Joel

Thomas

Tolzien, 37, who played quarterback in the NFL from 2013 to 2017, will join Kellen Moore’s staff in New Orleans. Tolzien was on the Dallas coaching staff with Moore two years ago. In New Orleans, Tolzien will work with Derek Carr to implement Moore’s offense after Moore led the Eagles offense to a productive season that ended with a Super Bowl championship. The Saints also added RB coach Joel Thomas, formerly of the Giants, to the coaching staff.

Thomas has been Saints running back coach since 2015 and that is his only NFL experience. You have to go back to the 2004-2005 Idaho Vandals to find his lone experience calling plays. He worked with Gannon at Louisville in the mid-2000s.
