The Saints ended the season with a 9-8 record, and they are now focusing on the 2024 season. New Orleans wants to find a way back into the postseason next year, and they are making some staff moves to help the cause. On Friday, they hired Andrew Janocko to help coach the quarterbacks. The Saints ended the season with the same record as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but Tampa Bay won the tiebreaker
.
Andrew Jacocko played with the Minnesota Vikings from 2015 to 2021 before playing for the Chicago Bears for a few years. After working with Justin Fields and Kirk Cousins as coaches, he will now work with Derek Carr. Jeremy Fowler tweeted, “#Saints are expected to hire Andrew Janocko as quarterbacks coach, per sources.” “Janocko, who will soon coach Derek Carr, has collaborated closely with Justin Fields and Kirk Cousins.
Having recently concluded his rookie campaign with the Saints, Derek Carr ended with 3,878 passing yards, 25 touchdown passes, and eight interceptions. Last season, Carr was an NFL quarterback that was in the middle of the pack. It will be fascinating to watch if this acquisition helps Carr advance. At thirty-two, he has been a member of the league for ten years.
This season, the NFC South was wide open because three teams had been in the running for a while. That might very likely be the case again the next year. We’ll see if Carr can lead the Saints to victory.
