The New Orleans Saints' search for their next head coach led to conflicting reports Monday that former Stanford head coach David Shaw is a candidate. NFL Network reported that Shaw is interviewing for the post, while multiple media outlets said otherwise. New Orleans fired Dennis Allen after Week 9 and promoted Darren Rizzi to interim head coach. The team went 3-5 the rest of the way to finish 5-12. The Athletic reported on Saturday that Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, a former head coach of the Chicago Bears, is expected to receive interest from the Saints. Shaw, 52, has no NFL head coaching experience and since last June has been a senior personnel executive with the Denver Broncos. At Stanford from 2011-22, Shaw became the only four-time Pac-12 Conference Coach of the Year. The winningest coach in school history compiled a 96-54 record (.640) with the Cardinal that included eight straight bowl appearances from 2011-18 and two Rose Bowl victories in the 2012 and 2015 seasons. Shaw's NFL experience includes quarterbacks and wide receivers coach with the Baltimore Ravens from 2002-04, WR coach in 2005 and QB coach with the Oakland Raiders in 2001. He also was an offensive quality control coach with the Philadelphia Eagles (1997) and Raiders (1998-2000). --Field Level Media
