Congrats Kellen Moore winning Super Bowl 59 as the OC you deserve it now let's hope you'll win another one as the new Saints head coach!

[@DTranD]

Lukewarm hiring for one of the least desired HC jobs. He’ll be fired a year before his contract ends and will go back to being an OC. Congrats to him for grabbing a bag of cash for his family though.

[@kevinmckay2483]

@@DTranDI kind of disagree he’s going Team with underrated talent that looked good before the entire team went down with injuries. I think they could make some noise with the right draft and the right luck with health.

[@JamesConnorr]

WE GOT OUR GUY , WHO DAT

[@Pazzi-y3k]

Congratulations ❤Saints

[@d.g.1594]

Welcome to the saints Kellen Moore.

[@mannied6395]

We just really want a new GM!

[@thomasdominick7058]

At Chargers, Kellen's offense scored 5 straight TDs vs a healthy Detroit team. They still lost because Staley, who called the defense, couldn't stop anyone.

[@wolfszn]

jalen hurts gottem a ring and a HC job dak presscot & herbert got him fired 😂

[@jcarbajal7348]

Nice try, but no. Dallas scapegoated him. Where did they end up? Leaving the Chargers had nothing to do with Kellen and all to do with the HC getting fired and Harbaugh simply had his own guys. Out of all 3 teams he has OC'd for, the numbers don't lie. He is averaging top 5 offenses & now has a ring. 1st time "happenstance" ; 2nd time "coincidence" ; 3rd time is a "pattern". Jalen didn't get him a ring, Jalen + Moore + Barkley + all the rest of that team got themselves a ring led by good OC coaching to maximize their strengths. They were on a massive loosing streak last year coming into the playoffs and spiralling. You don't just turn around and win a super bowl because Jalen somehow figured it out. Rationalize and give Kellen his dues man

[@AlexTafoya-m5j]

Kellen Moore is one of those Quietly Talented coaches & This Only shows Jerry Jones doesn't know how to build nor run a team. Congratulations to The Eagles & I'm happy J. Hurts S. Barkley Continue to succeed. Never underestimate the Underdog nor the Quiet people

[@1.idz24]

Ayo CBS got the baddies 😂

[@NolaNerd]

If it was up to Mickey Doofus, i mean Loomis, Dennis allen would still be HC. The Owner Gale Benson had to tell Mickey to fire him

[@Jack_Cohen-z9m]

Shut up and stop hating on Mickey Loomis and DA. Mickey loomis just hired Kellen moore and you still unhappy even though Mickey has been great.

[@hoi4enjoyer37]

dennis allen should’ve never been promoted to hc

[@LouisianaMcPatriot]

Kellen was destined to be an NFL Head Coach. He's been regarded as a 'coach on the field' since his time at Boise. Just search old YT videos about his concepts on offense and you'll quickly see. As coach, many times his schemes have still done well, even dealing with injuries and/or lack of talent. What will be exciting in the coming weeks is which coaches he will bring with him from across the league. Stoutland and/or Nussmeier could be realistic, but Fangio would be a dream. It'll be very interesting, that's for sure. Other Saints fans just don't know the potential for greatness that's about to unfold for their viewing pleasure.

[@frankkramer2267]

How casual are u? Stout has been in Philly since Chip Kelly. Since 2013. Kellen was here 1 year. Fangio is finishing his career in Philly he's already said. Dumb things people say.

[@LouisianaMcPatriot]

@@frankkramer2267 So? Not dumb. Just wishful thinking. Advice, don't insult people just cause you disagree. It's low IQ. Instead, come up with a good rebuttal.

[@adamzielinski2001]

This should not be a surprise, whether or not you like this hire as a Saints fan is different story. I will say for hopes sake that the last time New Orleans hired a former Cowboys coordinator, his name was Sean Payton…

[@stevegatoloai2179]

I saw this coming. They’ve been giving out hints all week leading up to the Super Bowl. Hopefully this man can turn things around.

