After a lengthy coaching search, the New Orleans Saints have found their new head coach: Kellen Moore, the former Boise State quarterback and rising coaching star. Moore joins the Saints after serving on the Philadelphia Eagles’ coaching staff, having previously gained recognition with the Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Chargers.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported the news late Saturday night, noting that “Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is expected to become the New Orleans Saints’ head coach, barring any unexpected developments,” Schefter wrote on X.
Moore won’t have to travel far for his new role, as the Eagles are currently in New Orleans for the Super Bowl, where they will compete against the Kansas City Chiefs later Sunday evening. His coaching journey is set to culminate with this head coaching position within a franchise that presents both challenges and opportunities. The Saints have faced some turmoil recently, but Moore’s offensive strategies have generally performed well, and New Orleans is known for its high-scoring games, providing an ideal environment for his success.
The Saints had previously considered several candidates, including Mike McCarthy, who once had Moore on his staff in Dallas. Nonetheless, congrats to Kellen Moore, and best of luck as he embarks on his first head coaching role.
