New Saints Coach

After the 2005 season, the Saints hired 43-year-old Sean Payton as their new head coach. He played quarterback in the Arena League, the Canadian Football League, and the NFL (as a replacement player during the 1987 players' strike).
His coaching career included stints as quarterback coach at Miami (OH) and Illinois.
His NFL resume included Quarterbacks coach for the Eagles and Giants as well as offensive coordinator for the Giants. Then he was assistant head coach and quarter-backs coach for the Cowboys.
He compiled a record of 152 wins and 89 losses for a .631 winning % as head coach of the Saints for 15 years.
The Saints have hired 36-year-old Kellen Moore as their new coach. He quarterbacked the Boise State Broncos for four years, during which the team compiled a record of 50 wins and only three losses. He threw for 142 touchdowns and only 28 interceptions.
This was a far better college record than Payton's, but despite his glittering college performance, he didn't get much chance to play in the NFL.
Starting in 2018, he was the Cowboys' quarterbacks coach. He was promoted to offensive coordinator the following season when Mike McCarthy took over as head coach.
In 2023, he was hired by the LA Chargers as their offensive coordinator. Then he moved to the same position with the Eagles for the 2024 season.
And we know how that turned out—a Super Bowl victory.
Of course, he won't have the sterling personnel he had with the Eagles. But hopefully he will be the second coming of Sean Payton and lead the Saints to winning seasons and playoff berths again.
