The Cowboys have interviewed New Orleans Saints RBs coach Derrick Foster for the same position on Brian Schottenheimer’s staff, according to sources. He also coached with the Chargers, overseeing Austin Ekeler’s rise.

Another day, another New Orleans Saints coach interviewing for a lateral position move with a new team. This time it is running backs coach Derrick Foster, who has interviewed with the Dallas Cowboys for the same position. Foster previously worked with the Los Angeles Chargers from 2021 to 2023, crossing paths with Saints head coach candidate Kellen Moore for a season before Moore moved on to the Philadelphia Eagles.
This seems like a somewhat odd move if Moore is the pick for head coach, but ultimately it seems many of the assistant coaches are being allowed to leave and find new teams if they wish. The unfortunate part is many of these are lateral moves, so they are leaving for the same job just with a different team. Foster may be added to the list of one-and-done coaches from the Saints’ 2024 staff along with offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and maybe quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko. They are beginning to completely wipe the slate clean for whoever the new head coach may be.
