It looks like the New Orleans Saints have found their new DC. Per reports, the team is moving ahead and hiring former Cleveland Browns DC Joe Woods.
The New Orleans #Saints are expected to name Joe Woods their defensive coordinator, per sources. Woods, the Cleveland Browns DC from 2020-22, reunites with Dennis Allen from their Oakland Raiders days.

The Saints decided to move in a different direction after losing Ryan Nielsen to the Atlanta Falcons and letting Kris Richard go. The team has found their guy in seasoned veteran Joe Woods. The 52-year-old was fired from the Browns this offseason but has over 26 years of coaching experience. While Allen will still manage the play-calling duties, Woods will be his top assistant.
Woods was the defensive back’s coach for the Denver Broncos in their Super Bowl win and has a lot of experience working with DBs, so he’ll likely have a role in developing the Saints’ secondary.
