Saints hire Kellen Moore as head coach after Eagles’ Super Bowl 2025 win

And then there was none.

After a lengthy interview process, the New Orleans Saints have chosen Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore as their next head coach, per multiple reports, agreeing to a deal that was expected for more than a week.

It was the final head coaching vacancy left.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni implored Moore to stay with the team in the moments after the Eagles’ Super Bowl triump — with some humor attached — although those cries will go unanswered.

“Kellen, you know, let’s run this s–t back, Kellen,” the Eagles head coach said as the Lombardi Trophy was presented to the team. “Let’s run this back.”

Moore spurns the opportunity to repeat as Super Bowl champions with the Eagles after he led one of the league’s best offenses that averaged 29 points per game, ranking fourth.

The Eagles will now be in search of a new offensive coordinator, with passing game coordinator and associate head coach Kevin Patullo a possible candidate.

Moore finally landed a head coaching gig after emerging as a candidate during the 2019-22 hiring cycles when he served as the offensive coordinator for the Dak Prescott-led Cowboys.

He joined the Chargers for the 2023 season before heading to Philadelphia.

Before he became a coach, Moore was a four-time first-team All-American while playing quarterback at Boise State and was the school’s first Heisman Trophy Finalist.

His staff may already be taking shape with former Chargers coach Brandon Staley, who employed Moore as his offensive coordinator during the 2023 season, emerging as the leading choice to be the Saints’ defensive coordinator, according to ESPN.

Moore will try to revitalize a Saints team that went 5-12 last season while dealing with injuries to quarterback Derek Carr and receiver Chris Olave.
