The New Orleans Saints have hired Jim Chaney to be an offensive analyst. Chaney previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Georgia Bulldogs from 2016-2018. Chaney then went on to hold the same position with the University of Tennessee from 2019-2020.
The Saints are looking to rebuild following their playoff defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. New Orleans will likely have a quarterback under center for the first time in years with the pending retirement of Drew Brees.
Jim Chaney has a lot of talent to work with in New Orleans including Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara, and a stout offensive line. Chaney brings previous NFL coaching experience to the Saints.
Chaney, a native of Missouri, has over 30 years of coaching experience including 25 seasons as a offensive coordinator at the college level.
The Tennessee Volunteers still owe Jim Chaney a significant amount of money on his contract. The Vols fired Chaney after Jeremy Pruitt’s recruiting scandal emerged this offseason.
