Introduction

The New Orleans Saints are gearing up for a pivotal week as they plan to conduct in-person interviews with prominent coaching candidates Joe Brady and Kellen Moore, according to ESPN’s Ian Rapoport.

Impact of Weather on Coaching Search

This exciting development comes amid a snowstorm that has impacted the team's search for a new head coach, causing delays in meeting with several other candidates, including New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka and Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.

Competitive Coaching Cycle

In an unexpected twist, Aaron Glenn, who was also in contention for the position, has been snatched up by the New York Jets, showcasing the highly competitive nature of this coaching cycle.

Meanwhile, former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is expected to interview at the Saints' facilities this week, adding yet another layer of intrigue to the Saints' coaching search.

Candidates in the Playoffs

Both Brady, now the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills, and Moore, who has made waves as the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, are currently deep in their playoff runs.

However, they remain available for interviews during the upcoming off week, as they have conducted virtual interviews with the Saints already, even if their teams secure a spot in the Super Bowl.

Interim Head Coach Update

In more reassuring news for the Saints, interim head coach Darren Rizzi has successfully completed his in-person interview, potentially marking a significant step in his bid to secure the head coaching position full-time.

Conclusion

As the Saints navigate this crucial moment, fans and analysts alike are speculating about the impact these coaching decisions will have on the team's future. Could Brady or Moore bring new life to the Saints' offense, or perhaps even lead them back to Super Bowl glory? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain: the next few days are bound to be thrilling for New Orleans football fans!
