The New Orleans Saints are actively searching for a new head coach after dismissing Dennis Allen. Despite a narrowing candidate pool, the search has taken longer than anticipated, partially due to league policies and candidates still involved in playoffs. Prominent candidates include Darren Rizzi, the interim coach, and former Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy following his contract expiration. Virtual interviews have concluded, and in-person interviews are slated, but inclement weather has hampered the process. This situation follows a more expedited coaching search last year.
The timetable and time frame is dictated ... mostly by the league policies and rules that we have to adhere to ... and some of these candidates are still involved in playing games, and so that'll dictate the timing.
The remaining candidates include Saints special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi, who also interviewed for the 2022 opening and has been the interim coach since Dennis Allen was fired in November.
