Kellen Moore's staff continues to be very intriguing, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. In the past week, New Orleans named Brandon Staley as their defensive coordinator and hired Terry Joseph to be their defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator.

As for Peter Sirmon, who just turned 48, he's been a coach in college since 2008 when he got his start with Central Washington as a linebackers coach. He's been with Cal since 2018, and had stops along the way in Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, USC, Mississippi State and USC. You could say the linebacker room is in his DNA. ...

The New Orleans Saints coaching staff is nearly complete, but the defensive side still needs some roles to be filled. Yesterday, the Saints hired Texas assistant head coach/defensive pass game coordinator Terry Joseph to become the team’s defensive pass game coordinator.

The New Orleans Saints are hiring California Golden Bears defensive coordinator Peter Sirmon to come work as their new linebackers coach, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel. He’s another new arrival with few connections to the old Sean Payton-Dennis Allen regime, and will work as a position coach under defensive coordinator Brandon Staley.

Sirmon, 48, was a fourth-round pick by the Tennessee Titans back in 2000 and played for them until 2006. A former linebacker himself, he’s continued to coach that position at a number of college stops over the years — he overlapped with Terry Joseph, the Saints’...

Alontae Taylor spent time with the athletes at the HBCU Legacy Bowl over the course of the week and reflected on his experience with New Orleans Saints team reporter Erin Summers.

The Saints defensive back is in the position these prospects are aiming to be in, so he’s more than qualified to give them advice.

Prior to the practices for the all star game, the players went through the HBCU Combine. Alabama A&M offensive tackle Carson Vinson was the only HBCU player invited to the NFL Scouting Combine this year. This event allowed more HBCU players to go through the process in front of all...

The 2025 NFL draft is growing ever nearer, and with a new head coach for the New Orleans Saints, things have become even more interesting when it comes to predicting their draft needs. As Kellen Moore begins to build his coaching staff, and eventually his roster through free agency, he will have decisions to make on who to allow to depart and replace with draft prospects.

With Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Media recently completing his yearly pre-combine conference call discussing this year’s top prospects, we figured we would take a look at what he had to say regarding the prospects many Saints fans have been calling for in recent weeks. Keep in mind there are some left out due to them not being discussed, the four listed are some of the most common players of intrigue lately, however. Some of them have been popular picks in fan-driven mock drafts, others look like shoo-in picks for Kellen Moore and Co. to build around.

With that said, here is what Jeremiah had for analysis on some of the top prospects Saints fans have linked to their team.

When it comes time to narrow down prospects for the 2025 NFL draft, Joseph could provide some key insight on a couple of top prospects that would make sense as targets for the Saints. He’s had hands-on experience coaching several Longhorns defensive...
