| Saints Miss Out on Aaron Glenn. So What's Next In Head Coaching Search? | 23 Jan 2025 | 00:56:25 | |
A big name got scratched off the New Orleans Saints head coaching candidates list this week with Aaron Glenn committing to the Jets, so where does that leave the black & gold? In the latest episode of the Audacy original Inside Black & Gold podcast, Saints sideline reporter Jeff Nowak breaks down the latest in the head coaching search from a snowy New Orleans, what comes next, why Alvin Kamara is backing Darren Rizzi and whether it matters, then we look ahead to the Senior Bowl and a busy upcoming draft season.
SEGMENT 1: Aaron Glenn Picked the Jets. What’s Next for Saints in HC Search?
… The New Orleans Saints’ head coaching candidate list is one name shorter, and the name that got scratched off was near the top when Aaron Glenn officially picked the Jets – before the Saints even really had a shot.

SEGMENT 2: Alvin Kamara is Backing Darren Rizzi as Saints Next HC. Should it Matter?
… Alvin Kamara’s pick for Saints head coach “rhymes with Fizzi” and yes, he’s talking about the guy you think. Darren Rizzi has the support of the Saints locker room, but will it matter in the end? We break it all down, and what you should make of the Saints star’s social media proclamation this week.
SEGMENT 3: Saints Offseason Lookahead: Senior Bowl and Draft Pick Strategies
… The New Orleans Saints’ head coaching search will be dominating the headlines for the foreseeable future, but what else is on the docket? Jeff Nowak closes out today’s episode by breaking down what he’s looking for at next week’s Senior Bowl, ideal plans for draft assets, trades and more as we pedal on into a busy and vitally important offseason.
