Saints Fans Eagerly Await New Era with Drew Brees Handing over Reins to Kellen Moore
Quantifying Kellen Moore's Arrival: Brees Backs the Fresh New Orleans Coach
The latest addition to the New Orleans Saints roster has garnered a thumbs-up from a league legend – Drew Brees. Brees showered praise on Kellen Moore, certain that he's just the man the Saints need right now.
Saturday, the Super Bowl-winning signal-caller voiced his support during the opening of Surge Entertainment in Metairie, Louisiana. "I've only heard great things about Kellen," Brees stated, according to the Saints organization.
His admiration for Moore isn't recent. Back in Moore's college days at Boise State, Brees took note of the young quarterback's underdog mentality, continuous wins against teams considered stronger, and apparent leadership skills.
"He's one of those methodical guys who's got moxie," Brees acknowledges, "He carried all those traits into his coaching role."
Moore's knack for handling the unexpected was on full display when Derek Carr unexpectedly called it quits. Moore promptly onboarded undrafted junior college quarterback Hunter Dekkers into the roster.
Brees remains firmly in Moore's corner. He wasn't the sole encouragement – there were more positive words from Brees for the newly-appointed Saints leader.
The Saints' Curious Wave of Departures: Derek Carr's Retirement and Beyond
At 36, Moore will step into the coaching hot seat, making him one of the youngest in the league. He trails head coaches like Mike McDaniel of the Miami Dolphins, Sean McVay of the Los Angeles Rams, and Seattle Seahawks' Mike Macdonald, who previously held the title for youngest NFL head coaches[1].
Although young, Brees sees Moore as an excellent fit for the Saints. "He's great for this organization. He's ready for this fanbase," Brees shared.
Prior to joining the Saints, Moore spent years with the Dallas Cowboys, a stint with the Los Angeles Chargers, and a brief time with the Philadelphia Eagles, but not without sporting the Super Bowl ring from his tenure with the Eagles[2].
With experience and a decorated background, Brees sees potential in Moore, illuminating the start of a potential era of revitalization for the Saints[3].
In the NFL, rumors swirled about Kellen Moore's potential as a head coach, but his impressive stint at Boise State had already caught the eye of Drew Brees, a legendary quarterback in American football. Now, with Moore taking the hot seat at the New Orleans Saints, Brees believes the young coach will bring a breath of fresh air to the team, following a series of departures that included Derek Carr's retirement. The Saints, with their passionate fanbase, are eager to see how the drafted players and Moore will work together to revitalize the team and potentially lead them to victory in the world of sports, particularly football.
