The New Orleans Saints are in need of a head coach. New Orleans replaced Dennis Allen with Darren Rizzi, but it’s clear the team must search outside the building for their next head coach.
One of the candidates the Saints have been linked to is Mike Vrabel, and they now have the green light to interview him. After being the head coach of the Tennessee Titans (with whom he achieved a 54-45 record), Vrabel joined the Cleveland Browns as a consultant. His contract with the Browns was a one-year deal that expired on Monday. He can now interview with teams.
The New York Jets are another team to have reported interest in the former Titans head coach, so the Saints won’t be running unopposed. Vrabel is expected to be a hot commodity, so the field will grow beyond just New York and New Orleans.
As the Saints conduct an hopefully thorough search, Vrabel should be high on the list and one of the first names the Saints bring in.
