Closer look at Kellen Moore in the NFCCG today

[Saintcd]

How are we supposed to build being $50 million over cap this year and once we get under cap. Be over 2026 cap too.

This is an entirely unique position that any NFL team has been in... And frankly... You don't have 5 years to rebuild the team and then go for a franchise QB.

This is an entirely unique position that loomis single handedly put the next coach in. He should not be in the draft room at this point or even a GM, but we know that isn’t going to happen. They should find a partner to trade down, let the new coach see if he wants to do with the o and d line. When players leave the saints, the become pro bowl players, he may see something in them to keep.

[Kellen Moore] has a great offensive mind and can adapt based on personnel.

This is huge, part and parcel of being able to maximize a team's talent game to game. Sometimes injury, sometimes circumstance, but a team is not always going to have their very best 11 available every game (as Saints fans well know).

Why would he take this job?

Fully agree on trading down. Preferably to a team with multiple 2nds and 3rds. There might be more value there than at 9 and if we can get several picks that would go a long way to building the roster on the cheap.

Sirianni is the puppet master for that show to me

He was going to be run out of town last year. Short memory.

 

[St. Widge]

Why would he take this job?

Because he thinks it's a better job than you do?

Maybe he won't take it. But if he's going to interview in person, a day or so after his team got to the Super Bowl, he must think we have at least something worth listening to.

I like Rizzi because the players like Rizzi. Not some of them, but most, if not all of the players like him. They are bought in. You cannot discount the importance of such. I don't care if he is a special teams coach, any veteran coach in the NFL fully understands the X's and O's across the board, Plus, I think he's likely better at player evaluation, as a little birdy told me that Rizzo and Galiano are the two that spotted and brought in Shaheed, for example.

I do not particularly like the current list of candidates that the Saints have shown us. None of the candidates make me say... "Yeah! Let's get that guy!" If I had to pick one, it would probably be McCarthy, and I wouldn't be excited about that pick either.

I would probably go with Rizzi, as this is likely going to be a transition season with significant player turnover anyway, at least you maintain a cohesive locker room and possibly keep valued assistant coaches, as for example, I want to see more of coaches like Kubiak, Galiano, et al. if it doesn't work out you can always let Rizzi go and hire someone else after next season when the Saints will be in a more attractive position cap wise, and there may be better options in the coaching market.

REBELMAX... as always, appreciate the insight!

Ok! Belay the bolded part to exclude Kellen Moore. He's grown on me over the past few hours.

Same here. And I usually cringe at those who are influenced by a single recent game.

Time will tell.

 

[SuperSaint]

Until they reorder the FO and put somebody at the helm who isn't close to 70 and thinks we drafted well the last six years, it won't matter.

They'll screw it up.

Yes, I'm black-pilled.

Moore gets another boost. The Eagles offensive line. If he can bring that mindset to the Saints, that would be awesome. Becton who I posted about last year as an option for us, is mauling guys. I love their O-line. I can see Fuaga and Penning being building blocks for an O-line like that.

Moore has nothing to do with Philly's OL. That's all Stoutland. He's the best OL coach in the league and has been for a few yrs. He's not going anywhere
Sorry to say but I'll bet Kubiak takes a Benton and Dennison with him to Sea.

There are a few posters who I pay attention to what they say and post, TCUDan and REBELMAX are two of them.

REBELMAX Said that he thinks McCarthy is the frontrunner. He said that MM has lobbied for the job

 

[DSnfla]

Yep and it was for the same reasons. MM thought that Moore was throwing the ball too much and it was wearing out the defense. Clearly Moore has corrected that in Philly.

Moore would be an idiot not to ride Barkley with that OL. Hurts is not even as good a passer as Dak. . I still think it's MM's job

 

[DSnfla]

With Moore emerging as the perceived front runner, it makes me wonder if MM was ever really an option now that there are rumblings that he plans to sit this cycle out and take a year off. The discussion with MM, could have been part of the information gathering/vetting process for Moore.

Where is this idea that Moore is the front runner ? Just because they might go to Philly to interview him?
I think it's still MM's job unless Moore just wows them .
These rumblings you talking about go against what REBELMAX has said that MM has been pushing for the job through all the back channels
