The New Orleans Saints have wrapped the present. They now just have to put a bow on their head-coaching search that has lasted quite awhile.
Philadelphia Eagles OC Kellen Moore is the expected hire. He was asked about his potential new gig in New Orleans this past week as his current team preps for Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs.
According to Jeremy Fowler, Moore already has some names in mind for his staff with the Saints. He is focused on the big game, but he also knows he must be ready for his next step, if he is to join the Saints' staff as the next HC.
Kellen Moore's potential staff
Fowler: The NFL world anticipates Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore landing the Saints' head-coaching job, and his prospective staff is starting to come into focus. Two names I’ve heard as possibilities at defensive coordinator are 49ers assistant coach Brandon Staley and Buccaneers outside linebackers coach George Edwards. Both have history with Moore — Staley hired Moore as his offensive coordinator with the Chargers in 2023, and Moore overlapped with Edwards in Dallas.
It’s worth noting that some of Moore’s potential coaching targets — assuming he does land the New Orleans job — were hired by Dallas, including new Dallas Cowboys Matt Eberflus. (Moore also has a strong relationship with Klayton Adams, who just became Dallas' OC.) Moore has brought Eagles quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier with him to multiple stops, and he could be an option, too. — Jeremy Fowler
The insider also discussed the job with Moore during the Super Bowl's media week. Moore is confident in his abilities but knows he cannot do it alone. Players and coaches must work together if they want to create a winning product in the NFL.
Saints' superpowers
One quote really stood out to plenty of folks, via Moore, this past week.
I caught up with Moore here at the Super Bowl, and he had a good quote about his offensive philosophy: “Everyone has superpowers.” He believes it’s his job to help bring out players’ best traits because, after all, everyone has something outstanding about their game that got them to this level. That should resonate with a Saints team in transition — again, presuming he gets the job, as expected. — Jeremy Fowler
For New Orleans, they're getting one of the most well-respected young offensive minds in football currently, as long as the hire becomes complete following Sunday's game.
That is the clear expectation and prediction from tons of sources around the league, though, including Katherine Terrell and Adam Schefter.
Kellen Moore confirms suspicion about potential head-coaching role with the New Orleans Saints
All signs point to the next New Orleans Saints head coach being Kellen Moore. The current Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator and play-caller recently talked to the media ahead of Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs. Moore answered a vital question for his potential tenure as the HC for the Saints. Moore would call […]
