2014 Season
The Saints were one of 16 teams to play in the inaugural NFLHC season. QB Allan Taylor led the Saints to 5 wins but the team ultimately missed the playoffs in year one under head coach bingo415.
2015 Season
Year 2 for New Orleans saw them move on from Allan Taylor for Jaguars QB Kareem Taylor. The Saints feared for Allan's long-term health after his injury cost them a playoff shot. Kareem wasn't able to hit the highs that Allan did and the Saints fell to a 5-9 record, tied for the worst record in the NFC.
2016 Season
The Saints would move on to their 3rd QB in 3 years after QB Aaron Devereaux fell to them at the 9th overall pick in the first round. Devereaux would lead the team to their first playoff appearance and the NFC Championship Game before falling short to the eventual Super Bowl Champions and division rivals, the Atlanta Falcons.
2017 Season
Expectations were high for New Orleans following a great 2016 campaign from Aaron Devereaux. The Saints had added a big weapon to their offense trading up to the 4th overall pick to nab WR Sean Jenkins. The Devereaux-Jenkins connection worked all year long and the Saints went 12-4 and won the 2 seed in the NFC. The Saints would fall short of the Super Bowl yet again as they were defeated by the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship game by the score of 19-13.
2018 Season
Following a disappointing end to the Saints best season in history, Head Coach Bingo415 left to takeover a struggling Broncos franchise and the Saints championship window seemed to be closing as Aaron Devereaux was not able to have the same success under new HC vtgorilla and he missed the playoffs for the first time in his career and the Saints ended in the middle of the road with a 7-9 record.
2019 Season
2019 was another tumultuous season for the Saints front office as both HC vtgorilla was replaced by HC ImposterCauster and DeanDean1998 took over the reigns at GM. Devereaux wasn't able to bring back the magic from his first two years and the Saints missed the playoffs again finishing with a 6-10 record. [6]
2020 Season
With the new front office and a new culture firmly in place to begin the season, the team and fans alike were hopeful that the Saints were truly on the road to recovery. But the Saints fell well short yet again and missed the playoffs for a 3rd straight year ending with a 5-11 record.
2021 Season
Fans were angry with GM DeanDean1998 for not getting enough talent for Aaron Devereaux and he resigned at the end of the 2020 season. HC ImposterCauster would move off the field and into the front office taking over GM duties while vollmagnet would take on the HC Position. The Saints would finish with their best record in years but ended just one game out of playoff contention finishing with a 9-7 record
2022 Season
The Saints saw further improvement under HC Vollmagnet in his 2nd year. They finished with a 10-6 record, good enough for 2nd best in franchise history. Unfortunately for Saints fans, it still wasn't good enough to reach the playoffs and the Saints missed out for the 5th consecutive year.
2023 Season
HC Vollmagnet abruptly left the team citing health concerns, and the Saints were forced to find a new HC yet again. Lucas was hired from the Cleveland Browns and led the Saints to a 3-12-1 record in his first year. Fans hope for more in year 2 as Aaron Devereux's championship window is running out.
2024 Season
The Saints Front Office underwent changes yet again with Neo and Imposter leaving. Former Vikings Owner and Giants HC iliveinadreamatorium would step into the GM position following the 2024 NFLHC Draft. Owner/HC Lucas will begin his second season with the Saints, but it will be his first year in the Ownership role.
