The New Orleans Saints have hired Kellen Moore as their new head coach, making him the youngest in franchise history at 36. Moore, known for his offensive expertise, previously served as the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive coordinator from 2018-2022 and held the same role with the Chargers before joining the Eagles. His success in helping Philadelphia secure a Super Bowl LIX victory made him a top coaching candidate, and many believe he has the potential to revitalize the Saints—if given time.

However, not everyone is on board with the hire. Sports analyst Skip Bayless has been highly critical, questioning Moore’s leadership abilities and charisma. On The Skip Bayless Show, he dismissed Moore as an uninspiring figure lacking the presence needed for a head coach. While acknowledging Moore’s play-calling skills, Bayless argued that strategy alone doesn’t translate to effective leadership, drawing comparisons to past Cowboys coaches Jason Garrett and Mike McCarthy.

Bayless had previously criticized the idea of Moore as a Cowboys head coach, expressing skepticism that good coordinators automatically make good head coaches. He suggested Moore’s personality is too low-key for the role, contrasting him with the Saints’ previous fiery leader, Sean Payton. Despite the critique, many believe Moore has earned his shot. Whether he thrives in New Orleans remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—he won’t be on Skip Bayless’s holiday card list.
