The newest head coach of the New Orleans Saints had his first press conference with the team on Thursday. Kellen Moore was introduced as the new HC for the black and gold. 

He answered plenty of questions and sounded extremely well-spoken throughout the presser. His discussion about his own NFL Draft process, coming out of Boise State, was one of the coolest talking points of the day. 

Kellen Moore returns to New Orleans in unique way

According to the new head coach of the Saints, his first "Top 30" visit as an NFL prospect was in New Orleans with the team. He met Joe Lombardi and was hosted by Chase Daniel. 

In a literal sense, Moore's first NFL experience and action came with the Saints. 

Now, he joins them as the leader of their coaching staff at just 36 years of age. He's the youngest HC in the league, with plenty of obstacles to maneuver in the near and long-term future. 

Moore also discussed his mantra as a coach and how he wants his team to play. There won't be a lack of physicality or effort while he is the HC in New Orleans. 

 "It's going to be a smart, fast and a physical football team. And I know that our style is one that Who Dat Nation will be proud of." -- Kellen Moore

Moore's time in the NFL has come full circle. Now, he will try to get the Saints back on track to get to the Super Bowl for the first time in over a decade. 

Assembling a strong coaching staff and managing the roster will be at the forefront of the challenges that await Moore in the upcoming weeks and months.
