Former Rams DC Ken Flajole has joined the Saints as secondary coach.

Flajole is rejoining Steve Spagnuolo after functioning as his coordinator in St. Louis from 2009-2011. Prior to that job, Flajole had been a defensive assistant with the Panthers, Seahawks, and Packers.

The little man in my head tells me to worry about bringing in more Rams coaches; because after all, they really weren't that good.

But the kid in me, feels like I'M STANDING ON A MOUNTAIN TOP IN HOLAND! (That means happy; in case you haven't seen a York Peppermint Patty commercial)

+1

I am hoping the reason they weren't very good is because they had a severe lack of talent and that we just had bad schemes that included our DBs being left on islands for way too long...

If I remember correctly, the Rams' secondary did actually pretty well last season considering they had a lot of injuries to the projected starters - it was the run defense that was much worse than the pass defense.

The Rams' D was #8 in receiving yards allowed with 222.6 yards/game - that is over 50 yards less than what the Saints' secondary had.

The Rams' D was #23 in interceptions with 12 for the season - only 3 better than the #28 Saints.

The Rams' D was #7 in total passing yards allowed with 3,301 yards, while the Saints' D was #30 with 4,157 yards - although teams threw more against the Saints' D (for obvious reasons) with an average of 39 throws/game as opposed to the 30 throws/game for the Rams.

So, going by stats alone it seems that Spags D schemes with Flajole's coaching was better than the level at which the Saints' secondary played - especially considering they had those injuries to deal with.
