Moore, 36, told reporters this week that he enjoyed meeting Saints general manager Mickey Loomis and speaking with the team, but declined to elaborate on the talks with the Eagles preparing for the Super Bowl. New Orleans, too, cannot officially hire Moore until the big game ends. But Moore has emerged as the team's top candidate after a lengthy search that included several options withdraw from consideration.
Kellen Moore's one season spent as the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive coordinator will earn him a promotion. The New Orleans Saints are planning to finalize a deal to hire Moore as their new head coach as soon as Monday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday on NFL Gameday Morning. Rapoport added that Moore will fly back to Philadelphia with the Eagles after Super Bowl LIX before beginning the process to finalize his hiring.
So, it’s possible that Moore lives out his dream of becoming a Super Bowl champion by beating the Chiefs on Sunday then trumps that moment on Monday or the days following when he becomes the head coach of the team that plays in the very stadium where he’ll be coaching.
