Saints Part Ways With Kris Richard
In this story:
The Saints appear to be having some major shakeups with their defense. According to a Wednesday evening report by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, which was confirmed by several local reporters, New Orleans is parting ways with co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach Kris Richard.
This now leaves the team to find a new defensive coordinator, secondary coach, and defensive line coach after Ryan Nielsen was already hired away by the Falcons. Richard joined the Saints in 2021 and made a very strong impact from the start. He was on a few team's radars for interviews. It's unclear as to what the vision or direction the Saints will go from here.
New Orleans already has a lot of things to figure out on the offensive side of the football, and now they have even more on the defensive side, something that was a clear strength of the team.
