Prince

Prince has held the position of wide receivers coach across three teams since 2021. He has bounced between the college and pro ranks for over 30 years. Prince has received multiple offensive coordinator interviews over the years but has never filled that role for an NFL team. As USA Today’s Art Stapleton notes, Prince could be hired by the Giants in another role, even if they go in a different direction at OC.

Prince was hired less than a month ago as the Dolphins WR coach but could once again be on the move. Prince spent one season with Moore and the Cowboys (2022) and first joined the NFL ranks in 2004 as an offensive assistant for the Falcons. His last offensive coordinator came at Boise State (2012 to 2013), but most of his work has been as a receivers coach. Prince, along with Eagles’ QB coach Doug Nussmeier, are two early candidates to land the Saints’ OC vacancy, with Nussmeier expected to speak to the team early this week.

Prince held the same role with the Cowboys over the last three seasons but evidently sought warmer waters with Mike McCarthy no longer at the helm. Prince’s coaching career includes 13 teams over 35 years at both the college and pro level.

Prince is yet another coach who has already jumped teams once this offseason, leaping from the Texans to the Cowboys. The long-time NFL wideouts coach has not been an offensive coordinator since a spell at Boise State in 2012-2013, and was acting Lions head coach for a COVID-ravaged 47-7 loss to Tampa in 2020. The offensive coaches that Dennis Allen has sought out so far have been fairly off-the-map between Prince, Doug Marrone, and John Morton.
