The New Orleans Saints have finally found their guy.
There are no more openings for head coaching vacancies around the National Football League.
According to a report by NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Saints are hiring Kellen Moore.

This was an expected move, but now that his season is finally over, they can make it official.
Moore is just a couple of days removed from winning his first Super Bowl.
His work as the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive coordinator was nothing short of remarkable.
He had attracted considerable interest for head coaching positions in the past, going back to his time with the Dallas Cowboys.
His lone season under Brandon Staley with the Los Angeles Chargers wasn’t particularly successful, but he revitalized his career with an incredible campaign in the City of Brotherly Love.
Needless to say, the timing and location of the Super Bowl came in pretty handy for him, as he was already in the Big Easy to potentially scout for new houses and get this deal done.
Of course, he’s not going to have as many weapons in New Orleans as he did this season.
There are several questions and not many answers regarding the roster, starting with their quarterback situation.
Furthermore, the Saints currently face the worst salary-cap situation in the league, and it may take some time before they find a way out of that mess.
This will be Moore’s first stint as a head coach, and if the Saints are patient with him, this could be the beginning of a bright era in New Orleans.
