Saints coach Kellen Moore is exactly what his record says he is

New Orleans Saints' decision to hire Kellen Moore as their head coach has come under scrutiny, with many now believing he is precisely what his on-field performance indicates. Moore, touted as an offensive wizard, has struggled to generate points in the first quarter over the past 22 games. He has managed to lead the team to victory only four times in the half.

Since last year, Moore has been constructing his own strategy with his coaching team, yet he has yet to demonstrate any tangible results. His team's success has relied more on individual talent and chemistry rather than a well-designed game plan. With only half of Moore's second year completed, the decision to continue with him seems premature.

According to Analytics co-founder Jeff Asher, only 35 coaches hired since 2011 have had a more negative point differential than Moore's through the first 22 games, with the only ones possessing winning records being Sean McDermott and Dan Campbell. While there remains a possibility for Moore to reverse the decline, the odds are heavily against him.

It is improbable to witness significant changes in leadership soon, as the Saints must first navigate the challenging period following the injury of key players Jordyn Tyson and Travis Etienne Jr. If the offensive issues persist, it might lead to Moore's departure at the end of his second year. The only course of action for fans at this point is to accept the ill-fated coaching hire.
