Following a remarkable Super Bowl LIX victory with the Philadelphia Eagles, Kellen Moore has quickly transitioned to his new role as head coach of the New Orleans Saints. Reports from FOX Sports initially indicated Moore's impending appointment, which was later confirmed by the Saints organization on Tuesday.
Moore's single season as the Eagles' offensive coordinator proved instrumental in their championship run. His offensive strategies played a key role in the team's success, culminating in their Super Bowl victory against the Kansas City Chiefs.
This head coaching position marks a significant milestone in Moore's career. Despite being a sought-after candidate in previous coaching cycles, this is his first opportunity to lead a team. Before joining the Eagles, Moore served as offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys for four years and spent last season in the same role with the Los Angeles Chargers. His departure from the Chargers coincided with Jim Harbaugh's arrival as head coach.
Under Moore's guidance, the Eagles' offense ranked seventh in points scored and eighth in yards gained during the regular season. The dynamic duo of Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley fueled the team's offensive firepower, with Barkley coming close to breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record.
The Eagles' offensive prowess continued into the playoffs, ultimately leading them to Super Bowl glory. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni publicly expressed his desire for Moore to remain on his staff after the Super Bowl win, highlighting Moore's value to the team.
Now with the Saints, Moore has the opportunity to revitalize the team and guide them towards contention. His offensive expertise and leadership skills will be crucial in shaping the Saints' future success.
