Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is expected to become the New Orleans Saints’ head coach, barring any unexpected developments, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Moore has been the top candidate for the vacant Saints job since completing a pair of interviews with New Orleans last month.
The Saints are the last NFL team with a current head coach opening. They fired Dennis Allen during the season, with special teams coach Darren Rizzi filling in on an interim basis.
Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury opted not to pursue the Saints job, and Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady opted to stay in Buffalo instead of pursuing a second interview with New Orleans. A third candidate, Aaron Glenn, interviewed virtually with the Saints but was ultimately hired as the head coach of the Jets.
But before accepting the Saints head coaching job, Moore and the Eagles are looking to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET.
