Kellen Moore expected to be Saints coach (89 Viewers)

[No2DC]

Yeah, the Brees years have turned many fans entitled. Could also be a generational thing. So many are used to Amazon prime and on demand watching they don’t know about just being patient and giving things a chance to simmer to let the flavors meld.

They also need to get off my lawn.

It's not generational. People who grew up poor don't want to return to being poor. We know what Filet and lobster taste like now, so eating beans every day or syrup sandwiches is no longer acceptable. Who does that?

 

[St. Widge]

IMO, I believe that was the Hangup with McCarthy. I bet there were I WANT IF ALL CLAUSE and Loomis wasn't willing to sell the Farm sorta speak.

That's what McCarty's people were saying to save face. The truth is that we just weren't that into him and it pissed him off that we wouldn't even give him an interview.

It is a generational thing but not in the way you might think.

Old Saints fans remember the pre-Payton and Brees era Saints.

It is 2025. It's been 19 years since the era of "aints". Nationally, the Saints are more successful to most young adults who watch football than the Cowboys.

A lot of people are simply not used to the Saints being a bad football team. Even outside of Saints forums, I saw countless comments from people who are fans of other teams going "the Saints used to be feared, what happened?"

A lot of people have simply forgotten what being a genuinely bad football team looked and felt like, and are desperate to get back to no longer having that feeling.

That’s an excellent point

That’s an excellent point

Oh, Not all of us have forgotten those days. Funny you bring this up. Excellent point btw. Watching the game last night, I made a comment about the naked Bootleg. Achie in my opinion was a master of it.

If he doesn't then he is an idiot.

Agreed

Interesting nuggets from Insiders.

Rapoport says deal can be announced tomorrow and some people on the new staff know they will be in New Orleans and are just waiting.

Garopolo says some coaches had a leap of faith, passing opportunities to work with Kellen Moore.

All of them command the job Moore did the last couple of weeks, preparing the Eagles and also building a staff.

We may have been waiting but we are going to have a rainfall of news.

 

[nakadish]

You guys really think Kellen Moore isn’t doing any work whatsoever as it relates to this job, all just because he hasn’t put pen to paper or had his media press conference yet?

Relax. I promise you this is one of the only things on his mind now that the game is over.

Losing prep time is a non-factor at this stage. The work isn’t not happening just because there hasn’t been a formal public rollout yet.

Actually, I think he's probably pretty drunk.

Exactly my point. Just because we couldn't see or get the intel, definitely does not mean things weren't being sorted out and setup behind the scenes. Prepping for your new job does not start the day you walk into the office. KM is not a rookie coach. He already knows how and what to prep.

One beautiful thing about the beat down the Eagles gave KC is now no one can claim that we distracted him or did anything improper. I'm sure the interviews got a bit annoying but it never got in the way of things.

He handled business better than Ben Johnson did.

 

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

I think he certainly has just as good of a chance of being successful as Ben Johnson, Coen, Schottenheimer, and Aaron Glenn. And maybe a better shot than some of them.

Statistically speakingy here’ the #’s.

7 new coaches hired in 2021 only 2 remain, Sirianni and Campbell. In 2020 it was 5, only Stefanski remains. In 2022 it was 10 and only 4( Daboll, O’Connell, McDaniel, Bowels) remain. Statistically speaking only 2 will be still employed in 3 years.



From 2020-2022, (22) coaches were hired. Only 7 coaches remain. Thats a 32% chance of hitting , 68% chance you get it wrong.



2025, 7 new head coaches, likely two will remain, possibly 3. Vrabel and Carrol are rehashes, gotta consider them favorites to still be employed based on history so that means only one of the new guys is likely to stick.

And, sometimes best situation means nothing.

Staley was voted as HC w/ best situation when he was hired by Chargers. It didn’t do diddly squat for him.

That means Ben Johnson isn’t a lock just because he picked best situation or is Moore in a worst situation for coming here.

I haven't been this excited since Drew was still playing. I hated the DA hire. I've hated the way the roster was managed while he was here and I hated that we couldn't develop any players for the last few years. I am so hopeful that the next era brings back respectability to the team and shrug off the attempt at becoming the Raiders that DA was doing.

I love this narrative.

as if we didn't develop Shaheed, Penning, Kool Aid, Turner, Werner, Adebo, McCoy and Ruiz in the past few years.

Look, I know it's easy to be POd the way things have gone, but there's no way you can discount injuries and the cap situation from your calculus.

We literally played guys who were delivering furniture as starters this year.

I was born in 1972 but didn’t really get into watching football until I was 5. In my house….it was Saints then Steelers because of my dad. He loved the Steelers of the 70s. I was privy to the late 70s and early 80s Saints. Archie was great at that. Those were the plays I remember most along with those side arm shovel passes.

 

[dtc]

Hendrickson had one good year and DA thought is was a fluke based purely on effort. That's why we didn't pay him.

That and we didn't have any money for a Mike LB with DD on the roster.

 

[El Caliente]

I would give anything to have a front office drafting and roster management like the Eagles.

In order to have success like the Eagles front office you need a GM like Loomis to take advantage of.
