The New Orleans Saints coaching staff could become a bit more royal in the next year. Of course, it involves head coach Kellen Moore's legacy in college football.
Kellen Moore can join 2026 CFB Hall of Fame class
According to reports, the Saints head coach is one of many candidates for the 2026 college football Hall of Fame class. He'll be on the ballot, along with former Saints running back Mark Ingram.
College Football Hall of Fame 2026 ballot includes Colorado RB Eric Bieniemy, Oklahoma State WR Dez Bryant, Penn State RB Ki-Jana Carter, Pitt DE Aaron Donald, Syracuse WR Marvin Harrison, Florida WR Percy Harvin, Alabama RB Mark Ingram, FSU K Sebastian Janikowski, Boise State QB Kellen Moore, Auburn QB Cam Newton, Indiana QB Antwaan Randle El, Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh & coaches Dennis Franchione, Ralph Friedgen, Gary Patterson, Chris Petersen & Tommy Tuberville -- Brett McMurphy on X
This shouldn't surprise a soul. The youngest head coach in the NFL dominated during his time as a quarterback for the Boise State Broncos.
Moore was named a first-team All-American, two-time Western Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year, and the Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year during his run as the Broncos gunslinger.
He's one of the most highly-touted QBs in the history of college football when it comes to statistics.
This is yet another cool stepping stone in Moore's football career.
The Saints are hoping that the former offensive coordinator can be an NFL head coach as well as he was a college quarterback. They took a risk on the first-time pro HC and want him around for quite awhile if he finds success in New Orleans.
