Kellen Moore's tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles is expected to end as soon as the final whistle blows at the Super Bowl LIX.
The offensive coordinator is tipped to take on the head coach role at the New Orleans Saints, with an official agreement anticipated after the Eagles' season wraps up. ESPN has reported that Moore, 36, has already shown interest in the position and is the top choice for the Saints.
The New Orleans team has been on the hunt for a new head coach since parting ways with Dennis Allen midseason. Darren Rizzi stepped in as interim coach but couldn't salvage their disappointing 5-12 season.
Moore joined the Eagles just this season, making an immediate impact and playing a crucial role in guiding the team back to the Super Bowl. Prior to his stint in Philadelphia, he was the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers and spent four years in the same role with the Dallas Cowboys.
Under Moore's leadership, the Cowboys boasted one of the NFL's most powerful offenses, ranking second in points per game during his time there.
The Saints' interest in Moore increased following an extensive coaching search. Other contenders included Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka.
Former Detroit Lions coordinator Aaron Glenn and Buffalo Bills' Joe Brady were also considered. However, Moore stood out as the preferred candidate due to his offensive prowess and quarterback development skills.
With Moore's impending exit, the Eagles will be on the hunt for a new offensive coordinator. The departure of the coach for the 2025 season could trigger a reshuffle in the team's coaching staff, particularly if he brings any key assistants with him to New Orleans.
The Eagles will have to scout for a replacement who can sustain their offensive efficiency and build on the momentum Moore has established.
