Does anyone want to coach the New Orleans Saints? The former Dallas Cowboys coach decided he will focus on the 2026 hiring cycle, according a report from the NFL Network.

Mike McCarthy has decided against coaching in 2025, removing himself as a candidate to fill the NFL’s last remaining head coaching vacancy with the New Orleans Saints

Between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy has been coaching in the NFC for 18 years, and he's accrued a record of 174-112-2 in that time.

Giants coach Brian Daboll faces an uphill battle to keep his job past 2025, his fourth season in East Rutherford. Co-owner John Mara has said he wants immediate significant improvement. And it’s hard to imagine the Giants being any good in 2025 — while playing the NFL’s toughest schedule.

Mike McCarthy is no longer planning to coach this year, sources told ESPN, while Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has emerged as a lead candidate for the Saints job, the last remaining head coach vacancy in the NFL.

With options thin on both sides, could Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys decide to run it back for the 2025 season?

Kliff Kingsbury is expected to be among the most sought-after head coaching candidates this offseason but he may be hurting his own chances of actually landing a job.

Kingsbury declined to conduct any interviews while the Commanders remained in the postseason, where they lost on Sunday to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC championship. The Saints are the only NFL team still seeking to hire a head coach and had requested an interview with Kingsbury that he will not take.
