The Saints new Head Coach has finished putting together his offensive staff, unofficially of course.

Multiple position coaches getting hired today is a good thing. That probably means Moore has his staff.

Saw that this was on the table last night. Externally the Saints have made it known to the HC candidates that things aren't completed, internally they've let guys know that they won't be retained. Seems like Moore is all but a lock

Ha! I was just going to post that now that the Kubiak squad are gone, the Saints might keep Foster and WR coach Keith Williams because they didn't have ties to Klint. I guess we will see how much Moore has been planning this move.

Also feel like it tells us that Rizzi isn't plan B, but plan C.

Of course there's always the chance that Rizzi wants to build his own staff if he were to get the opportunity, but I feel like if we were a week away from knowing and Rizzi was our backup plan, they would be telling these guys to hold on another week potentially. Suggests that Kafka is our backup plan to Moore.

Yeah, I think an offensive minded coach would be ideal just because if you hire a coach like Rizzi, just like in Detroit if the team performs well you're replacing OC and DC almost routinely. It's not a recipe for success. There's a reason only the Ravens (outside of Lions) have abided by that model and that's because on defense no matter who the DC is they have a playbook that they school everyone in...so nothing truly changes on that side of the ball.

The Saints better pray that the Kellen Moore hire works out

Why? I mean I want it to, but all of this would be happening regardless. Unless our backup plan fell through too, which Rizzi is not and has not been our backup plan.

A whole new offensive and defensive staff will be coming in, we have offically started our post CSP era with the Saints.

Moore has his guys on stand by and we will be hearing about their hiring as soon as the SB ends and Moore officially takes the job.

Somebody need to come get Joe woods

Underhill says that Rizzi's plan was to build a new staff of veteran coaches that he has contact with and that at least Kubiak wasn't in the plans. Also sounds like the rest of the staff outside of Galliano and maybe a select few weren't in his plan either. So, unfortunately, I don't think this means Rizzi isn't plan B.

Funny how the speculation can go in so many directions with one move

Interesting that these departures are all happening at the same time. Seems like these guys may have all been forced to hold off on leaving for their new positions until now.

Three happening in one morning all at once seems like more than a coincidence. Instead it’s more likely to me that the pen-stroke letting them out of their contracts happened all at once…and it just so happened to occur at a time when Moore is in the city and working in our facilities.

Pretty sure it mostly happened that way when they all came here. Part of it is probably all of them agreeing to contracts with Seattle which may have been done at more or less the same time.
