Kellen Moore expected to be Saints coach (65 Viewers)

[Hubig]

The Philly parade is on Friday. I wonder how long it'll be until the presser.

I just can’t get excited about Staley. He never did turn that Chargers defense around in three years, and the 49ers basically had him in house for two years and hired two other DC’s instead to run their defense.

I’m hoping Staley is the guy, but this is a valid point. What did Staley have to work with in 2020? Brockers and Donald helps but besides those guys his D wasn’t loaded with names. But I could be missing some

Leonard Floyd and Jalen Ramsey.

Most likely tomorrow and Moore most likely already have his staff in place

Well what you can be excited with is Kellen Moore worked first hand with him and knows better than you as to the quality of defensive mind and coach Staley is.

I am so ready to move on to Moore and the new regime.

Haven’t the Saints told the sports media Moore’s hiring will be announced “later this week”? Don’t get me wrong the sooner the better but now it’s just a formality. Eagles owner Jeffery Lurie said the team will be looking for a new OC. So I doubt an announcement will happen today but if it does great.

I’m pretty sure Moore has his Coordinators set. He was making calls and talking to potential coaches before the Super Bowl. After the announcement we should quickly hear of multiple hirings.

Eagles fans are extremely unhappy. A few want Saints draft picks for “tampering”. The funniest (and saddest) forum post I read was that they would be willing to forgo the tampering charges if the Saints would guarantee that Mickey Loomis would accept every future phone call from Howie Roseman.

To me the thing with Rizzi is that, although I didn't like him throwing a hissy fit at Hayball while others messed up on the same play and he didn't do that to other guys making mistakes, there is more than one way to lead and maybe his way works. But, even if he is a good leader, he showed a lack of knowledge of the rules on more than one occasion and even argued with the refs when he was just wrong about the rules. I just don't think you should be a head coach in the NFL if you don't know the ins and outs of all of the rules. And the fact that he didn't tells me that he's not ready to be a HC.

And that ignores that it's really hard to have to keep both a good OC and a good DC because your HC is a special teams guy. It can work, Harbaugh, but it's a higher degree of difficulty.

Agree 100%. I could not support him as a HC for this reason. I would love him back as a ST coach, but that does not appear it will happen.

He misses home. He doesn't like to see what he built get this low.

He's also probably tired of answering questions about the Saints. He last coached here in 2021, how many other coaches get asked about their former teams 3 full seasons later?

I don't recall anyone reporting that the Saints said that. There is speculation that it will be announced this week unless it unexpectedly blows up, but that's just kind of logical with the Super Bowl over and everyone knowing Moore is our choice.

As far as other hires, they will have to do the Rooney Rule interviews before any OC, QB Coach, or DC is hired so that might take another week or so. But we could hear about some position coaches before them and there will be "rumors" about the other coordinator jobs and QB coach.

And Mickey unfortunately already appears to take every call Roseman makes to him.

Tuesday or Wednesday. We need to jump on Offensive and Defensive Coordinators.

What other teams have OC or DC positions to fill?

 

[Madmarsha]

We used it as a derogatory word.

Tome?

Prediction, strong hunch, just connecting the dots, or ”cant say how I know”?

Just trying to decide my ratio of excitement vs patience!
