Six of the seven head-coaching openings are filled. One remains, in New Orleans.

That lingering vacancy, which by all appearances is being held for Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, has prompted some to argue that the Saints’ job is the least appealing from the current cycle.

It’s not.

Do the Saints have short-term challenges? Yes. So do the other teams that fired their coaches. Rarely does a great job with a great team pop open. Owners fire coaches because their teams aren’t good. Even if, as Bill Belichick argues, it’s about the players not the coaches, the coach of a group of bad players takes the fall.

The most common immediate concerns about the Saints are: (1) salary-cap challenges; and (2) quarterback situation.

The Saints always have cap issues. And G.M. Mickey Loomis and his staff always find a way to solve them. Yes, they’ll have to slash roughly $50 million from a roughly $275 million spending limit for 2025. They’ll restructure some deals. They’ll cut some players. They’ll make it work. ...

2024 Saints free agent report cards: Was letting Zack Baun go a big loss?

The NFL offseason and free agency are almost upon us, and with that, we wait in anticipation for the New Orleans Saints to make a head coaching hire to kick things off. After a brutal 5-12 campaign in 2024, there are many ways to distribute the blame amongst the organization. One of the notable issues for the Saints the past few seasons has been letting players walk who they mismanaged, and then they turned out to be good shortly after.

One such player is linebacker Zack Baun, who the Saints let walk in the 2024 offseason, as he would move on to the now Super Bowl bound Philadelphia...

Kellen Moore is expected to transition from offensive coordinator to head coach by this time next week. Moore had media availability in preparation for the Philadelphia Eagles appearance in Super Bowl LIX. Of course, his pending promotion was a topic of conversation.

Moore laid out what he believes it takes to to be a good head coach, and it’s probably a summarized version of what he told the New Orleans Saints. Moore told reporters at Monday night’s Super Bowl LIX media night, “You got to lead the group, you got to be an expert in some capacity You got to be able communicate at a really...

How’ this for a blast from the past? Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio fielded questions from the media on Monday night at Super Bowl LIX media availability, and some of those queries came from an old friend. Fangio chopped it up with Bobby Hebert, who was making the rounds while working for WWL Radio.

Fangio’s big NFL break came as the New Orleans Saints’ linebackers coach from 1986 to 1994, where he worked with the legendary “Dome Patrol” defense: Pro Football Hall of Famers Rickey Jackson and Sam Mills, plus their great teammates Vaughan Johnson and Pat Swilling...

It’s tough to talk about the state of the New Orleans Saints without mentioning their salary cap outlook. Years of short-term gambles and ill-advised investments have caught up with them, and now they’re in the hole by as much as $70 million — depending on where you check, that number could be closer to $54 million. We’ll know for sure once the NFL announces this year’s spending limit in a few weeks.

Saints interim coach lumped into a group of the coaching cycle's losers

The New Orleans Saints have yet to finalize a deal with Kellen Moore to be the next head coach, but the only impediment is waiting for Moore’s season to be over.

That would mean the Saints would pass over Darren Rizzi and no interim coaches will be retained.

The Saints, New York Jets and Chicago Bears all fired their coach midseason and went outside of the building for their newest head coach.

Bleacher Report’s Maurice Moton called interim head coaches one of the coaching cycle’s biggest losers. He believes Antonio Pierce’s quick departure from the Las Vegas Raiders could have played a...

The New Orleans Saints have desperately needed an influx of talent along the defensive line for a few seasons now, and despite their attempts to fix that through the draft vis-à-vis the selections of Payton Turner and Isaiah Foskey, it has not panned out how they expected.

In the 2024 offseason, they tried at a different method of adding talent, signing defensive end Chase Young to a one-year deal. With him coming off a neck injury and requiring surgery to get back to where he needed to be, the Saints took the shot on him with a short contract.

With the 2025 offseason nearly upon us, we...

Saints involved in two trade proposals that would reshape the NFL

Rebuilds typically lead to an exodus of veteran players as the team gets younger. As the New Orleans Saints begin their rebuild, reload or whatever they want to call it, they too will get younger.

Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport saw two Saints veterans as bargaining chips. He cooked up six trades that could reshape the league, and New Orleans was involved with two of them. Davenport had the Saints sending two players to the AFC North: Derek Carr to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tyrann Mathieu to the Baltimore Ravens.

Carr to the Steelers would probably make the fans in black and yellow...
