The New Orleans Saints have hired Jim Pyne as assistant offensive line coach, it was announced today by the team. In addition, Coach Jim Haslett has promoted Jack Henry to associate head coach/running game coordinator. Henry, a coaching veteran of over 30 years who has been polishing the skills of NFL offensive linemen for over a decade, had served as the Saints' offensive line coach since 2000.

"We believe Jim can bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our offensive line," said Haslett. "I wanted to hire a bright coach who has proven skills as a teacher and who understands the fundamentals and techniques of playing up front. Jim will also have the assistance of Jack, who is one of the best offensive line coaches in the business and a wealth of knowledge. Jack's position has evolved as well, as he will use his expertise in blocking schemes and his understanding of our system to improve the production of our running game."
