The New Orleans Saints are hiring California Golden Bears defensive coordinator Peter Sirmon to come work as their new linebackers coach, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel. He’s another new arrival with few connections to the old Sean Payton-Dennis Allen regime, and will work as a position coach under defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. Sirmon, 48, was a fourth-round pick by the Tennessee Titans back in 2000 and played for them until 2006. A former linebacker himself, he’s continued to coach that position at a number of college stops over the years — he overlapped with Terry Joseph, the Saints’ new def ..read more

Alontae Taylor spent time with the athletes at the HBCU Legacy Bowl over the course of the week and reflected on his experience with New Orleans Saints team reporter Erin Summers. The Saints defensive back is in the position these prospects are aiming to be in, so he’s more than qualified to give them advice. Prior to the practices for the all star game, the players went through the HBCU Combine. Alabama A&M offensive tackle Carson Vinson was the only HBCU player invited to the NFL Scouting Combine this year. This event allowed more HBCU players to go through the process in front of all 32 ..read more

The first addition Brandon Staley made to his staff was hiring Terry Joseph as the New Orleans Saints pass game coordinator. Joseph comes to New Orleans from Texas. A comment made by one of his former players brings another benefit of this hire to the forefront. Safety Jahdae Barron posted on social media that Joseph “changed his life” in response to Joseph joining the staff. This of course highlights Joseph’s coaching ability and leadership skills. It’s also a reminder of Joseph’s connection to potential NFL draft targets. Texas provides multiple options at positions of need for New Orleans ..read more

The New Orleans Saints have continued to add to their coaching staff, signing longtime college assistant coach Terry Joseph as their new defensive pass game coordinator. Joseph is a New Orleans native that has been with the Texas Longhorns since 2021. Along with needing help with coaching in the secondary, it is also a need this offseason. When it comes time to narrow down prospects for the 2025 NFL draft, Joseph could provide some key insight on a couple of top prospects that would make sense as targets for the Saints. He’s had hands-on experience coaching several Longhorns defensive backs. A ..read more

The 2025 NFL draft is growing ever nearer, and with a new head coach for the New Orleans Saints, things have become even more interesting when it comes to predicting their draft needs. As Kellen Moore begins to build his coaching staff, and eventually his roster through free agency, he will have decisions to make on who to allow to depart and replace with draft prospects. With Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Media recently completing his yearly pre-combine conference call discussing this year’s top prospects, we figured we would take a look at what he had to say regarding the prospects many Saints fan ..read more

The New Orleans Saints have seemingly become more interested in adding collegiate coaches in recent weeks, as they considered Robert Livingston from Colorado to fill their defensive coordinator spot, and recently hired Terry Joseph from Texas to fill their defensive pass game coordinator position. With that, it is reasonable to think that under Kellen Moore, the idea is to build his own staff around him from scratch and let Brandon Staley pick some new coaches to help with positional coaching. Here is a quick a look at a mix of the best collegiate defensive coaches, but also coaches who could ..read more

Alontae Taylor has been vocal on social media this offseason. After the Philadelphia Eagles blew out the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, Taylor walked away impressed with Kellen Moore and the Eagles defense. Taylor sent a message to Moore via Instagram Live, “we need the best defensive coordinator you can find that’s available.” Taylor wanted Moore to bring the aggressive, dominant defense he saw at the Super Bowl to New Orleans. The New Orleans Saints hired Brandon Staley. Staley hails from the Fangio coaching tree and spent his first three years in the NFL under now-Eagles defensive co ..read more

Derek Carr isn’t guaranteed to be the New Orleans Saints starting quarterback in 2025, but if he is, FanDuel believes the Saints will have the second-worst starting quarterback in the NFL. FanDuel took the liberty of speculating what quarterbacks will change teams in the offseason, so it should be assumed Spencer Rattler wouldn’t beat out Carr in the situation or that Rattler’s ranking would be in the same place. What’s notable is Carr is behind four quarterbacks who didn’t start last season: Justin Fields, J.J. McCarthy, Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward. Sanders and Ward may be the NFL draft’s to ..read more

The NFL offseason is here, and the New Orleans Saints have gotten the big decision out of the way by hiring their new head coach, Kellen Moore. Now they have to wait until free agency opens up in early March, and will have time to discuss which of their own they wish to keep, and who should depart. One of the players that will hit free agency is 2020 undrafted free agent Juwan Johnson, who the Saints have developed from a wide receiver into a serviceable tight end. Despite that, minimal growth in 2024 and struggles to truly break out as a quality weapon on offense has left the Saints with a ch ..read more

The New Orleans Saints now have a Super Bowl winner as their head coach, with the former offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles Kellen Moore joining up to take a crack at it once again from a new perspective. Moore will look to break out from the shadow of Nick Sirianni to create his own scheme, roster, and culture. One of the things that does happen rather often in the NFL is teams attempting to replicate the success they see. We have seen it before with the dynasty New England Patriots and their coaches being poached on a yearly basis, the Kansas City Chiefs and their coaches findi ..read more
