The Atlanta Falcons failed to clinch an NFC South title last season, but at least they finished ahead of the New Orleans Saints in the standings. The Falcons appear to have gotten another win over their rivals on Valentine’s Day.
According to a report from CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, tight ends coach Kevin Koger has declined a request to interview for the Saints’ offensive coordinator vacancy. However, Koger did recently interview with the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns for their offensive coordinator vacancies.

Koger joined Raheem Morris’ staff in 2024 after spending three seasons as the tight ends coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.
With Kellen Moore officially taking over as head coach, New Orleans is looking to fill out the rest of its staff. Moore, a former NFL QB, is fresh off calling a Super Bowl win as the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles.
It’s unclear why Koger declined the interview but the Saints are expected to retain Derek Carr as their starting quarterback.
