Saints Appoint Kellen Moore as New Head Coach Following Eagles' Super Bowl Triumph

Kellen Moore transitions from the Eagles to the Saints as their head coach, marking a significant step in his burgeoning coaching career.

The NFL’s 2025 coaching carousel has officially come to halt with the New Orleans Saints making the final head coach hire of the offseason. New Orleans announced it has reached an agreement with Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to be their next head coach.

This comes after the Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl LIX 40-22.

The 36-year-old Moore coordinated the Eagles to the NFL’s No. 7 scoring offense (27.2 points per game) and No. 8 total offense (367.2 total yards per game) in 2024, his first season in Philadelphia following one year as the Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator in 2023. In Moore’s attack, free agent acquisition running back Saquon Barkley became the NFL’s 2024 leader in rushing yards (2,005, making him the ninth in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season) and scrimmage yards (2,283).

Moore will now be tasked with getting the most out of four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Carr, who will be 34 years old when the 2025 season kicks off. Carr missed seven games in 2024, including the final four with a fracture in his left, non-throwing hand. New Orleans went 5-12 last season in an injury-plagued campaign.

With the ninth overall pick in the NFL Draft, there’s hope for the Saints as they seek to rebuild their franchise and return to competitiveness.
