Kellen Moore’s one-season stint as Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive coordinator has earned him a promotion, with the New Orleans Saints planning to finalize their deal with him as soon as Monday. The 50-year-old coach is set to become the last head-coach opening in the NFL, following a rigorous interview process that included former Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy and Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. Moore’s hiring caps a seven-year coaching journey from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator in Dallas, with stints in Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
Moore led the Eagles’ offense to an eighth-place finish in total yards per game in the 2024 regular season, buoyed by running back Saquon Barkley’s legendary campaign. The Saints are content to wait until after Super Bowl LIX is over before making the partnership official, hoping Moore can revitalize their struggling offense that has only shown intermittent signs of improvement since 2022.
Moore’s coaching experience includes six years in the NFL and seven years overall, with stints as a quarterback in college. He takes on the greatest responsibility of his career as he prepares to team up with veteran quarterback Derek Carr.
