**Role with the Saints**

Tolzien’s appointment as the Saints’ quarterbacks coach is a strategic move to enhance the development of the team’s quarterbacks. His previous collaboration with Kellen Moore in Dallas is expected to facilitate a seamless integration into the Saints’ offensive system. This hiring is particularly significant as the Saints are anticipated to focus on developing a young quarterback, potentially Spencer Rattler or a prospect selected in the upcoming draft. citeturn0news8
