The first move: Saints part ways with assistant coach Dan Roushar

The New Orleans Saints have officially parted ways with long-time assistant coach Dan Roushar. Roushar, who was relieved of his duties on Wednesday, was first hired by the organization in 2013.

Roushar came to New Orleans after nearly three decades coaching college programs, concluding with an offensive coordinator stint with Michigan State in 2011 and 2012. He began his tenure with the Saints as a running backs coach in 2013.

His role changed multiple times as an assistant under Sean Payton. After two seasons as the running backs coach, he was the tight ends coach for one season (2015) before moving to offensive line coach for five seasons (2016-2020).
