Saints owner calls 1-4 start 'not acceptable'

Key Points:

• Saints owner Gayle Benson expressed strong approval of GM Mickey Loomis's work despite the team's struggles, indicating Loomis is likely secure in his role through the 2025 season, though 2026 could be a critical evaluation year.
• Kellen Moore, fresh off leading the Eagles' high-powered offense to a Super Bowl victory, is poised to become the Saints' head coach, bringing a potentially pass-heavy offensive approach that will depend on how the team addresses quarterback and offensive personnel issues.
• Moore is expected to bring in his longtime quarterbacks coach, Nussmeier, as offensive coordinator, while reportedly targeting Robert Saleh as defensive coordinator to improve a Saints defense that ranked in the bottom half of the league last season.
• The Moore-Saints coaching partnership is nearly finalized, marking the franchise's first head coaching hire outside the Sean Payton coaching tree in 20 years, signaling a shift toward new offensive strategies to boost scoring.
• The Saints have conducted multiple interviews for the head coach position, with Moore as the clear favorite, and other candidates like Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver and Giants OC Mike Kafka still under consideration.
