Kellen Moore expected to be Saints coach

This is as good a comment to springboard off as any, but when asked about the nature of his pregame speech, Sirianni mentioned Pacino's speech in Any Given Sunday, said it was "awesome...but it don't work that way". Said his job isn't to inspire but rather to remind the players of what they already know, and said winning usually comes down to being the toughest, the most together, and the most detailed. I found that interesting in light of the discussions that have taken place on this board and what fans want to see in a coach, and relevant to how it depicts the culture Moore is a part of in Philly.

No doubt that I think we as Saints fans have become overly obsessed with having a vocal, in your face, "leader of men" type that hypes up the team as the HC. And I think it's because those were things that we could see that DA obviously lacked. But I think it was his lack of attention to detail, lack of offensive and defensive aggression, lack of ability to relate to the players on a personal level, and failure to correct the small errors that were his true downfall. If he did the rest maybe it wouldn't matter that he was not a dynamic personality?

Sirianni strikes me as the type that creates those personnel connections to players and is authentic with them. That earns him respect along with his knowledge of the game. I think you are right that is more than likely the approach Moore will take if he comes here.

In the end there are many ways to lead and being loud with a dynamic personality isn't the only one. Some of the great coaches were quiet, "smartest guy in the room" types, i.e. Bill Walsh, Belichick, Tom Landry, Mike Shanahan, etc. And we see it today in guys like O'Connel. Of course there are the dynamic guys like Dan Campbell.
