Saints now know who will be coaching division rivals, and they’re familiar faces.
Every head coaching vacancy in the NFC South is now filled, and the New Orleans Saints now know who they will be facing, and Saints fans should recognize them.
Now that it’s official, the two head coaching positions in the NFC South have been filled, and the New Orleans Saints know exactly who will be in
charge of the sidelines when they play the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers. The irony is that the Saints and their supporters will be well familiar with the new hires—they are coaches.
Following Pete Carmichael’s dismissal, the Saints still have a vacancy at the offensive coordinator position at the coaches’ table, which they should
take their time filling. Meanwhile, the Panthers and Falcons have both named new head coaches, just hours apart.
As we know, the strapping young lad who is now the head honcho of the Panthers is Dave Canales, who spent this season running the offense of the
Buccaneers as its coordinator. While they were dead last in rushing, the Bucs did win the division while revitalizing the career of Baker Mayfield, so for that we can see why the Panthers made the move.
Raheem Morris, the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, was the coach the Falcons chose to work with on the other side of the ball.
Given that the Falcons offense has skill and that former head coach Arthur Smith didn’t do the best job of utilizing it, it is a little unexpected.
It might have been the key to opening the unit if they had managed to get the proper attacking mindset inside, but whatever.
It will be recalled by Saints supporters that Morris led the Bucs from 2009 to 2011, compiling a 17-31 record during that time, ten of which came in the 2010 campaign.
There you have it, the head coaching vacancies of the division rival New Orleans Saints teams have all been filled, and the outcomes are definitely
intriguing. The Big Easy is just one of several staff roles that need to be filled, and it will be interesting to observe how this erratic sector develops in
2024 and beyond.
