The New Orleans Saints have completed an in-person interview with Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore for their head coaching position. This was via an announcement from the team on Tuesday morning.

New Orleans flew into Philadelphia to meet with Moore, who is in his first year with the team. The Eagles advanced to Super Bowl LIX with a 55-23 win over Washington in the NFC Championship game on Sunday.

Moore, 36, is one of the hotter names in this year's coaching cycle. Meanwhile, the Saints are the last team without a head coach at the helm.

New Orleans has also held in-person interviews with Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, and their own special teams coordinator/interim coach Darren Rizzi.

Kellen Moore has hired his first assistant coach from outside the New Orleans Saints’ staff directory, but it’s someone who has had success here before. NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill and Mike Triplett report that Brendan Nugent is coming back to the Crescent City.

The New Orleans Saints search for a new head coach started on January 6th and ended on February 11th as Philadelphia Eagles OC Kellen Moore was named the 19th head coach in franchise history.

Social media had been buzzing since there were first reports of mutual interest between the two. On Sunday, the Eagles won the Super Bowl, which just added more fuel to the fire. While fans were anxious, the Saints took their time, patiently waiting to get their guy. Then on yesterday, the announcement was made official. Moore was headed to New Orleans.

The New Orleans Saints coaching staff under head coach Kellen Moore is now officially coming together. Keith Williams, who was hired last season as the team’s wide receivers coach, will in fact remain in that role for the 2025 season under first-year head coach Kellen Moore.

For the second year in a row the New Orleans Saints are moving to a new offensive system. Even before New Orleans hired Kellen Moore, the writing was on the wall. Klint Kubiak saw it and jetted to the Seattle Seahawks.

Seeing that he brought a staff with him to New Orleans and it’s only been a year, it makes sense that Kubiak take many of those guys to the pacific northwest with him.

Quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko has already followed and it appears Rick Dennison could be next in line. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, the Saints have granted Dennison permission to...

Head coaches are largely judged by their ability to win games and how their side of the ball performs. Dennis Allen, for example, lacked success, but his hot seat broke the thermometer as his defense began to falter.

Most prospective head coaches enter with an expertise on offense or defense. Kellen Moore has found success as the Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator, but he took the New Orleans Saints head coaching job after the Super Bowl.

The Eagles being in the Super Bowl at all was a sign to Marques Colston that Moore was “obviously doing something right.” While it does take...

By announcing a deal with Kellen Moore on Tuesday, the New Orleans Saints made Moore the youngest head coach in the NFL at 36 years old. He’ll turn 37 in July and is also the youngest head coach in Saints franchise history.

Moore would edge Demario Davis by just six months to be the oldest player on the team. His collegiate career overlapped with Derek Carr and Tyrann Mathieu. Davis and Moore were in the same 2012 draft class, and Cameron Jordan turned pro a year sooner in 2011. Moore isn’t far removed from some of the veteran leaders

Kellen Moore’s ascension was expeditious. He started out as the Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback coach in 2018 and became their offensive coordinator in the following seasons. His four-year run as the Cowboys coordinator was one year stints with the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles.

Over that six-year span, Moore worked with Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert and Dak Prescott. All three of these quarterbacks had a good amount of mobility. Hurts was a true dual-threat quarterback, but the ability to run has been a constant for Moore’s quarterbacks.
