Eagles Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore Expected to Join the Saints Next Season

Moore is in his first year as the Eagles’ offensive coordinator. With Moore calling the plays on offense, the Birds went 14-3, won the NFC East and Saquon Barkley had the best year of his career and set multiple Eagles’ rushing records.

The Eagles’ offense ranked eighth in total yards, seventh in total points and second in total rushing yards under Moore, but they ranked 29th in the league in total passing yards, despite having elite weapons on the outside like A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

If Moore lands a head coaching job during this coaching cycle, it would be the third straight season the Eagles will be looking for a new offensive coordinator.

The Eagles lost Shane Steichen to the Indianapolis Colts head coaching gig after the team made a run to the Super Bowl in the 2022 season and Brian Johnson was fired after the team’s collapse in the 2023 season.

Before becoming Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator, Moore spent the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Chargers in the same position. He was the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive coordinator from 2019-22 and was the team’s quarterbacks coach in 2018.
