Good hire. He brings some experience and familiarity with the organization. Plus he'll continue Griffin's development. Pretty much a no-brainer.

haha
I don't know about that. Maybe so but he knows all the staff and has worked with Drew and RG4 - it is just a perfect fit really.

Tulane QB Coach Mike Neu headed to Saints
Not disliking the hire, but wouldn't you want to bring in someone as a QB coach who can teach new things or bring something new to the table. Can this guy tell Peyton, Drew or RG4 anything they don't already know?
ALSO, we need a new OL Coach!

Neu was a member of the Saints' “extended family” at Tulane, where he worked under former Saints receivers coach Curtis Johnson. Neu also served as a college scout for the Saints from 2009-2011. Before that, he served as the head coach of New Orleans' Arena Football League team -- the VooDoo -- from 2004-2008, when the franchise was owned and operated by Saints owner Tom Benson and the Saints' front office.
Not only that, but Neu already has a close relationship with the Saints' young developmental quarterback Ryan Griffin, who played at Tulane before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent last year.
The Saints are high on Griffin's potential -- they signed him to the active roster last season as a No. 3 quarterback to prevent him from signing elsewhere. Griffin will have a good opportunity to compete for the No. 2 job this offseason -- one that could be enhanced by working with Neu.
Obviously Neu won't be asked to reinvent the wheel as the Saints' quarterbacks coach. He'll be joining one of the NFL's elite groups of offensive minds -- coach Sean Payton, offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael and quarterback Drew Brees. It will make for a smooth transition, though, since everyone has a longstanding relationship with Neu and a respect for his work. Payton has mentioned Neu in the past as someone whose opinion he trusts in talent evaluation.
When asked about signing Griffin last year, Payton said, "Mike Neu is someone I felt was always good at evaluating that position when he was scouting it for us. And now he's coaching him, and he's high on him. So I'm excited about him. I'm anxious to see how he does."

Is he coming back to the staff as a coach or scout? I hate to be debbie-downer here, but Tulane's QB play was downright atrocious last year.

I don't think position coaches focus on making players significantly better, rather their main job is game planning and other specific nuance details of the position.

This was my first thought on this as well.

Well, look what he had to work with. He may have actually overachieved with Devin Powell and Nick Montana.
