Former Saints Coach Torches Kellen Moore: QB Decision Branded ‘Baffling’ and Risky

"What's the purpose of that?" Former Saints head coach Jim Mora is tired of this one part of the 2025 offense.

The New Orleans Saints are 2-9 this season. Many things have to change, and for former Saints head coach Jim Mora, it's the Taysom Hill quarterback plays that have got to go.

Mora expressed his displeasure earlier this week on WDSU. "What the heck? We got a good quarterback; he's a big guy, a good athlete, and he's tough and those kinds of things... Leave him in there! He's your leader; he's your quarterback," He said on Tuesday. "He can make a yard or two yards if you call the right dang play. I mean, jeez, I couldn't believe...what's the purpose of that? It surprises the heck out of me."

Under Kellen Moore, the typical Taysom plays haven't been working. Whether it's because he's taking the starting quarterback completely off the field or whether it's something else, the fact is that the Taysom plays are flat-out stalling drives for the black and gold.

Kellen Moore only takes some of the responsibility for Taysom Hill's lack of production

Saints head coach Kellen Moore is also the offensive playcaller on Sundays. On the Monday after the loss to the Atlanta Falcons, he took some of the responsibility for the lack of success on the Taysom Hill-designed plays. "Obviously the pass didn't work out, and that's 100% on me. Going for that didn't work out," he said when asked if he'd call something differently when looking back on it. However, he would then pivot the blame.

"Then unfortunately there was that 3rd and 1 late in the game where the snap went over and we ended up with the intentional grounding. Kind of felt like we were playing two-down football there with a chance to give Taysom a shot and then play fourth down, so we missed our opportunity on fourth down because of the intentional grounding."

"...because of the intentional grounding." Right there, at the end of that last sentence, might be one of the main reasons for the team's lack of success. The issue at heart is the play calling, not the play execution. Moore must finally realize that removing the quarterback who led the offense down the field may be a mistake. Tyler Shough can run with it if he needs to and has even admitted as such, but for some reason, his coach isn't using that part of his skill set.
