Saints Request To Interview Daronte Jones For Defensive-Coordinator Job
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the New Orleans Saints have requested to interview Minnesota Vikings passing-game coordinator/defensive backs coach Daronte Jones for their defensive-coordinator position, according to sources. Jones has been a busy man on the defensive-coordinator interview circuit this cycle and will now visit with the Saints after they hired Kellen Moore to be their next head coach this week. It was reported earlier this week that San Francisco 49ers assistant coach and former Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley is the front-runner to become the Saints' next defensive coordinator. Jones first worked with the Vikings in 2020 and then returned to Minnesota in 2022 after spending a year at LSU. He has also coached with the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins. A big priority for the Saints in 2025 will be improving their defense.
