Saints Expected to Hire Kellen Moore as Head Coach

The New Orleans Saints are expected to hire Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore as their next head coach following Super Bowl LIX, with reports indicating that discussions regarding his potential staff are already underway. Former Saints players, including Mark Ingram II, have expressed support for Moore, emphasizing the need for an offensive-minded coach to restore the team's culture and performance, reminiscent of Sean Payton's successful tenure. However, Payton himself acknowledged the high standard set during his time and cautioned that comparisons to his legacy could add pressure to Moore. ESPN's analysts suggest that Moore's offensive strategies could significantly enhance the Saints' capabilities, especially with key players like Derek Carr, Chris Olave, and Alvin Kamara on the roster. While the deal has not yet been finalized due to potential tampering concerns, all signs point towards Moore officially taking the role soon. The Saints are keen to move forward and address their coaching vacancy, aiming for a fresh start with a leader who can adapt and innovate.
