The New Orleans Saints have interviewed Philadelphia Eagles running backs coach Jemal Singleton for their offensive coordinator opening, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. This move that satisfies the Rooney Rule and allows them to hire an OC. You’d hope that minority candidates like Singleton and Christian Parker had a real shot at the job and weren’t just being used to check a box.
Singleton, 49, has been coaching in the NFL since 2016; he’s been a part of the Eagles’ staff since 2021 and was also named assistant head coach under Nick Sirianni. Philly has fielded one of the league’s best running games in recent years and he could be a great influence on the Saints after working so well with Kellen Moore last year. His past experience includes stops with the Oakland Raiders under Jon Gruden and the Cincinnati Bengals under Zac Taylor.
So the candidates for offensive coordinator now include Singleton, Eagles quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier, and Miami Dolphins wide receivers coach Christian Parker. Atlanta Falcons tight ends coach Kevin Koger declined an interview request for the job.
