Saints bringing an accomplished veteran coach in Scott Linehan to Kellen Moore's staff.

By Bob Rose - Athlon Sports

The New Orleans Saints are bringing an accomplished and experienced coach onto their offensive staff.

Nick Underhill of neworleans.football was the first to report that Scott Linehan will be joining the New Orleans staff on Monday. Linehan, 61, had spent this past season as an offensive analyst at the University of Montana.

Prior to Montana, Linehan was an offensive analyst at the University of Missouri for three seasons. There, he was paired with Missouri offensive coordinator Kirby Moore, younger brother of new Saints head coach Kellen Moore.

The New Orleans Saints are hiring the University of Montana offensive analyst Scott Linehan, per a report by Nick Underhill.

Linehan, 61, began his coaching career in high school in 1987 before moving to college coaching in 1989 at the University of Idaho. Linehan wouldn’t begin coaching in the NFL until 2002 when he joined the Minnesota Vikings staff as the offensive coordinator. He would later have stints with the Miami Dolphins, St. Louis Rams, Detroit Lions, and the Dallas Cowboys.

Linehan mentored Kellen Moore when he was signed as an undrafted player for the Lions. He was later...

The New Orleans Saints have hired former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive backs coach Grady Brown, according to Matt Zenitz of 247sports. His title with the team is still to be determined. Brown had interviewed for the Atlanta Falcons’ vacant defensive coordinator position this offseason before they ultimately chose former New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich.

It became apparent that Brown would not be returning to the Steelers when they announced the hiring of Gerald Alexander as their new DB coach. During Brown’s four-year stint, Pittsburgh posted a 38-29-1 record while the...

Why WR Dont’e Thorton should be looked at by the Saints

Dont’e Thornton, a wide receiver out of Tennessee, had an impressive day at the NFL Combine and because of his performance, I think the New Orleans Saints should think about drafting him this April.

Standing at 6’5’’, his 40-yard dash of 4.30 stands out. And according to NFL Draft Files, this speed is nothing new. Thornton also had a vertical jump of 33” and a broad jump of 10’6’’, with a relative athletic score of 9.80.

In 2024, his best season of college football, Thornton had 26 receptions for 662 yards and six touchdowns. His best game was against Oklahoma, where he had two...

Two NFL Draft prospects that had their stock affected by Combine measurements

Most of the outside focus of the NFL Combine is on the 40-yard dash to see who runs the fastest. For some positions, this drill is essential. For others, different drills are a focus of many scouts. One aspect of the Combine is important no matter what: The measurements. Every prospect participating in the combine gets their height, weight, arm length, hand size, and wing span measured. Having the ideal measurements is something teams value higher than most categories, and it can affect draft stock if a prospect has surprising or disappointing measurements. It happens every year, and...
