Saints interview one of their remaining assistants for vacant offensive coordinator spot
New Orleans Saints quarterback coach Ronald Curry has interviewed for the team’s vacant offensive coordinator position, according to Luke Johnson of Nola.com. Curry is one of the few remaining holdovers on the offensive staff after several moves last week.
Pete Carmichael was removed as offensive coordinator after 18 years on the staff. Running Back coach Joel Thomas departed to accept the same position with the New York Giants, while the contracts of WR coach Kodi Burns and senior offensive assistant Bob Bicknell were also terminated.
Since those moves, the Saints have set up interviews with Bengals QB coach Dan Pitcher, Rams QB coach Zac Robinson, Texans QB coach Jerrod Johnson, former Seahawks offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, 49ers passing game coordinator Klint Kubiak, and 49ers QB coach Brian Griese. Only Waldron is out of play, having accepted a position with the Chicago Bears on Monday.
Curry, 44, has been on the New Orleans staff since 2016. He was first brought in as a general offensive assistant, then promoted to WR coach in 2018. Since 2021, Curry has been the team’s quarterback coach. Prior to joining the Saints, he was an assistant with the San Francisco 49ers in 2014 and 2015.
A quarterback at North Carolina, Curry was a seventh-round choice by the Oakland Raiders in the 2002 NFL Draft and was converted to a wide receiver. Over a seven year NFL career, all with the Raiders, Curry had 193 receptions for 2,347 yards and 13 touchdowns.
