The Saints have hired Eagles quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier to serve as their offensive coordinator according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

Long considered as the favorite to land the job, Nussmeier, who was drafted by the Saints in 1994, will now follow Kellen Moore to New Orleans in hopes of revitalizing a Saints team that finished 5-12 last season. Nussmeier and Moore worked closely from 2020 to 2022 as members of the Cowboys, in 2023 while with the Chargers, and last season with the Eagles, which should make for a seamless transition for all involved.

Nussmeier last served as an offensive coordinator in 2017 while with the University of Florida, but also had coordinator stops at the collegiate ranks at Fresno State, Washington, Alabama, and Michigan. While Nussmeier is now in place, it’s worth restating that Moore is expected to serve as the primary play-caller in what should be a new-look Saints offense.
