Here’s another addition to the New Orleans Saints coaching staff, per ESPN’s Field Yates. Yates reports that the Saints have hired former Los Angeles Rams offensive line coach Kevin Carberry as an assistant for Doug Marrone. Carberry spent the last two years with the Rams; before that, he was Stanford’s run game coordinator and offensive line coach, having previously worked as an assistant in Dallas and Washington.
Carberry was dismissed after the Rams offensive line took a step back in 2022, and to be fair they were a mess up front. But that’s largely due to injuries that kept the unit from ever playing together as envisioned: at least three different players started games at left tackle, left guard, center, and right guard over the course of the season, with right tackle Rob Havenstein being the only starter to suit up for every game. It’s hard to coach up a group that can’t keep anyone on the field.
Maybe a full-time role being solely responsible for the offensive line was too much for him. Either way, Carberry is an experienced position coach at the pro level and he should be an asset in New Orleans working with Marrone. He’s replacing Zach Strief, who left the Saints for a promotion on Sean Payton’s coaching staff with the Denver Broncos.
