Update Saints expected to hire Kellen Moore as head coach (76 Viewers)

[DSnfla]

I wasn't clear. I'm saying that a lot of fans interpreted the vague reports as Moore likes Rattler, but not Carr or Haener. I'm not saying that was what was actually in any report.

As you see for yourself, there is nothing reported that actually indicates Moore likes Rattler, but doesn't like Carr or Haener. A lot of fans are wish casting and wish rationalizing their wanting Rattler to be the starter no matter what.

Sorry, Yes I agree

 

[DSnfla]

Yes, I'd be cool with just about any QB who the new HC wants to build around. Carr, Rattler, Will Howard, Joe Milton, Kyle McCord, Jaxson Dart, QB from 2026 draft, etc. Sure, there are guys I would prefer, but Moore has proven he can work with many QBs.

Watch out Snakeman the Rattleheads are gonna be coming for ya

 

[DSnfla]

That's where I'm at too. I'd be curious to see if Moore could have the same success with Hill that he had with Hurts. I think after Carr, Hill as a Hurts type of QB would give the Saints the best chance of winning. I don't expect it to happen and am not dead set positive it would work out well.

I've always said that TH should throw at least 3 -4 passes a game just to keep the D off balance. I'd love to see him do a Tebow type run to the LOS and throw a jump pass

Forget the super bowl, who's looking forward to Monday or Tuesday?

Would like to see an old school coaching veteran next to Moore, to counter his youth.

Mike Zimmer, Ron Rivera types. Maybe not necessarily those particular guys, but just those types. I’d like to have that type of contrast.

It's hard to agree with picking someone coaching under Fangio if it's Fangio himself that made the Philly defense good. I think Staley might be the best choice in that he was a good DC before and only got fired for not being a great HC. You have to wonder if there are any other former DCs sitting on teams as line or linebackers coaches that aren't being talked about yet.

Yeah….I tend to agree with you on that. I am intrigued by Christian Parker though. Staley would be a good hire too. Both are young which I like since it appears we’re going with a youth movement. However…like you’re saying, a top notch, older veteran but GOOD DC hire to counter his youth would be great as well.

I see all these other teams like the Rams, Vikings and Dolphins with all these young coaches and coordinators doing well and always seem to be thinking…why not us.

Doesn’t really meet my personal wish of a former HC type, but this could be an intriguing name to watch.

Jeremiah Washburn, who has more than two decades of experience as an NFL coach and scout, enters his sixth season with the Philadelphia Eagles and third as the team's defensive ends/outside linebackers coach.
In 2023, Washburn helped linebacker Haason Reddick collect his second consecutive Pro Bowl honor after recording a career-high 70 pressures with 23 quarterback hits, 13 tackles for loss, and 11.0 sacks (first Eagle with 11.0-plus sacks in back-to-back seasons in 30 years). Washburn also aided defensive end Josh Sweat to a career-best 75 pressures, which ranked sixth among NFL defensive ends, and a career-high-tying 23 quarterback hits.
During the Eagles' 14-3 campaign that resulted in a Super Bowl LVII appearance in 2022, Washburn oversaw a group of edge rushers that helped engineer the third-most sacks (70, tied) in NFL history, trailing only the 1984 Bears (72) and 1989 Vikings (71). Philadelphia also became the first team to have four different players post double-digit sacks in the same year.

I hope we absolutely raid the Eagles coaching staff, strength and conditioning team, player personnel/scouting staff, analytics team…I want it all. I want their program duplicated as much as possible. They are doing something right in Philly…just a consistent year-in, year-out winner.

Yeah, Rivera would be excellent to me. I have always liked him. Not sold on Zimmer anymore after how Dallas looked this past season.

I'm fully on board with going with the young "smartest guy in the room" HC, DC, and assistants. We can hire an older arse chewer in one of the assistant positions or just as an assistant HC. And if you have Staley you have a guy who can help Moore with the mistakes he made and help him figure out how to organize training camp and practices.
