Kellen Moore For Saints Head coach (edit: Byron Leftwich hired for Jags HC) (1 Viewer)

They did pile up a ton of yards and points but when they played against a defense with an actual pulse... they didn't do so well.

Payton got bounced by the 9ers too in 2011.

It happens.

I kinda think the 9era exploited two teams with weak TE matchups.

I've been pretty vocal about the saints taking Trey McBride in the draft anyway.

I'd give Allen a shot. Teams want to interview him and I'd hate to lose him too. Also Carmichael. They're our core.

Unlike some, I suspect SP might just need a hiatus. He's notorious for changing his mind. He's under contract for another 3 years. He has fleur de lis tattoos. The place and program are familiar.

So I say....

1) Give Allen a shot. If he succeeds, he's the guy.
2) Give Payton time off (and the potential of returning). He's under contract. He's highly paid. It could be favorable situation for fresh start with a program he's built. If it's still intact...

I don't want a new person to come in a gut this program. Or the 2023 salary cap.

I’m down with Allen taking over, but Payton ain’t never coming back.

I'm terrified that we'll be looked at as not being a good HC vacancy, our under contract roster on the O side of the ball is the stuff nightmares are made of for incoming offensive minded coaches.

There are definitely challenges. A defensive minded coach is probably going to be a lot more likely to see the potential with this roster.

Positives, though, we have a highly regarded front office and the Saints took great care of Payton during his tenure. Succeed here and you'll be rewarded.

We do have a thread discussing possible coaches.

BTW, McVay is way overrated, guy can't make adjustments during a game.

I know but I really have no interest in any other candidates but these two.

 

[MV2]

I want to stay in house and keep our system. Promote Allen, make Nielsen the DC, give Pete the OC reins and keep it moving.

This. It will help to keep some continuity.

 

[madsaint1967]

I'd take either one, tbh. We know they'd invest picks at the WR position.

With Payton gone we're not signing Armstead or MW, so our first 2 picks are probably OT and Safety

Listening to him speak, Moore sounds like a young SP to me.

 

[No2DC]

Moore is overrated

 

[NOFALCONS10]

Moore is overrated

#1 in yards and points says he isn't.

A visor, hair dye job and some juicy fruit we back in business.

 

[meily]

Kellon Moore, best recipe is to get a young guy and let him cook, like we did with Payton. 49ers, Rams, Bengals, GB have all followed that trend we started with Payton.

 

[No2DC]

#1 in yards and points says he isn't.

If that is the case give me Bienemy he's been under one of the best coaches in the league and he's a Louisiana guy.

 

[Saint Greg]

We do have a thread discussing possible coaches.

Imagine if everyone on that thread started their own thread.

 

[NewOrleansBoy]

I'm on the Kellen Moore train. Let's go.

Or EB

Or Daboll

Or Callahan

There’s something to say about failures and learning from them. I’m not saying grab guys who only lose. But someone who struggles and falls may learn and grow stronger from it.

Great example, if across a different sport, look at Monty Williams.
