The New Orleans Saints have a new a head coach.
The Saints are bringing in former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore as their head coach, a move that impacts the Denver Broncos.
New Orleans was the final team seeking a head coach and now that the position has been filled, there are no HC jobs left for Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph to pursue in 2025. That means Joseph is set to remain Denver as the team’s DC this season.
The Saints hiring Moore also opens the door for Broncos coach Sean Payton to fill the team’s special teams coordinator position. Darren Rizzi was a candidate for the full-time HC job in New Orleans. Now that the Saints have picked Moore, Rizzi is free to join Payton’s staff in Denver.
Rizzi, 54, was hired by Payton to serve as ST coach in New Orleans in 2019. He later got a promotion that added assistant head coach to his title in 2022, then Rizzi served as interim head coach for the Saints for the second half of last season.
The Broncos can now hire Rizzi as their ST coach, which is one of five coaching staff positions that Payton needs to fill this offseason. We will track all of the latest updates on Denver’s coaching staff on Broncos Wire.
