The New Orleans Saints are hiring Mario Jeberaeel as the team's new offensive run game coordinator, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
A Las Vegas native, Jeberaeel joins the Saints after most recently serving as a defensive assistant for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He will take a key role on the coaching staff under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as the team looks to overhaul its offensive approach for the upcoming season.
The addition of Jeberaeel is a strategic move for the Saints, as he brings a unique defensive perspective to the offensive side of the ball. His experience studying defensive structures in Jacksonville is expected to assist Kubiak in designing more effective rushing schemes to revitalize the New Orleans ground attack.
Jeberaeel has steadily climbed the NFL coaching ranks, and his appointment helps finalize a revamped offensive staff in New Orleans. Further details regarding the specific responsibilities within the coaching hierarchy or the length of the agreement have not yet been made public.
