new Orleans Saints fans Reacts in shock as NFL coach sean payton makes suriprising statements Announcing that power forward kellen moore has been …
In a bizarre and utterly unexpected twist that has left fans of the New Orleans Saints stunned and social media in a frenzy, former Saints head coach and current NFL commentator Sean Payton made waves today with a surprising announcement involving none other than Kellen Moore—a name usually associated with clipboard duty, not slam dunks.
During a live panel discussion on the NFL Network, Payton, known for his often cryptic but calculated commentary, dropped a bombshell. With a half-smile and unmistakable confidence, he announced, “The Saints are looking to innovate, and part of that innovation includes bringing in power forward Kellen Moore.”
The room fell silent. Then came a flood of questions. Power forward? Kellen Moore? The 35-year-old former NFL quarterback and current offensive coordinator?
The comment was so confounding that viewers initially assumed it was a joke, a mix-up, or some kind of inside reference. But as the broadcast continued, Payton stood by his words, refusing to clarify whether it was metaphorical, hypothetical, or literal. “You’re going to see some new formations next season,” he added cryptically. “We’re going to break the mold. Just wait.”
Reactions from Saints fans ranged from bewildered to furious. The team, currently under head coach Dennis Allen and still recovering from an underwhelming 2024 season, was not expected to make headlines—certainly not ones this bizarre.
“I don’t even know what to say,” said Saints fan and podcast host Tyrell Dugas. “Did Sean just call Kellen Moore a power forward? In the NFL? That’s like calling Drew Brees a catcher for the Yankees. What’s going on?”
Fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with memes and speculation. One user posted a Photoshopped image of Moore dunking over Falcons defenders with the caption: “The NFC South ain’t ready for the 6’0” power forward smoke.” Others dug up footage of Moore from his Boise State days, trying to determine if he had ever played basketball (he hadn’t, at least not professionally or at the college level).
An attempt to reach the Saints’ front office yielded little. A spokesperson offered a brief statement: “We are aware of Coach Payton’s comments and have no official announcement to make at this time. Kellen Moore remains under contract as the offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers.”
Moore himself was reportedly “caught off guard” by the statement and has yet to respond publicly. Sources close to the situation suggest Moore was unaware of any such role, symbolic or otherwise, being discussed.
NFL insiders, however, speculate that Payton’s use of “power forward” might be metaphorical—referring to Moore’s supposed “power” in shaping offensive strategies or perhaps hinting at an unorthodox hybrid role within a coaching staff.
But without clarification, the football world remains in limbo.
It’s worth noting that Sean Payton has long been known for pushing boundaries. During his tenure in New Orleans, he was the architect behind some of the league’s most aggressive offensive plays, including surprise onside kicks, trick plays, and multi-quarterback schemes. Even since leaving the Saints and briefly returning to coaching with the Denver Broncos, he’s continued to make headlines with his off-the-cuff style and philosophical takes on the game.
“Sean’s either setting us up for something revolutionary or he’s just having fun,” said ESPN analyst Mina Kimes. “But either way, he’s got everyone talking. And that’s vintage Payton.”
As speculation continues to swirl, Saints fans are left with more questions than answers. Is this a publicity stunt? A cryptic prediction? Or could Moore be involved in a revolutionary shift in player roles and titles?
Regardless of what comes next, one thing is certain: Sean Payton still has the power to shake up the NFL—and leave the Who Dat Nation scratching their heads.
“Maybe it’s a joke, maybe it’s genius,” said fan Jamal Broussard outside the Caesars Superdome. “But with Payton, you never really know until it’s already happened.”
