The New Orleans Saints were the last team to make their head coach hire, but it seems their patience was well worth it. Since the hire became official, the Saints have agreed to contracts with great coordinators and other staff members. Today, these agreements became official.
Many of these names were already known throughout the past weeks, but some of the names are interesting. The Saints have brought back Mike Martinez as assistant to the head coach, Peter Guinta as a senior defensive assistant, Brian Young as assistant defensive line coach, Adam Gristick as assistant linebackers coach, and Charles Byrd as a strength and conditioning coaches.
A new addition to the coaching staff that was not revealed until now is Kyle Valero. Last season, Valero was an offensive assistant with the Super Bowl winning Philidelphia Eagles, and his role with the Saints is assistant wide recievers coach. Before that, Valero coached with Kellen Moore in Dallas.
This will be an important couple of months for Saints and now with the coaching staff officially set, New Orleans can put all their focus on free agency and the draft.
