Remember, coming out of 2023, Daboll refused to let Kafka interview for Seattle’s play-calling offensive coordinator job under new defensive-minded head coach Mike Macdonald.

Is Giants AHC/OC Mike Kafka one step closer to landing the Saints head coaching job after Aaron Glenn withdrew to accept the Jets HC job?
A rare snowstorm in New Orleans forced the Saints to press pause on their head coaching search this week, but things are set to get up and running again.
The troubling downturn for the Giants and their offense the past two years seemingly has not touched or damaged Mike Kafka’s reputation.
Based on the Rooney Rule’s language, if the Giants lose one of these two men (Brown or Kafka), they would get a compensatory third-round draft pick in both 2025 and 2026. If the Giants lose both, they would get an extra such comp pick in 2027 — but not a fourth such comp pick in 2028.
As New Orleans whittles down its list of candidates for the 19th head coach in franchise history, the Giants’ offensive coordinator has emerged as a leading contender.
As the Saints continue its head coaching search, things may take longer than anticipated to bring Kellen Moore and Joe Brady to New Orleans.
There have been changes at defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator, running backs coach (twice), tight ends coach, offensive line coach, outside linebackers coach and defensive backs coach.
For some of those teams, that will involve finding new head coaches and/or General Managers. Three teams fired their head coaches during the season and two more have been dispatched as of 9 a.m. ET on January 6.

The following day, general manager Joe Schoen stepped to the podium and declared the next four months would be spent upgrading the roster via free agency and the draft.
