The New Orleans Saints are on the verge of making a transformative move by naming Kellen Mooreas their new head coach, a long-anticipated announcement that is expected to follow Super Bowl LIX. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Moore will fly back to Philadelphia with the Eagles post-Super Bowl before beginning the formalities to finalize his contract with the Saints.
For the New Orleans faithful, Moore’s hiring represents not just the end of a prolonged coaching search but also the dawn of a new era following a disappointing 2024 campaign.
Moore’s meteoric rise through the coaching ranks, punctuated by an impressive year as the Eagles’ offensive coordinator, has solidified his reputation as one of the league’s brightest offensive minds. After orchestrating a top-ten total offense in Philadelphia, buoyed by Saquon Barkley‘s legendary rushing season, Moore became the hottest name on the coaching carousel.
His journey—from his quarterbacking days at Boise State to his coaching stints with the Cowboys, Chargers, and Eagles—has been defined by adaptability and innovation. Now, the Saints are banking on that creativity to revitalize an offense that faltered in recent years. Paired with a returning Derek Carr and a roster hungry for redemption, Moore’s challenge will be turning potential into production in a city craving a return to playoff prominence.
For New Orleans, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Moore’s impending staff selections, which are rumored to include Eagles quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier and possibly defensive coordinator Brandon Staley, will be pivotal in shaping the team’s identity. The Saints’ last two seasons have tested the patience of Who Dat Nation, but Moore’s hiring signals a commitment to a fresh vision.
