Eagles' Kellen Moore Interviews for Saints HC Job Ahead of NFL Super Bowl 59

The New Orleans Saints interviewed Kellen Moore for the team's head coaching vacancy in Philadelphia on Monday night, the team confirmed Tuesday morning.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport first reported the Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator is on the team's interview list. The Saints are searching for a new head coach after parting ways with Dennis Allen in November.

The Eagles and Moore have more on their plate for now, as they head to Super Bowl LIX after defeating the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.

Following their departure from Allen, the Saints promoted special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi, who had previously interviewed for the head coaching position in 2022. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis revealed that the timeline for hiring the next coach is "dictated."

"The timetable and time frame is dictated ... mostly by the league policies and rules that we have to adhere to ... and some of these candidates are still involved in playing games, and so that'll dictate the timing," Loomis said, per ESPN's Katherine Terrell.

Moore certainly fits that description, as his focus remains firmly on the success of the Eagles franchise.

The Eagles' offensive coordinator completed a virtual interview with the Saints on Jan. 18, in addition to interviews with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys.

Moore started out in Dallas as the offensive coordinator in 2019 before taking the same position with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2023. In his first season with the Eagles, he has helped lead the team to its second Super Bowl since 2022.

The 35-year-old spent one season in the NFL with the Cowboys where he started in two games and averaged 259.7 yards per game with four touchdowns.

In addition to Moore, several other candidates have completed interviews including Rizzi, Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady and New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, per Terrell.

In addition, several others have been requested for interviews, including former Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy and Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.
