Giants' Mike Kafka Emerges as Strong Candidate for Saints Head Coaching Job

The offensive coordinator balances Senior Bowl duties with ongoing interviews as the Saints weigh their options for a new head coach.

Mike Kafka, Giants offensive coordinator, has completed two interviews with the New Orleans Saints and is a leading candidate for their head coaching position.
Kafka is coaching the National team at the Senior Bowl while awaiting updates on the Saints' decision, showcasing his leadership and coaching skills.
The Saints are considering multiple candidates, including Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, though Moore is reportedly a strong contender for the role.
If Kafka remains with the Giants, there is internal discussion about him regaining play-calling duties after Brian Daboll handled them during the 2024 season.
The Saints face significant roster challenges, including salary cap issues and quarterback uncertainty, making the head coaching role a complex opportunity.
