Information
New Orleans Saints information, The New Orleans Saints were founded in 1967. They have had little success in the NFL since that time. They are currently one of three teams to never play in a Super Bowl along with the Jaguars and Texans. The Saints didn't have a winning season until 1987 when they went 12-3. The Saints finally won a playoff game in 2000 when they beat the Rams in the 1st Round of the playoffs.
2005 was another bad season for the Saints. Aside from their dismal 3-13 record the New Orleans Saints had to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Katrina devastated the New Orleans area and forced the Saints to play their home games in San Antonio, Baton Rouge, and East Rutherford, NJ. At the end of the 2005 season head coach Jim Haslett was fired by the Saints.
In 2006 the Saints moved back in the Superdome and completed the season at 10-6. They advanced all the way to the NFC Championship, where they were defeated by the Chicago Bears 39-14. For the past two years the Saints have finished out around .500. With Reggie Bush, Marques Colston and Drew Brees leading the squad, it wouldn't be surprising at all if the Saints come together for 2009 and contend in the playoffs.
