The fact that the Saints didn't hire a head coach on Wednesday greatly increases the chances that Kellen Moore will be the team's next head coach. Because if they were going to hire any of the other three candidates, they could have done it on Wednesday. The Saints cannot officially hire Kellen Moore until after the Super Bowl.

The drop-outs left Moore and Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver as the Saints' top candidates, and Moore has more coordinator experience despite being so young. He's spent six seasons as an offensive coordinator between three teams, regularly garnering head coaching interest over the years.

The New Orleans Saints are the last team standing in the 2025 NFL offseason head coaching carousel. The team fired head coach Dennis Allen amid a disastrous 2024-25 campaign, one in which the Saints started out hot but then faltered mightily down the stretch.
