranteed to be available. A recent snowstorm in the Southeast had briefly delayed the Saints’ interview process, but now the team can proceed at their own pace.
