Report: Kellen Moore, Joe Brady Eyed for 2nd Saints HC Interview Amid McCarthy Rumors

Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady and Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore are each one win away from facing each other in the Super Bowl.

They may also be going against each other when it comes to landing the head-coaching job of the New Orleans Saints.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the NFC South team wants to interview Brady and Moore for a second time. The second interviews would be in person for a team that Rapoport also noted is interested in former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka.

New Orleans has been seen as a potential landing spot for McCarthy after the Chicago Bears went a different direction with Detroit Lions O.C. Ben Johnson, but Moore and Brady are the ones generating headlines at this point.

The Saints are familiar with Brady, as he was an offensive assistant with the team for two years in 2017 and 2018. Since then, he was the passing game coordinator for the national-champion 2019 LSU Tigers, the O.C. of the Carolina Panthers (2020 and 21), the quarterbacks coach of the Bills (2022 and 2023) and the O.C. in Buffalo (2024).

That means he has worked with Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, among other quarterbacks, and is someone who could help the Saints bounce back from finishing 24th in the league in points per game in 2024.

As for Moore, he also brings an offensive background to the table and could help revitalize that side of the ball.

He was the O.C. for the Cowboys for four seasons from 2019-22 before holding the same position with the Los Angeles Chargers last season and the Eagles this season.

Moore's offenses have finished in the top seven in the league in points in four of his six campaigns as an offensive coordinator, including this year in Philadelphia. Working with weapons such as Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jalen Hurts helps, but the production has been consistent at multiple stops.

As for Brady, his Bills were second in the league in scoring this season.

Either one would be seen as a boost for a struggling offense, which is surely why they are in line to get second interviews in New Orleans.
