Saints Begin New Era Under Head Coach Kellen Moore

The New Orleans Saints are entering a new era under 37-year-old head coach Kellen Moore, who is set to lead the team in his first game at the Superdome against the Arizona Cardinals. Moore, the NFL's youngest head coach and former offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, aims to bring a fresh offensive dynamic to the Saints, who have not made the playoffs since Drew Brees retired in 2020 and have struggled to have winning seasons since 2021. Moore’s approach emphasizes fundamentals and play style, with the team excited about the unique atmosphere of Week 1. Former quarterback Tommy Mellott, signed by the Saints after a workout, is transitioning to a receiver role, learning multiple positions within the offense alongside Moore’s coaching. Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon, who is also rebuilding his team, respects Moore’s capabilities and expects the Saints to present a challenging offense. Drew Brees has expressed optimism about Moore’s potential to positively impact the Saints franchise.
