METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Kellen Moore figures his upbringing as a coach’s son outweighs any concerns about his relative youth as he begins his first NFL head coaching job with the New Orleans Saints.

“Everyone likes to say it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert,” the 36-year-old Moore said during his formal introduction at team headquarters on Thursday.

“I’ve been preparing for this my entire life,” added Moore, who became the NFL’s youngest head coach on Tuesday. “I feel ready.”

Moore is less than a week removed from winning a Super Bowl as the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive coordinator. Now he takes over a Saints franchise that hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2020, the final campaign of record-setting quarterback Drew Brees’ career.

For the past two seasons, the Saints quarterback has been Derek Carr, who is 14-13 as a starter with New Orleans and has two years left on his contract. ...

Here’s a cool story. Kellen Moore coached with Chase Haslett on the Dallas Cowboys, and now they’re together again on the New Orleans Saints — the team Haslett’s father led to their first-ever playoff win. Jim Haslett’s son has gone on to put together a fine career for himself as an NFL coach, and NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports he and the Saints have reached an agreement on a deal making him their new tight ends coach.

Haslett, 32, is seen as a coach on the rise. He began his coaching career with the Cowboys as an offensive quality coach back in 2020, and was promoted to assistant...

Kellen Moore has only been on the job for a few days, but he’s already busy building his New Orleans Saints coaching staff. Moore chose to retain a respected position coach in Keith Williams, who works with the wide receivers, while also bringing back former Saints offensive line coach Brendan Nugent (who he worked with on the Los Angeles Chargers). And he’s just getting started.

We’ll keep tabs on all of the Saints coaching hires as they’re reported in the days and weeks ahead. Moore did have to get a bit of a late start on the process after guiding the Philadelphia Eagles to a blowout win in Super Bowl LIX, so it’ll be interesting to see how he chooses to fill out his staff with other options off the market.

The New Orleans Saints previously signed nine of their practice squad players to reserve/future deals, looking to keep them for at least training camp. However, one more player has been added to that list recently, as a fan favorite and Louisiana native running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has also been signed to a reserve/future deal as well.

Edwards-Helaire joined the Saints late in the 2024 season as they were dealing with various running back injuries, and was viewed as a good depth option to come in and get some of the excess playing time, trying to wrap up the season. However he...

Kellen Moore shared a lot of information in his introductory press conference as head coach of the New Orleans Saints. Some of what he said wasn’t as interesting as what he withheld, like his vision for the defensive scheme and the future of players like Derek Carr.
