Multiple sources have reported that the New Orleans Saints are hiring Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier as the team's offensive coordinator under new head coach Kellen Moore.

The 54-year-old veteran coach is the father of LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.

Doug's younger son, Colton Nussmeier, is a five-star quarterback in the class of 2027.

Colton just wrapped up his sophomore season at Marcus High School in Flower Mound, Texas, but could transfer to a high school near New Orleans because of his father's new gig with the Saints.

Nussmeier played for the New Orleans Saints from 1994 to 1997, when he met his wife, a Saints cheerleader.

Nussmeier and Saints head coach Kellen Moore have worked together since 2018 with the Cowboys, Chargers, Eagles, and now again in New Orleans.

Odds are high for Colton to land at Newman.

No, still no way the Saints draft out of LSU. I like Saints and Tigers both but I don’t know why Saints don’t take LSU players

A professional organization wants their new draftee to pay attention to the franchise and not be tempted by potentially bad influences right down the road. I understand why they dont. I do think a QB would be different though. I also dont think the Saints need to focus on a QB in the draft. find em a cheap Dalton type for a year or two and rebuild the trenches.
