The New Orleans Saints have dismissed run game coordinator T.J. Paganetti, according to a report published Monday by Skyler Landry of The Lead. The move comes after Paganetti was photographed during a joint practice against the Los Angeles Rams at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, on August 14, 2025.
Paganetti served as the team's run game coordinator, a role responsible for designing and implementing the rushing attack. The Saints' decision to part ways with him raises questions about the direction of their offensive strategy, though the organization has not publicly detailed the specific reasons for the firing.
The timing of the dismissal, announced in early November 2026, suggests the move may be related to regular-season performance rather than preseason evaluation. New Orleans has not yet announced a replacement for the position.
