Stacy Revere/Getty Images(METAIRIE, La.) — The New Orleans Saints fired three assistant coaches on Friday and the future of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan remains to be seen.
New Orleans parted ways with tight ends coach Terry Malone, receivers coach Henry Ellard and assistant secondary coach Andre Curtis, the NFL Network reports.
“My family and I have loved making New Orleans our home for past nine years,” the longtime coach Malone said in a statement Saturday. “We have always felt like part of the family with the Saints, in the community, in the schools and in our Catholic Church. Never dreamed we would have all four of our kids graduate from high school here, two LSU grads and a Super Bowl experience … The Malones are truly blessed! Now we start our next chapter, but will always consider Nola home. God Bless.”
The Saints defense finished 31st in points allowed under Ryan’s watch and failed to make the playoffs.
