  Speaker 1: Try Beaver Creek today, just twenty minutes from downtown Baton
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Rouge in the Zachary area. They've got a PGA toward
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: driving range, a short game practice area, thirty to forty
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: yard practice shots. It's a great place to chip and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: putt and practice. If you don't have time for a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: full round, book your tea time today golf dot Breck
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: dot org. Golf dot Breck dot org. Kellen Moore has
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: added a couple of more assistants and one of the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: things that's been pretty obvious about his staff so far
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: is he's hired guys with whom he's familiar. Doug nus
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Myer is going to be the OUTSI coordinator has they've
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: been together since twenty eighteen. Brandon Staley's the defensive coordinator.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: You know Staley when he was the head coach of
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the Chargers, hired More as his offensive coordinator, brought a
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: couple of other staffers from Philly. There's just a lot
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of familiarity and commonality there. So at another one, Kyle
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Wilber has been added to the Saints staff. He's been
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the Packers special teams quality control coach Wilbur. If the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: name sounds familiar, Kyle Wilber spent ten years in the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: NFL as a linebacker, first six years of his career
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: with the Dallas Cowboys. That's when he overlapped with Kellen Moore.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: They were teammates in Dallas. When Wilbur retired, he immediately
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: went into coaching. He was there with Green Bay as
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a special team's assistant, and now he will our quality control.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Now he'll be the assistant special teams coordinator in assistant
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: excuse me, special teams coach in New Orleans, with Phil
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Galliano being promoted internally as the special teams coordinator. So
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: another player with whom there's a lot of familiarity there
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: for Kellen Moore that he's added to his staff, which
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: is why this hire, the second one, is super odd
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: because of all of the familiarities so far on Kellen
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Moore's staff, there's no connective tissue, at least none obvious
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: with adding Terry Joseph. Now, I like this a lot.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Terry Joseph is Listen. The Joseph family in New Orleans
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: are sort of, I don't know, they're kind of like
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a football Royal family from the high school ranks from
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Terry Joseph and advanced Joseph, who's of course the defensive
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: coordinator in the NFL right now. There are a long
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: line of great athletes and football players and coaches from
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that lineage. Well, apparently, Ian Rappaport reported that the Saints
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: wanted a defensive coach with college experience, and so they
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: went and got Terry Joseph from Texas. The interesting part
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of this is, like, there's no connection at all, like
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: wanting a college coach. Okay, if that's what Kellamore wanted
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, okay, but there's no apparent shared experience
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: with anybody on this current staff. So Terry Joseph is
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a New Orleans native, went to Shaw. He's coached all
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: over the college ranks after his playing career and the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: action played collegiate baseball at Northwestern State and played minor
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: league ball for a handful of years baseball before becoming
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a football coach. He coached football at Shaw and then
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: jumped into the college ranks. He was actually his first
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: college job. He was a GA at LSU under less
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: than two thousand and six. That was Terry Joseph's first
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: taste of college football, and then he just started, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Louisiana Tech, Tennessee, Nebraska, Texas A and M North Carolina,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame. He's been all over college football, and since
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one he's been at Texas. So the last
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: five seasons, Terry Joseph has been a defensive backs coach
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: at the Diversity of Texas. He's a New Orleans native.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: He's got no NFL experience, and there's no shared experience
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: on this staff. He's never coached with or against Kellen Moore,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: never coached with Brandon Staley on the defensive staff. The
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: closest that they got Terry Joseph in twenty eleven was
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a coach at Tennessee. The following year, Staley was an
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: assistant coach for one year at Tennessee. So they missed
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: each other by a year. So Joseph left after eleven,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Staley came in in twelve in Knoxville. Like that's the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: closest that these ships ever were to passing each other.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe the timing is interesting. Joseph is fifty one years old.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I think obviously it's an opportunity to come coach the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: NFL team in his hometown. Maybe he's looking at Texas
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: going perhaps this is where Texas takes a little bit
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: of a step back. After the college football playoff team
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: this past season. They're losing a ton of that talent,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: including Quin youwers. Of course you got Arch, but you're
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: losing a lot of guys from that Texas team. They're
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the returning production numbers over at ESPN, the SP plus
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: returning production numbers came out today on Monday, and Texas
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: is in the triple digits. They're like one hundred and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: tenth or something like that in the country, and returning
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: production probably an opportunity to make more money as well.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Terry Joseph at Texas, his salary this past season was
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and twenty five K. He's coming to New
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Orleans as the defensive pass game coordinator. Because he'll have
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: coordinator on his title, he'll very likely make more money.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So coach in the NFL, coach in your hometown, make
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: more money. All of that checks boxes, right, There's all
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: those reasons why Terry Joseph would take the job. It's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: just interesting why and how Kellen Moore identify Terry Joseph
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: would say that's the guy I wanted my staff. But
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: this is an interesting time to come to New Orleans
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: as well because in that position group, in that secondary,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it feels like this is going to be a formative
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: type year where you've got young guys a Lante Taylor
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and kool Aid McKinstry trying to elevate themselves. You've got
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: paulse In a deebo who's a free agent but coming
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: off an injury where I think we're all hoping the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Saints are able to resign Pulse in a debo, but
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that doesn't seem like a certainty at this point. At safety,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew is nearing the end of his career and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you desperately need help at the other safety spot. So
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: there's maybe some clay there to be molded in that
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: secondary by Terry Joseph, which is why this could be
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: an interesting time. Some young players, some turnover, new coach,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: new system, a little bit of a maybe some autonomy
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: in the defensive secondary, coming home, probably making a little
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: bit more money. A lot of that seems like it
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: could make sense for Terry Joseph at this time. But
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: an interesting hire, to say the very least, one that's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: very much off the radar because there are no lines
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: pointing to either Staley or Kellen Moore throughout his coaching lineage.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: But Terry Joseph, New Orleans Football Royalty, the Joseph Family,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Terry Joseph coming to New Orleans coach the Saints as
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the defensive pass game coordinated, the latest addition to Kellen
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: moore staff
