Kellen Moore expected to be Saints coach

It really comes down to if he wants to bet on himself. Ben Johnson could have been a HC 2 season ago. He took the gamble and waited a couple of years and then landed a pretty good job with the Bears.

To be clear I am really hoping he takes the job, and I think he will. But him and his team are stupid if there not at least thinking about waiting another cycle and seeing if his stock can rise and maybe a better opportunity opens up.

Moore has been in the interview process for HC jobs for several years already. He knows what is out there and how hard it is to get that offer. He has also learned that your star can fall as fast as it rises. He was a hot candidate for a couple years in Dallas, but likely too young to get an offer, then it fell far with the Chargers. And now it's back up with Philly. All it takes is one injury to Saquon or Hurts and suddenly Philly fans are yelling for a new OC. It's happened before in Philly in just one year.

You can bet on yourself, but sometimes failure is outside of your control. And I think winning the Super Bowl may make it easier for him to move on since he won't feel like there is unfinished business in Philly.

Doesn't mean he won't decide to wait another year, but what Johnson did was a huge gamble and by far the exception, not the rule.
