Weather delays Saints’ scheduled in-person head coach interviews

The Saints were supposed to meet with Mike Kafka, Aaron Glenn and Anthony Weaver on Tuesday and Wednesday but Mother Nature had other plans:

The New Orleans Saints were ready to start their round of in-person interviews, but weather has pushed their plans back to later this week, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

As things stood on Tuesday, Mike Kafka, Aaron Glenn and Anthony Weaver had scheduled interviews with New Orleans. Kafka was in line first for Tuesday, while Glenn and Weaver were scheduled for Wednesday. All of these have been pushed back due to the snow in New Orleans, but there’s no official date set yet.

This update doesn’t impact Mike McCarthy. His interview was already planned for later this week but without a specific date. If anything, this puts all the prospective coaches in the same boat.

Outside of Glenn, the Saints aren’t at risk of their other candidates taking a job before later this week. And frankly, the weather has no impact on Glenn’s decision either. If Glenn makes it out of New York without a deal completed on Tuesday, he will wait on the weather to clear up in New Orleans.

Texas men’s basketball game against Oklahoma rescheduled due to weather

The Longhorns and Sooners rematch has been delayed due to weather conditions.

The highly anticipated rematch between the No. 13 ranked Texas Longhorns and the No. 10 ranked Oklahoma Sooners has been rescheduled due to the harsh weather hitting the country. On top of that, the Longhorns matchup against Iowa State was also pushed back.

The news was first announced on the Texas Men’s Basketball Twitter account.

The Longhorns lost their first matchup against the Sooners back in January by one point, their first of a game losing streak. Since that game, the team’s play has been inconsistent and resulted in a 2-2 run in that time span. Shaka Smart’s squad wants to get back to playing the same as they did after they started the year 10-1.

It’s been undetermined yet if there will be any more delays in the schedule. With not only COVID-19 delaying games, but also the freeze, many postponed games might not be rescheduled in time for the conference championships and subsequent NCAA tournament. Stay tuned for updates to come.
