Doug Nussmeier is Offensive Coordinator , Saints officially finalized hire per Underhill

I think the DA and Staley type hires have happened enough times to make teams wary of short term successful DCs. If Parker is the best choice, I want them to make that choice.

I'd be really curious to know why media leaks on the defensive side have been dead quiet compared to the offensive side. The team itself hasn't let out a single peep about anyone on the staff other than Moore. My guess is agents are leaking to the media and I wonder what Loomis thinks about that considering they've are historically tight lipped.

I'm sure most of it is agent leaks. I think the difference between Nuss and Staley is that Nuss has been with Moore for years so people knew he was almost certainly going to be his OC. Whereas Moore only worked with Staley for one year so the fit wasn't as obvious.

As far as Staley vs. Parker, I like the idea of the young up and comer, but Staley isn't old by any means and he was in Parker's position only a few years ago.

Anyway, I'm just going to have to trust that Moore knows which one is the best fit since he worked with both of them and he worked with Fangio for a year so hopefully Fangio gave him an idea of which would be the best option to run his defense. And it's Fangio's defense that Moore wants which I'm very happy to hear.
