Eagles Owner Confirms Kellen Moore Coaching Rumor

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl 59. They stand atop the NFL world and stopped the Chiefs from being the first team to ever 3-peat.

After falling in the Wild Card Round last postseason, the Eagles made major changes to the coaching staff. Brian Johnson was fired and Kellen Moore was brought in to replace him as offensive coordinator.

He was the engineer of this Eagles' potent offense and has emerged as the frontrunner to land the New Orleans Saints head coaching gig.

Right after the game, owner Jeffrey Lurie confirmed what fans feared.

Luried weighed in on the Kellen Moore rumors afer the game, saying that “Unfortunately, we're gonna have to wish him the very best with New Orleans. Very smart coach who was able to adapt our offense week to week (as) needed to win games.”

The Saints are the only team left in the league without a head coach and Moore is the clear favorite for the role. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Feb. 8 that Moore is expected to be the Saints head coach.

Head coach Nick Sirianni also knows that Moore is likely headed out the door and expressed his desire for him to stick around. On the podium, Sirianni said, "Let’s run this s*** back, Kellen."

This season, Philadelphia was eighth in total offense (367.2), second in rushing offense (179.3), and seventh in scoring offense (27.2).

Moore did an exceptional job creating the most production out of this unit. The 36-year-old had stops with the Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Chargers as the offensive coordinator but this season in Philly was like no other.

He put his name on the map and is trending towards being the head coach of the New Orleans Saints.

No one in the organization wants that to happen, but they understand that Moore has earned that opportunity.
