Saints expected to hire Kellen Moore as head coach

Brandon Staley makes most sense. Not only becuase they were on a staff together but, the failed HC route at DC tends to be a safer pick for 1st time offensive minded coaches. It affords some stability in that they are unlikely to get poached after 2 years of good defense. Conversely the first DC tends to be hit or miss for most, DC will be his most important hire.

Once again, couldn't agree more. Trying to give you 7% disagreement, but just can't muster the number that high, LOL!

If Kellen is the new HC, and if he IS indeed who we think/hope he is, then his 1st HC tenure is likely to be defined by his choice of DC. Let's assume it's NOT Staley....who else has he worked with in Dallas/SD/Philly that might be ready for a promotion to DC? I honestly don't know...

Let's assume it IS Staley. What do we know about him? Coaching tree...preferred scheme...underlings he might prefer and bring with him, etc...?
