Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Pederson interviewed with the New Orleans Saints for their head coach opening on Sunday.

Pederson coached the Philadelphia Eagles for five seasons (2016-20) and finished with a 42-37-1 record. He famously led the team to their first-ever Super Bowl title in 2017 over the New England Patriots.
He also led the Eagles to the playoffs in 2018 and 2019 before being fired in 2020 after a 4-11-1 record.
Since then, Pederson has taken some time off but looks ready to get back into the game.
The NFL world is a bit mixed on if he’d be a good replacement for Sean Payton.

Payton decided to step away from football last week after he coached the Saints for 15 seasons. He finishes his tenure with a 152-89 record, plus won the Super Bowl in 2009 over the Indianapolis Colts.
This process looks to be just getting started with how many interviews the Saints have coming up.
