The Jacksonville Jaguars had their eyes set on Liam Coen as their next head coach. The New Orleans Saints have shown no interest in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator, but they are interested in Joe Brady.
With Aaron Glenn joining the New York Jets, that leaves the Saints, Jaguars, Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders as the remaining openings. Ben Johnson and Liam Coen are off the board, Brady could be seen as the next best offensive option.
The Jaguars, specifically, are searching for an offensive minded coach to pair with Trevor Lawrence, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Coen didn’t see that as appealing enough. With their general manager out of the way, Brady could feel differently.
Fowler calls Brady “a name to watch,” but not the new candidate. That a similar position he has in New Orleans. Both teams will have to wait until next week to interview Brady during Pro Bowl week.
It originally seemed as if the Saints would have no competition for Brady, if they want him, but Cohen declining Jacksonville could change that. As both the Jaguars and Saints are forced to pivot away from their top guy, they may both turn to Brady as their next top target.
