The recent reports have been consistent. Nearly every insider around the NFL has relayed the concept that the next New Orleans Saints head coach will be Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
Regardless, the deal isn't done. The Eagles are practicing in New Orleans to prepare for Super Bowl LIX vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. For Moore, he certainly wants to get that win as another key piece to his head-coaching resumé.

Schefter discussed a potential, massive raise for Moore to become a head coach. He said that he will a chance to "probably triple his salary" as well as elevate to a HC position in the NFL.
