Kellen Moore most likely to be Saints coach; Saints meeting Moore again after Super Bowl, Kellen Moore has begun working on assembling staff (159 Viewers)

Brandon Staley makes most sense. Not only becuase they were on a staff together but, the failed HC route at DC tends to be a safer pick for 1st time offensive minded coaches. It affords some stability in that they are unlikely to get poached after 2 years of good defense. Conversely the first DC tends to be hit or miss for most, DC will be his most important hire.

I would be happy with Staley.
I will be even happier when the Super Bowl is over and all of this is put into motion!

Watch us go off the reservation and hire someone off the wall like Rex Ryan.

Once again, couldn't agree more. Trying to give you 7% disagreement, but just can't muster the number that high, LOL!

If Kellen is the new HC, and if he IS indeed who we think/hope he is, then his 1st HC tenure is likely to be defined by his choice of DC. Let's assume it's NOT Staley....who else has he worked with in Dallas/SD/Philly that might be ready for a promotion to DC? I honestly don't know...

Let's assume it IS Staley. What do we know about him? Coaching tree...preferred scheme...underlings he might prefer and bring with him, etc...?

Now we only have to draft an Aaron Donald clone.
After a little more reading, it sounds like Jalen Ramsey was just as important to his D.

It’s done man. He knows it, the players know it. They just don’t want the distraction before the most important game of their lives.

Staley is a Vic Fangio guy. Mostly likely would run a 3-4 base but be multiple in similar ways to how Fangio is in Philly.

 

[Mr. Coach Klein]

He's a straight shooter and not at all controversial. What you're hearing from him now isn't controversial either, it's just not pleasant to hear about your favorite team.

Nothing against him, but his podcast plays like it's produced by the Saints PR department.

i like the sound of that! I'm a huge Fangio fan and wanted him as DC for B&G 2(?) seasons ago when we were re-shuffling our defensive hierarchy (co-DCs...under a defensive coach...RUFKM?!) I think Fangio is probably the best DC in the league today (personal opinion), and I've never forgotten his 1st tenure in NO with the Dome Patrol.

Hey, that would be more than ok to me!

Not quite, he talked pretty in depth about the church scandal on today's show. Not something the Saints PR department would ever even talk about outside of press release like yesterday.

Isn't Staley also the assistant HC? I'm not sure if they would be able to block him or not?

They won't be able to block him. A coordinator position would be a promotion for him.

There are also reports that he won't return to the 49ers regardless.

Word is that he is not going to be part of Saleh's staff in S.F. And I think a DC job would be a promotion since he is not also the DC in S.F.
