Breaking! Saints hire Kellen Moore as head coach (568 Viewers)

Yeah, we're still playing wait-and-see in the accountability department. I'm just glad it's not McCarthy abuse that's been his problem in the past.

Who’s going to be the coach on his staff willing to chew a player out is the question.

There was a blurb during the SB where Sirianni chewed AJ Brown out on the sideline for something. Next time Brown came in he game Moore dialed up a play that got him the ball.

He obviously can manage personalities and keep them involved in the game(similar to Payton) but who’s his Sirianni?

Or is he capable of that himself?

Many ways to skin a cat. It's possible he just doesn't allow mentalities like that on the team. That would be the worst case scenario, which isn't all that bad.

Jason Garret Tree >>> Sean Payton Tree

Is @StudioSaint now able to officially acknowledge that Kellen Moore is definitely the new Saints HC?

I appreciated the firm adherence to 'nothing has yet been confirmed', even if no one else did.

I'm hoping he's smarter than Payton, more professional, and just as hard of a worker. Payton is and was super petty. He couldn't simply win, he had to try and rub it in like a little phony.

Finally. I think Loomis and co’s patience paid off big time. I can’t wait to see the changes he’s going to bring and the staff he assembles

A real double edged sword that patience is, but getting the Super Bowl winning OC here is a good get. That it didn't go the fall back options of Kafka, Weaver or Rizzi makes the wait worth it.

one thing I think is interesting is that Philly was so good all season playing a run-first offense with Saquon. but they just put up 40 points in the Super Bowl without running much at all, so hopefully that means Moore is flexible & adaptable with his approach to stick with what's working. that's a good quality of a Head Coach.

Now some of yall can stop stressing lol

I just have to laugh - sooooooo many other outlets (not really anyone here) dogging our team, saying how nobody would ever want to coach here ... and we got the best candidate of anyone this cycle. Certainly the most recently accomplished, haha. I LOVE IT.

It is us against the world again. I love what we did here.

That doesn’t sound correct. How many other teams even interviewed Moore or considered him? I realize he COULD be the best hire, but to claim that now is sunshine pumping homerism.

Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson were clearly better HC candidates than Moore. Don’t forget 2 different guys removed THEMSELVES from consideration for this job.

I’m hopeful too, but pump the brakes.

This team is still very much behind the 8-ball

Saints finalized deal to hire, Super Bowl winning offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore as head coach:

My Saints fandom just increased today. Lost a lot of interest under the last head coach. I will give him time to bring in his people and get the process started of moving the franchise ahead.

They actually ran the ball a ton... 25 carries for Barkley - 11 for Hurts - 6 for Gainwell - 3 for Pickett - That's 45 rush attempts (and realize some of those were clock killers in junk time).... But they only attempted 23 passes all game.... They ran a ton, and didn't give up on it.... They simply had the guys at WR and TE to adjust and go down the field at the right time, because KC was all in on stopping Barkley.

Thank god that we’ll finally have an offense again. The past few years have been brutal outside of a handful of games each season.

Fun fact, our new head coach won more games in the Dome(2) than our former head coach won in the Dome(1) during the 2024-2025 season.

Now we need a Qb that can bail us out of 3rd and 8 with his legs on a regular basis. Bye, Carr.
