There it is. NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill reports what we’ve expected would be the case — the Saints are hiring Doug Nussmeier to become Kellen Moore’s offensive coordinator in 2025.
Nussmeier, 54, has worked with Moore as a quarterbacks coach every step of the way through his NFL journey. They were together on the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Chargers, and this year’s Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles team.
But Moore will continue to call plays after becoming the Saints’ head coach, so what will Nussmeier be responsible for? Expect him to spend a lot of time supervising the different position groups, breaking down opponents’ tape, and game planning during the week.
As a former NFL quarterback himself (Nussmeier was drafted by the Saints and spent several years in New Orleans as a backup), he’ll have an important role in working with the team’s passers each week, too. Whether that’s Derek Carr, Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener or someone else entirely remains to be seen.
