One other candidate has dropped out of the race for the New Orleans Saints’ head coach job.
NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero reported on Tuesday night time that Mike McCarthy has determined to deal with the 2026 hiring cycle. McCarthy had been scheduled to interview with the Saints this week.
A report from NFL reporter Tony Pauline that was revealed on Monday mentioned that preliminary talks between the Saints and McCarthy didn’t go properly, and people within the group weren’t “enamored” with the previous Cowboys head coach.
Pelissero’s report saying McCarthy now desires to deal with the 2026 hiring cycle may very well be a pleasant manner of claiming the Saints determined to not rent him. It’s additionally potential the 2 sides mutually agreed to not transfer ahead.
