The Saints announced five official additions to Dennis Allen's coaching staff on Wednesday. All were previously reported to be joining New Orleans.

New Saints Coaches for 2023

Joe Woods, Defensive Coordinator
Todd Grantham, Defensive Line
Marcus Robertson, Secondary
Clancy Barone, Tight Ends
Kevin Carberry, Offensive Line Assistant

John DeShazier, the Saints' Senior Writer, was able to catch up with Allen regarding the moves.

Allen said, "The No. 1 thing was, as I was looking to make some changes on the staff, I wanted guys that I knew exactly what I was getting, I had familiarity with these coaches, and they're all really good coaches."

Allen is going to need each of these coaches performing their duties at a high level going into the new league year, as the Saints are in desperate need of turning the ship around after missing the playoffs for the past two seasons. Their track history is certainly promising, but they each have big shoes to fill from previous departures.

The team remains in the hunt for quarterback Derek Carr, who became a free agent on Tuesday afternoon. If New Orleans can solve for their QB situation, it'll go a long way in their quest to retake the NFC South.
