Next week will be a pivotal one for the New Orleans Saints franchise.

By Kyle T. Mosely - Saints News Network | SI

"We've gotten it right before," New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis told a reporter in his year-end media session. To bring clarity, that was nearly two decades ago when the franchise hired a confident and youthful Sean Payton. Indeed, he did not refer to Dennis Allen, although he stated, "I don't regret" his hiring.

Saints fans don't want regrets, either. Most are watching as the front offices of the Patriots, Bears, Jets, Jaguars, Raiders, and Cowboys were decisive in terms of hiring a new head coach.

Tonight, New Orleans is the last franchise standing without a new head coach.

Mike Vrabel. Ben Johnson. Aaron Glenn. Liam Coen. Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer went through a battery of interviews, and respective team executives were decisive in their hiring. ...

B/R defines the Saints by their bleak offseason outlook, but how bad is it?

Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon summed up every team’s future in just one sentence. The summary for the New Orleans Saints was a bleak outlook of what the next head coach is stepping into.

When breaking it down, these are the immediate reasons the job has been looked at poorly. They’re also the obstacles the next head coach will have to deal with. Whether it’s Kellen Moore, Mike McCarthy, Anthony Weaver, Darren Rizzi or Mike Kafka, all of them will have to find a solution for the cap and deal with aging players in at least Year 1. Right now, signs point to Moore taking the job after Super...

B/R lists Saints as 'team to watch' for Chiefs RB in free agency

The New Orleans Saints desperately need more help at running back next year and will need to find it for cheap. Could they target a player that will be playing in the Super Bowl in just a couple of weeks?

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox recently surveyed the running back market ahead of free agency and tried to pair some of the top players with new teams. The Saints were listed as one of the teams to watch for Kansas City Chiefs veteran Kareem Hunt. This was his reasoning:

It is clear that Hunt is no longer the Pro Bowl back that he used to be at the outset of his career, his rookie...

Saints learned from Cardinals' tampering mistake with Eagles head coach candidate

If the Philadelphia Eagles lose offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to the New Orleans Saints, it will be the second time they’ve lost their offensive coordinator in three seasons. It’s happened after both of their Super Bowl appearances. Coincidentally, they will have lost their play caller to the host city’s team both times as well.

After losing to the Kansas City Chiefs, defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon stayed in Phoenix to coach the Arizona Cardinals. Kellen Moore could have a similar fate in New Orleans.

And the Saints are taking every precaution to not have the same fate as the...

Report: Eagles 'bracing to lose' OC Kellen Moore after Super Bowl

The New Orleans Saints have had a clear frontrunner for their head coaching vacancy the past few days, Kellen Moore. That sentiment has only grown stronger as it was reported that they will meet again after Super Bowl LIX, with general manager Mickey Loomis informing other candidates that’s when the decision will be made. NFL rules prohibit the Saints from hiring anyone on a staff competing in the Super Bowl — like Moore — until after the title game.

In a recent ESPN article discussing the Senior Bowl rumor mill and some of the information moving around there, NFL insider Jeremy Fowler...

Earlier this week, we asked readers what the New Orleans Saints’ biggest roster need is right now. 37% of voters that said it was defensive end. Coming in 2nd with 28% of the votes was guard, followed by 22% for other and 13% for wide receiver.

Once the Saints complete their search for a new head coach, the immediate focus will turn to hiring new assistants and coordinators, who will then have the task of evaluating the team’s roster. The Saints will have a lot of decisions to make this off-season as they currently have 19 players who will become free agents, including Chase Young, Tanoh...

Cowboys hired a coach Kellen Moore may have been eyeing for Saints

The New Orleans Saints seem to be nearing a decision on their next head coach with Kellen Moore being the heavy favorite, but now that opens them up to even more competition to fill out a staff. And with Moore unable to sign a contract or communicate with the Saints until after Super Bowl LIX, other teams are jostling for potential assistants on his staff.

Just over a week ago, the Dallas Cowboys decided to promote Brian Schottenheimer from their offensive coordinator position to their head coach spot. Schottenheimer then hired Arizona Cardinals offensive line coach Klayton Adams to be...

A big controversy during the season, and the playoffs specifically, has been hits to the quarterback when running. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the benefactor of a controversial unnecessary roughness penalty that could lead to a rule change this offseason.

The quarterback is going to be protected by the NFL, and we all know that. The increase of mobile quarterbacks has extended that protection outside of the pocket. While there’s nothing wrong with protecting players, quarterbacks tend to receive a level of protection that is compromising to defenders.

The New Orleans Saints are the only remaining coaching vacancy in the NFL, and the longer that remains the truth, the more obvious the selection. The Saints conducted their final interview on Monday when they flew to Philadelphia to meet with Kellen Moore.

Moore is the clear frontrunner for the job at this point, but the Saints can’t officially announce him as the head coach until after Super Bowl LIX since the Philadelphia Eagles are participating. That means they must wait until Monday, Feb. 10 to make it official.

If the Saints go into next week without a head coach, it’s a very safe...

Drew Brees may not play for the New Orleans Saints any longer, but he is still deeply invested in the success of the team. ESPN’s Adam Schefter asked if Brees would join the Saints again in an official capacity.

Brees responded, “I don’t know, we’ll see,” as a smile began to grace his face. “It’s in my blood, it always will be. And so whether it’s direct or indirect, yes I will always say ‘we,’ that’s my team, our team, I just take so much pride in what we built and what we accomplished.”

Here’s the thing, though. Brees still has relationships with people in the building, so his opinion...

Reggie Bush made his name as one of the most electrifying college football players of all time at University of Southern California before being drafted by the New Orleans Saints. Bush is now looking to make his return to his alma mater but as a head coach.

There’s precedent for his hope.

The New Orleans Saints waited years for Juwan Johnson to break out to become the star tight end they needed him to be. While he never really worked out with them, could he be on his way to a big pay day simply because of a weak market in free agency?

Pro Football Focus recently released their ranking of every tight end available this offseason and Juwan Johnson took the top spot. The players listed behind him are Mike Gesicki of the Cincinnati Bengals and Tyler Conklin from the New York Jets.

Johnson would not be viewed as the best player in every free agent class, but this certainly...

Here’s the big tell everyone was waiting for. Darren Rizzi appears to have his next job lined up after working as the New Orleans Saints interim head coach this season — NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Rizzi “is likely to become the new Broncos special teams coordinator.” Rizzi was brought to the Saints by Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton when he was running the operation in New Orleans, so it makes sense he would partner up again with Rizzi when given the chance.

Of course it isn’t as simple as Rizzi swapping his Saints hat for a Broncos cap and getting on a flight to Denver...
