As new Saints head coach Kellen Moore continues to fill out his staff, he’s doing so with familiar faces.
Not only did New Orleans hire Scott Tolzien—with whom Moore worked alongside during his time in Dallas—as their quarterbacks coach on Tuesday, but the favorite in the clubhouse to become their next offensive coordinator is Doug Nussmeier—who Moore worked with in Philadelphia last season.
Additionally, as reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Saints are planning to hire Ted Rath as their director of sports science.
The 41-year-old sports performance coach most recently worked with the Eagles from 2020 to ’23 and while he and Moore didn’t overlap in Philadelphia, the two have worked together in the past. Rath’s first stop in the league came as the Detroit Lions’ assistant strength and conditioning coach from 2009 to ’15—where Moore played quarterback from ’12 to to ’14.
