The New Orleans Saints have expressed interest in interviewing Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore for their head coaching position. Moore's potential departure would mark the fifth play-caller change for Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts in six NFL seasons.
The Saints have requested permission from the Eagles to interview offensive coordinator Kellen Moore for their head coach ing vacancy. Moore replaced Brian Johnson, who held the job for one year after replacing Shane Steichen when he became head coach of the Colts after the 2022 season. The Eagles this year finished eighth in the NFL with 367 yards per game, seventh with 27.1 points per game, second with 179 rushing yards per game and first in time of possession at 32:23.
They tied a franchise record with 14 wins and face the Packers in a wild-card round game Sunday at the Linc.According to NFL rules, assistant coaches on teams that play in the wild-card round are not allowed to interview for head coaching jobs until three days after their team plays. So that would be a week from Wednesday for Moore. Moore retired from the NFL as a player after the 2017 season and immediately joined the Cowboys coaching staff, rising from quarterbacks coach in 2018 to offensive coordinator from 2019 through 2022. He served in the same role last year with the Chargers before joining Nick Sirianni’s Eagles staff this year. His offenses have ranked in the top 10 in scoring in four of his six years as an offensive coordinator.Moore’s name often comes up this time of year. He interviewed with the Vikings for their head coaching vacancy after the 2021 season and with the Chargers last offseason. Jane Slater of NFL Network reported that the Saints are also planning to interview Broncos senior personnel executive and long-time Stanford coach David Shaw, whose first NFL job was as an offensive quality control coach on Ray Rhodes’ Eagles staff in 1997. If the Eagles lose Moore, it would mean Jalen Hurts would have his fifth play caller in six NFL seasons. Internal candidates to replace Moore if he leaves would include quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier, running backs coach Jemal Singleton and assistant head coach and passing game coordinator Kevin Patull
