As the New Orleans Saints head coaching search enters into its final stretch, Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has become the name most linked to the job, at least among the media as well as in league circles. With so much attention on the city of New Orleans right now with Super Bowl LIX looming, many media platforms have chosen this time to share many thoughts about the possibility of Moore becoming the Saints’ next head coach.
If Chris Olave’s reaction is any indication, Moore would be a popular fit in the locker room. The Saints receiver weighed in on Moore and the idea of potentially getting a coach with experience in the big game.
“That’s huge,” said Olave, acknowledging that he’d seen Moore’s name mentioned with other candidates in this cycle. He continued, “Just to have somebody that has reached the Super Bowl and who has a possibility to win it comes in and be the next head coach, that’s huge. I’m excited to see who the next head coach is, I’m going to be a better version of myself to try and help them win.”
Olave, who is coming off an injury-riddled third year, is looking to bounce back after two straight 1,000-yard seasons to start his career. The idea of getting a young and innovative offensive mind in the building should bring a ton of excitement to a team that has struggled since the days of Sean Payton and Drew Brees. Finding someone who cannot only command a room and call an offense, but can maximize the potential of his players will be a crucial factor when it’s all said and done. It’s clear that Moore has a lot of credibility for what he’s achieved in Philly. Let’s see if the Saints can seal the deal.