[@PvtNunchuck]

Well when he gets 3 interviews and the saints don’t hire anyone, it’s pretty much guaranteed. Just had to wait until the SB was done

[@DmanNIKE]

Derek Carr old news as a Saints fan give me Kellen Moore & Justin Fields with Olave Rasheed Hill AK n sign Tee Higgins

[@bill-to7ir]

Carr got a winning record with saints. So 1 year with kellen who knows but how is Carr's hand.

[@kevinmckay2483]

Bro fields sucks he isn’t half as good as Carr at passing the ball

[@tylerjc1000]

Tank for Arch!

[@libraryofalexandriatoday]

Would love to see Chris Petersen, Bryan Harsin, or Pete Kwiatkowski join the staff in some capacity.

[@brentb3275]

Coach Pete for sure!

[@rickpedia6724]

Harsin cant compete at this level. Coach Pete all day long.

[@akeredun]

Great to FINALLY have an actual Head Coach as opposed to a head roach!

[@LilRedRasta]

lol we might have actually gotten the best HC candidate in this cycle. Pays off to be worst job lmao. Bro is equal to Ben Johnson in my eyes.

[@jrcrit8843]

I believe Chicago got that. Kellen had the benefit of working with a better roster. He’s a great hire. Just need to see what he can do with a lesser than roster than what the Eagles and Cowboys had over the years

[@williamkeller6854]

Man I really hope Nick doesn’t make the same mistake Doug made. The eagles need to go out and get an offensive coordinator from somewhere else. Promoting from within after a Super Bowl doesn’t work the vast majority of the time. The Eagles are gonna need fresh eyes and a fresh mind to take the offense to the next level next season. Promoting one of Kellens assistants trying to run Kellen’s offense just won’t work.

[@eaglesman19]

Exactly, they need someone who’s good at what they do but won’t be a head coach at least not anytime soon. I’d look for a former veteran HC.

[@frankkramer2267]

This wasn't even kellens offense. It was still nicks offense with some of kellens concepts included. And most likely whoever comes in now will add concepts to this growing offense.

[@Tramall_Mally_Mal]

Charles Davis i disagree...Mickey isn't a good GM

[@anthonyperry4162]

Well at least we didnt lose both Coordinators this time....Vic was tremendous for our defense...

[@christiannavarro8437]

Don't forget Former HC LA Charger's Brandon Stanley hiring him as the New DC

[@marlinstiger5303]

Really

[@michaelratliff2865]

​@@marlinstiger5303shefty tweeted it

[@ricblic901]

Well, the Saints couldn't get much worse anyway. Philly won because they have a defense. Take away the pressure that resulted in pics, it's a different game, the offense was okay, not outstanding but okay. Is this why you give somebody a HC'ing gig. Talk about wishing and hoping.

[@anthonyperry4162]

If Kevin Patullo keeping Kellen Moore philosophy maybe continuity will not be as big of an issue as bringing in an entire new system and philosophy would help Jalen Hurts stay on track

[@netopierre3477]

WhooooooooooooDaaaaaaaaattttt!!!!⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️

[@karlodonnell8935]

A lot of eagles fans are shocked and upset about kellen Moore and i am a saints fan

[@leomartinez2367]

Congratulations. Mike McCarthy was responsible for his exit out of Dallas. CARMA. HE GOT YOUR JOB FAT MIKE!!

[@Turpitud3]

Can you imagine if he ends up being good? Jerry Jones gets to add another fumble to his ever expanding list.

[@Mark-xl1ze]

Moore was smart not to take the Cowboys HC position because he would have been nothing more than a puppet, plus him already having worked under Jerry.... he knew how the structure was going to be.

[@frankkramer2267]

Bad decision on Moores part. Hell b fired in 2 to 3 tears

[@tyroilsmoochie-wallace]

Brandon Staley as DC 😤

[@Jack_Cohen-z9m]

Brandon Staley is actually a good defensive coordinator, just not a good head coach just yet he is still young enough to prove otherwise.

