Nueva Orleans-Con the New Orleans Saints is expected to hire the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, Kellen Moore, as his chief coach, would become the 19th head coach of the Saints in the history of the franchise and the 12th Full -time chief coach for the organization.
Moore in private has told the people who are interested and want the work of the Saints, the sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN, and the Saints want it, so an agreement is expected to be made once the parties They can meet again after Super Bowl Lix, except an unexpected breakdown in contract conversations.
The vacancy was left after the Saints fired Dennis Allen on November 4. The Saints had lost seven in a row after starting 2-0 and scoring 91 points in that period. The special team coordinator, Darren Rizzi, assumed the position of interim coach, and New Orleans finished 5-12 in the season.
Rizzi was one of several candidates that the saints interviewed for their permanent work in a search that began at the end of the regular season.
The group included the defensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins, Anthony Weaver, and the offensive coordinator of the New York Giants, Mike Kafka, who had multiple interviews. There was also interest in the former defensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions, Aaron Glenn, now the New York Jets coach, the offensive coordinator of Buffalo Bills, Joe Brady, the former coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy, and the offensive coordinator Of the Washington Kliff Kingsbury commanders, who retired from the process before interviewing with the interview with the team.
Looking more closely, the reporter of the Saints, Katherine Terrelll, answers three big questions about Moore’s potential as a national chief and informant coach Jeremy Fowler about what he is listening to. Matt Miller turns it to the draft and analyst Ben Sok qualifies the pending rent.
What will Moore get with the list of the Saints?
The most important question is whether Moore retains the Derek Carr Campal Marshal or if they will go in a different direction. If so, he will inherit a veteran field marshal who has gone through a change of offensive coordinator almost every year of his career. Moore will also have to discover how to turn an aging defense after the unit fought to stop the race (31 in the league) and contain mobile field marshals. Back to defense at the top will be one of Moore’s main priorities, which could make the defensive line one of its objectives in the draft. – Terrell
What obstacles will Moore face?
The saints have an aging defense. The Dear Support Davis, the defensive wing Cameron Jordan and the security Tyrann Mathieu are over 32 years old and Jordan and Davis have no aligned successors. Offensively, the field marshal is the big question. The Saints have to decide to keep Car and a capitalization figure of $ 50 million or cut it and move on with a person who calls younger, either in the draft or with Spencer Rattler or another young backup copy. The player around the world Taysom Hill is also 34 years old and comes out of a great knee injury, while the offensive depth is thin in the passes receiver – Terrell
What qualities brings Moore as a coach?
Moore, 36, is a young and energetic coach with new ideas and the same age as the supporter Davis. Moore is a former field marshal who would come to the Saints with experience, playing three games with the Dallas Cowboys in the 2015 season. It would also be his first offensive mentality coach from Sean Payton and has worked with quarterbacks such as Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts. That could be an asset for young field marshals, Rattleler and Jake Haener, who currently supports Carr. The Eagles were seventh in an annotation offensive (27.2 points per game) in the single season of Moore as an offensive coordinator – Terrell
What are you listening to in the League in the probable rent?
Moore has been qualified for a long time to be a NFL chief coach, with adequate behavior, offensive insight and skills of people to succeed. But the people I have spoken with throughout the League believe that this work will be a challenge. The saints have an aging list, salary capitalization problems and there are no short -term solutions in view. In addition, building a coaching staff so at the end of the process will not be easy. The cowboys have already hired several assistant coaches that Moore was considering. What the Saints have is a tradition of winning, something that the league observers believe that Moore Consuelo should give when entering their first main work. – Fowler
What is the best approach to the Saints for Selection No. 9? Will Moore favor the crime?
The Saints have needs in all areas, which is a true situation of “best player available” at number 9. Carr Season with brain shocks and the offensive line is still being developed. Then, it is very possible that the Saints focus on the side of Moore’s ball in the first round. But … this list is not good enough to concentrate on any position or unit.
With the terrible salary situation of the team, all positions should be considered. Looking at the Draft board and the teams that select ahead of the Saints, it is unlikely that a first round QB will fall to its place. That means that the open receptor Tetairoa McMillan (Arizona), the closed wing Tyler Warren (Penn State) and the Mykel Williams passes corridor (Georgia) could be the best players in that range. If Moore wants an instant impact on the offensive, Warren’s ability to score from anywhere in the field and his bruise power in the career game would fit well in New Orleans. – Miller
How would you rate the pending rent?
B. After all, the saints were probably the least desirable work of the cycle, and they still A young offensive Playcaller landed. Being able to bring Moore is better than I expected for a franchise that clearly plans a reconstruction of several years.
Moore was seen as a promising training star only a few years ago, but lost some impulse when the cowboys undone during his mandate as an offensive coordinator (2019-22). However, it is a problem protector on the offensive side of the ball, adapting its scheme to multiple field marshal to maximize them. Here is a roof high enough to get excited about Moore, which should have space to grow in New Orleans through the head of the head coach for the first time. – Sok
