They've interviewed a lot of guys. Just make a decision.

Senior Bowl is THIS WEEKEND. Saints need all eyes, coaches, trainers & scouts on tap.

Does it mean they're targeting one of the coaches still remaining in the playoffs?

Good point. I haven't kept up with the rumors, but if they had asked permission to talk to someone word would have gotten out.

I think several teams are waiting for the games to play out when all coaching prospects are available.

As for the Senior Bowl that was mentioned, I can't imagine there's any team out there that has anything new to learn from the players in that game. No doubt all 32 teams will be in attendance, but from what I've heard it's as much for networking as it is for scouting. There should be a good deal of casual interviewing taking place in Mobile.

Possibly. I would prefer ANYONE from the Kyle Shanahan (Klint Kubiak) or McVay (Zac R - recently hired in Atlanta) coaching tree.

IIRC Underhill stated that he expects a hire to be made (this week) during senior bowl week.

At this point, I'd be ok with Jerrod Johnson, however I see he is scheduled to interview with the Bucs soon. His work with CJ Stroud in 2023 was rather impressive. Carr needs all of the help he can get. Even at age 32

Take Geno Smith (33) for example. He improved quit a bit last season with Shane Waldron (McVay tree) as his OC.