[@nurelic_og]

This is a 4-year project I expect him to have a winning record next season and the season after that March to the playoffs and who knows

[@LilRedRasta]

Shows you know nothing about the Saints. Def not a 4 year project. Saints are only weak on the OL and DL. Qb is an issue but a game manager can win with this team if we straighten out those two. We already have 2 good OL and one average one. Just need like 2 more guys there. DL we were weak against the run so just need a DT. We have young guys on the line who can get pressure as well. Just need to stay healthy. Our secondary is still good especially once we get Adebo back who at one point was leading the nfl in interceptions this year. Also in 2026 we have cap space and in 2027 we’re 100m under the cap. This is a 2 year rebuild at most.

[@LilRedRasta]

For reference when the Saints were 2-0 this year they were beating the eagles about to go 3-0. Then our center went down, our RG went down and Taysom went down and we end up losing by a touchdown. After that we got injured even more and that was the end. Saints still have good players

[@nurelic_og]

@LilRedRasta I hope you're right but there's 32 teams they all have good players you need great players and it takes time to either build them or hire them and you don't have the money yet just my opinion like I said I hope you're right I hope they win the division next year make a good run

[@LilRedRasta]

@@nurelic_og We don’t need money this year is the point. We have a good roster outside of the positions mentioned. IF we draft well in the trenches they’re not going to cost money. This draft will be crucial. Also our health on the OL because before they started getting injured saints had one of the highest rated OLs those first two weeks. Also we play in the NFC south which is an easy division

[@nurelic_og]

@LilRedRasta as I said I hope you're right I've been a Kellen Moore fan since Boise State followed him every place he's gone

[@AlexTafoya-m5j]

😮 Jerry Jones Didn't see that? Keeping average players & leting a good coach go was another Dallas Cowboy's mistake. Best wishes & lots of Luck to Kellen Moore I hope He achieves lots of success in N.O.

[@breezeb8720]

Your guy?! He’s the only guy! Every other coach rejected the job offer 😂 cuz the saints are in salary cap hell

[@ericmarks6322]

Just hope this guy got his shit together and being a head coach is not beyond his capabilities. Some people were just born to be coordinators and are not able to run the whole show, hope this guy is not one of those.

[@bill-to7ir]

Can't believe Dallas didn't try to get him back

[@marine-kj4ct]

Mike McCarthy to be the offensive coordinator for the Eagles he’s from Pennsylvania. It would be a good gig for him till another head coaching job opens up.

[@carllaborde8204]

Derek Carr may be with the Jets next season. Stranger things have happened.

[@anthonyperry4162]

Is Kevin Patullo gonna keep Kelken Moore philosophy?

[@dcgamer8535]

He wont do shit

[@Freedom_Talks9oh]

Unfortunately with college players now getting paid and having a transfer portal to hop into when they don’t want to be disciplined, there’s no longer development in college football which means no more young talent to play for the nfl.

[@trey1614]

Going from Jalen Hurts to Derek Carr is crazy 😂

[@RSMoreno]

If the Eagles had Derek Carr, they’d have just completed a 3-peat. Problem for Kellen is it’s a team game and one qb can only be as good as the team’s weakest link. I’d take Hurts and the Bird’s o-line over Tom Brady with New Orleans.

[@jrcrit8843]

@@RSMorenoyeah stop lying to yourself. Unlike Carr, Hurts actually made it to the playoffs without Smith, AJ Brown, Saquan, and that defense in his first season as a starter

[@RSMoreno]

@ oh you mean the defense that had record sack production? Or the best o-line in the while league? Team sport. Eagles made Hurts look great just like Seattle made Russ look like he was HoF when he was younger. Derek Carr has produced at high levels but he’s never had an elite team. Saints are terrible. But Derek Carr beat Hurts in their matchup if you just want to use casual logic.

[@enigma0165]

​@RSMoreno He was 2nd in MVP voting that year. That had nothing to do with defense

[@bill-to7ir]

$$$$$$$$$

[@terrancethomassr8947]

He made a mistake. He shouldn’t have never took that job. There’s no money GM is trash a lot of old players on that team I wish him the best is going to need it
