New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller, the 71st pick in the 2023 NFL Draft (third round), needs to impress in a big way this offseason. That is, if he plans to earn touches over the much more established players at his position like five-time Pro Bowl selection Alvin Kamara and the 2022 NFL leader in rushing touchdowns Jamaal Williams.

Fortunately for the rookie, the TCU Horned Frog has some experience outperforming such counterparts in big moments -- like when he outshined the 2023 NFL Draft's eighth overall pick, former Texas Longhorn and current Atlanta Falcon Bijan Robinson in college head-to-head. Miller totaled 138 rushing yards, 75 of which came on his lone rushing touchdown, on 21 carries in a 17-10 win in Austin against the Longhorns in prime time last November. Robinson had a season-low 29 yards on 12 carries, which prompted Miller to declare himself the best running back in the Big 12.

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints are currently the only NFL team without a head coach.

Eagles Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore is currently favored to become the Saints' next coach. Moore completed a virtual interview with the team on January 18.

Mickey Loomis and his search committee will interview Moore in Philadelphia this week.

For a few weeks now, the New Orleans Saints interest in former Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has been increasingly evident, and it continues to look like he will end up as a finalist for the teams head coaching job. There had been many reports during this time that McCarthy would be interviewing with the team some time in the near future, but up until today nothing had been planned between the two parties.

On Monday, we found that McCarthy and the Saints do have a plan in place for an interview that will take place at the end of the week. There aren’t any details on where this meeting will...

It doesn’t look like last week’s Joe Brady fiasco is repeating itself with Kellen Moore. The New Orleans Saints reportedly made plans to fly in to Philadelphia as soon as Monday after the Eagles offensive coordinator led his team to a blowout win over the division-rival Washington Commanders in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game. And on Monday they followed through on that expectation.

The plane, a 2014 Bombardier Challenger 300 licensed through Benson Football LLC and registered with the Federal Aviation Administration at N411ST, departed New Orleans’ Louis Armstrong International Airport on...

If Kellen Moore is going to coach the Saints, he must bring this assistant with him

  • News source: John Sigler

Kellen Moore shouldn’t be the only Philadelphia Eagles coach on the New Orleans Saints’ radar. If they’re serious about hiring him as their head coach, the Saints must make a strong effort to recruit Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland into becoming his top assistant.

There isn’t a better offensive line coach in the league than Stoutland, who has held that job since 2013. That’s through multiple regime changes and head coach firings, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a team which has done a better job drafting and developing offensive linemen than the Eagles over the last...

With the New Orleans Saints head coach search still in full force, the Saints have seen some recent changes to their current staff. This was expected since the end of the season, and it was understood that the Saints would allow all current staff members to look for other opportunities, no matter how much of a hit it would be to the team. Today, the Cincinnati Bengals announced that they have hired Saints linebackers coach Mike Hodges to be their next linebackers coach.

This is an expected move with a whole new staff coming in, but this is a significant hit to the defense. The linebacker...

Could Kellen Moore and Ashton Jeanty be the right combo for the Saints?

Many have speculated that there has to be a way to kickstart a New Orleans Saints rebuild by trying to begin replicating what the Philadelphia Eagles have on offense, specifically their explosive rushing attack built around Saquon Barkley.

To do so, the belief is that hiring Kellen Moore (who has lifted that same Eagles offense to new heights, and who the Saints are flying into Philadelphia to interview this week) and using their first-round pick on Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty could somewhat revitalize their ground attack and give Moore something to work with. However, would...

The New Orleans Saints traded star cornerback Marshon Lattimore to the Washington Commanders earlier this season. Now that the Commanders have been eliminated from the playoffs following their NFC Championship loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, we can take a look back at how both sides have fared in the deal.

Washington sent the Saints their 2025 NFL draft picks in the third, fourth and sixth rounds in exchange for Lattimore and a 2025 fifth-round selection.

It is not every day that a team trades away a fan-favorite, four-time Pro Bowler before they turn 30 and everyone is happy with the...

When the 2025 Pro Bowl Games rosters were announced back in early January, the New Orleans Saints didn’t have a single player make it to Orlando. No Alvin Kamara, no Demario Davis, no anybody, which wasn’t all that surprising when you consider how poorly the team played this season.

However, when the Philadelphia Eagles made the Super Bowl, their Pro Bowl center, Cam Jurgens, had to be replaced. Finally, the Saints got their first, and only, Pro Bowler of the year when Erik McCoy was named as Jurgens replacement. This is McCoy’s second career Pro Bowl nod, and he becomes the first Saints...

Last one out, turn off the lights. The New Orleans Saints have lost a few coaches to lateral moves around the league as they continue to search for a new head coach, who will want to build their own staff — most notably losing offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak to the Seattle Seahawks, where he’ll have the same position.

But here’s another departure. The Cincinnati Bengals announced Monday that they have hired longtime Saints linebackers coach Michael Hodges for the same role on Zac Taylor’s staff. Hodges had been on staff with New Orleans since 2017, and he’s highly regarded around the...
