New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore abruptly ended his contract, walking away from a huge $65.3 million deal that would have made him one of the highest-paid coaches in the game. This action startled Saints fans and NFL pundits.
Given that Moore was hired to breathe new life into the Saints’ offense and guide the franchise into a new era, the choice seems shocking. According to reports, the abrupt departure may have been caused by internal tensions, front-office disputes, and worries about the team’s long-term orientation, all of which occurred just months into his employment.
Outside the Saints’ training facility, Moore spoke to media but gave a hazy explanation:
“I can’t believe it came to this,” he replied. “I wanted this to work, but in the end, some things were out of my control.”
Though no formal explanation has been provided, conjecture is already rampant. According to some accounts, Moore was unhappy with the team’s quarterback position, while others blame him for not being able to create the team he had in mind because of conflicts over hiring choices and salary ceiling restrictions.
The Saints are now frantically searching for a new head coach as the NFL offseason gets underway, and fans are responding incredulously. Rumors are circulating over Moore’s next move, with some insiders speculating that he would return to a prominent offensive coordinator position or possibly transfer to a college.
