[Saints 318]

Wait, I thought the coaches fly to the team not the other way around?

Report: Saints to fly to Philly as soon as Monday for in-person interview with Kellen Moore

Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore will find out who he's facing in the Super Bowl in the next few hours, but he may also be making some time to prepare for a head coaching interview.

its happens.. but we on desperate to get a in person interview with him

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Getting desperate maybe?

Yeah that was my thought. And I’m not bashing the team, maybe it’s pretty common and I just didn’t know.

If this is the guy they want, this is a very smart way to kick off the relationship by the Saints. If this ends up with Kellen Moore as our coach, Mickey Loomis will deserve recognition for handling this the best possible way.

 

[JackDiesel]

Getting desperate maybe?

I feel like it's also a respectful thing to do for a coach about to go into the Superbowl. Maybe a bit of both.

I think it's going to happen. A second interview doesn't happen unless a coach has serious interests. Saints only team left. I'm a big believer in Moore

 

[jasonsw]

Yeah that was my thought. And I’m not bashing the team, maybe it’s pretty common and I just didn’t know.

But you gotta look at it this way, Moore has a SB to prep for, then the zoo that is media week. And if he accepts the Saints job a move to plan for

Is it normal for a team to fly to interview a coach? Is it the other way around?

He'll be 30. We can't keep planning on a guy who in his 20s doesn't hold up over a season.

I'd rather him as a weapon than an every down back.

Yeah, Kamara was never supposed to be a RB1, He is best in his 17-20 role. He is far superior as a pass catcher and an in space RB.

 

[WilliamBrees]

gives me a young sean payton vibe. a bit goofy and a bit of an up and down coordinator resume.

He's under 40 though. Sean wasn't when he was HC.

 

[los226]

I’ve never believed in Moore, but we’ll see because it’s highly likely this is the guy if they’re flying to him.

“I’m happy for him and whatever happens, happens,” Mailata said. “But then again, with all those interviews lined up, I’m not surprised. The schemes are just bulletproof. He likes to play chess and use the long game, using one play to set up other plays up. Honestly, it’s a pretty fun thing to see when you’re actually executing the plays. There is a lot of tactical warfare going on there. For me as a player this year, he’s kind of opened my eyes to play-calling a little bit more, understanding why he’s calling certain plays and why certain formations marry up with other formations.”

This Eagles coach plays ‘chess’ on the field and could be doing so as a head coach next season

Eagles offensive coordiantor Kellen Moore has three head coaching interviews over a two-day stretch, with one NFC East rival interested in him returning to their team.

I could have sworn he was talking about a young Sean Payton with “using one play to set up other plays….”

That’s not a bad thing at all.

He'll be 30. We can't keep planning on a guy who in his 20s doesn't hold up over a season.

I'd rather him as a weapon than an every down back.

I get that but you have Jeanty #1 and Miller #2. You are paying Kamara a lot of money on a new contract so you have to get him touches.

We are already paying $10 million to Hill to play a limited number of touches.

 

[St. Widge]

I could have sworn he was talking about a young Sean Payton with “using one play to set up other plays….”

That’s not a bad thing at all.

Yep. That was/is Payton's magic as a play caller. He so often set up stuff with calls earlier in the game. Lot of those reverses that he ran that went nowhere were later used to freeze the defense with a fake reverse.

Dude was a starting QB in college, won the most games of any college QB, and took Boise State to the Fiesta Bowl back when stuff like that didn't happen. He was also a backup QB in the NFL for several years fairly recently so he understands the dynamics of NFL rosters. I don't know if he's a Tomlin level leader, but he has to be some kind of leader to do that. He's also a coaches son so I'm sure he understands the importance of leadership.

I hope he is the guy, he's been earning his skin in the game for a few years and this could be the perfect union.
