The New Orleans Saints flew out to Philadelphia to meet with Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore. The aggressiveness of this move suggests he is the Saints main target, but don’t count out Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator, Anthony Weaver.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Weaver “has come up often as a candidate that’s made a strong impression.”
Of the names who have interviewed, Moore, Weaver, Mike Kafka and Darren Rizzi, Fowler’s report could suggest Weaver has an advantage over most of the candidates. Weaver has been the recipient of positive endorsements
Mike McCarthy isn’t a part of the group since he has yet to meet with the Saints. NFL Insider Josina Anderson reported a possible disconnect between both sides on certain details. Those details feel like potential non-negotiables for McCarthy.
If McCarthy never enters the picture, let’s say the Saints are left with having to pick between Weaver and Moore. That’s one coach who made a strong enough impression to be a constant talking point. You took a trip to the other coach to interview him instead of waiting for him to come to you.
