It's nearly all but confirmed that the Philadelphia Eagles will be forced to look for a new offensive coordinator this offseason. 

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday night during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore will be named the next head coach of the New Orleans Saints, "barring a setback."

"The head of the Saints organization Mickey Loomis is going to do everything in his power when it comes to this coaching hire to follow the rules and go by the book and not talk to Kellen Moore until after the Super Bowl," Schefter said. "Could it break down and they don't reach an agreement? Sure. Is that likely? No. Kellen Moore is gonna have a chance to probably triple his salary and become a head coach, one of 32.

"If the Saints were making any other move, whether it was hiring the Miami Dolphins coordinator Anthony Weaver, or New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, or their own interim head coach, what are they waiting for? Why not go hire them right now? But they're not, they're waiting. And they're waiting to talk to Kellen Moore and they're waiting to make sure they give the Eagles zero evidence that they've tampered with the guy until after the game. But the fact they don't have a coach tells you everything you need to know, of course, barring a setback he's gonna be the guy."

Moore, 36, was hired by the Eagles last offseason, and it's no surprise why the Saints are so keen on hiring him as their next head coach.

After the Eagles dropped their 2023 season, Moore helped turn things around and is one of the main reasons why the Eagles finished with a 14-3 record and NFC East Champions in 2024. In Moore's first season as the Eagles' OC, the offense finished ranked No. 8 in total yards, No. 7 in points scored, and No. 2 in rushing yards. 

With the Eagles expected to lose Moore to New Orleans, that means they will be on the search for their fourth offensive coordinator in four seasons
