tom benson, a successful automobile dealership owner and banker, acquired the franchise in 1985, and hired jim finks as general manager and jim mora as head coach. that combination provided the saints with their first-ever winning record and playoff appearance, going 12–3 in 1987, which had one fewer game than normal due to a players' strike. another playoff berth would follow in 1991, and the club's first division title came in 1991. during mora's tenure, the saints made the playoffs four times, with teams marked by strong defenses led by the "dome patrol" linebacking corps, but they were never able to win a playoff game. mora coached the saints until the middle of the 1996 season, when he stepped down halfway through the 3–13 season. his 93 wins were three more than the saints won in their entire history prior to his arrival, and would remain the most for any saints coach until 2016.
