Ian Rapoport reports that the Eagles quarterbacks coach will interview for the New Orleans offensive coordinator job.
The #Saints and new coach Kellen Moore are set to interview former #Chargers coach Brandon Staley for defensive coordinator today and #Eagles QBs coach Doug Nussmeier for offensive coordinator early this week, sources say.
Two of them top candidates.

Nussmeier has worked with Moore in Dallas and Los Angeles with the Cowboys, helping to develop Justin Herbert and Dak Prescott before that.
Nussmeier, a former NFL quarterback, was a fourth-round selection by the New Orleans Saints in the 1994 draft. Nussmeier found most of his success as a professional football player in Canada, where he was a Grey Cup champion with the British Columbia Lions in 2000.
Since his playing days ended, he has held various roles on coaching staffs in Canada, the college ranks, and the NFL and certainly could depart for personal reasons.
Nussmeier is the proud father of a potential 2026 first-round draft pick — as LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier stayed in school for his redshirt senior season rather than enter the 2025 NFL Draft, which makes him an option for any team that puts off finding its Quarterback of the Future for one year.
By joining the Saints’ coaching staff, Nussmeier would move closer to his two sons as Garrett begins his final season in Baton Rouge and younger son Colton continues his search for a college team.
