DALLAS, Texas – The letters NFL stand for National Football League, but given how fast things can change around the league, it unofficially stands for not for long. Kellen Moore, the Super Bowl LIX-winning offensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles who was hired to be the next head coach of the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, can certainly attest to that.

A decade ago in 2015, Moore was a backup quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, floating between the practice squad and the active roster, behind Tony Romo (2015 season) and Dak Prescott (2016 and 2017 seasons). Upon his retirement as a player in 2018, then-Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett hired him as his quarterbacks coach… Moore’s run to becoming an NFL head coach with the Saints had former teammate and pupil Dak Prescott gushing when asked about it at the model reveal for the 35th Anniversary Children’s Cancer Fund Gala.

“My guy. For sure, super, super, super happy for him,” Prescott said Tuesday. “Proud of him winning the Super Bowl… Showing how he’s evolved… and what he can do, and I think he’s just going to take another step in that when he gets to New Orleans.”
