Kellen Moore expected to be Saints coach

He was looking out for himself. And he earned that right by winning a SB. Remember his first attempt was to leave to Miami with Tom Brady.

He had one before that he had essentially signed with the cowboys in 2019 as the rest of the city was still in shock over the Nola no call and dressing up as referees for Mardi Gras he was inking a deal to sign up with Jerry Jones. It’s only thanks to Anthony Davis demanding a trade from the Pelicans that he remained here.

Point being he had been looking for an exit for quite some time. This is a compleat guess and pure conjecture on my part but my theory is he foresaw what Patrick Mahomes was going to be and we were in position to make that happen but Sean Payton wanted to do everything possible to make it happen, as in move up and assure we got him. The Saints front office was content to roll along with Brees or perhaps make the pick where we were picking. The Chiefs and Andy Ried traded infront of us and the rest is history. I think from that day forward he was thinking about Brees aging and how he could find an exit.

My second theory is he loved being here as long as Tom Benson was here. Sean’s unchecked power and unlimited $$$ derived from Tom Benson. Once Mr. Benson died things got murky Mr. Dennis and other voices started to carry a little more weight. Sean didn’t like the new setup or he saw the writing on the wall and didn’t like where things were headed and wanted out.

Both theories are compleatly unsubstantiated conjecture by me. It in all likelihood could just be the man was tired of doing the same thing everyday and just wanted a change for changes sake.
