Most of that criticism is warranted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">However, it says a lot about the coaching staff Brian Schottenheimer has put together that some of the\u00a0NFL&#8217;s finest analysts are excited\u00a0about what the Cowboys&#8217; offense could look like next season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Schottenheimer made it clear in his introductory press conference that he wants Dallas to be a physical team.\u00a0New offensive coordinator Klayton Adams\u00a0and offensive line coach Conor Riley have followed Schottenheimer&#8217;s lead in wanting to establish violence.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Adams in particular looks the part of a fantastic hire. Highly regarded around the league after a successful stint as Cardinals offensive line coach, Adams was going to become an offensive coordinator sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It was previously reported that Kellen Moore wanted to hire Adams as his OC if he landed a head coaching job. Moore has since been hired by the New Orleans Saints and has wasted no time plucking former Cowboys coaches for his staff.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">With Adams unavailable Moore has pivoted &#8230; to another former Dallas coach.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Kellen Moore hires former Cowboys assistant Doug Nussmeier to Saints staff<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Multiple reports have confirmed\u00a0that Moore has hired longtime assistant Doug Nussmeier as his offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Nussmeier served as quarterbacks coach at all of Moore&#8217;s previous three stops as an offensive coordinator, including with the Eagles last season, the Cowboys for four seasons from 2019 to 2022 and the Chargers in 2023.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Moore has already confirmed he will call plays for the Saints, but Nussmeier will play a pivotal role installing Moore&#8217;s offense throughout the offseason program and designing weekly game plans once the regular season rolls around.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Nussmeier&#8217;s son, Garrett Nussmeier, is LSU&#8217;s starting quarterback so you can circle New Orleans as a likely landing spot for the talented QB assuming he declares for the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It&#8217;s an intriguing hire for the Saints. With several years of experience as a QBs coach, Nussmeier was bound to become an offensive coordinator at some point. It is fitting that Moore affords him that opportunity.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">While Moore has poached multiple former Eagles coaches, New Orleans&#8217; staff will have a lot of Cowboys flavor.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Joining Nussmeier in the Big Easy are Scott Tolzien, a former Dallas assistant who will be Moore&#8217;s QBs coach and Chase Haslett, a former Cowboys assistant tight ends coach who will preside over the Saints&#8217; TE room.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It&#8217;s no surprise that Moore relied on his Cowboys roots to fill out his coaching staff, but it is quite funny that multiple former Dallas coaches who didn&#8217;t pan out with the franchise will have prominent roles on Moore&#8217;s staff.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">We&#8217;ll see how it works out for him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Orleans Saints Introduce Kellen Moore as Head Coach | Derick E.
