I’m told that Kellen Moore is expected to fly back to Philadelphia with the Eagles after this game, and then the process for becoming the next Saints head coach will continue after that.

There is something of a new development in the New Orleans Saints head coaching search, as their primary candidate Kellen Moore will be flying back home with the Philadelphia Eagles following Super Bowl LIX, per NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill. Given the game is being held in New Orleans and played at the Saints’ home stadium, it had been speculated Moore may stay behind to try and work out a deal first. But this will not be the case.
Whether Moore is celebrating a championship win with his teammates or working on exit interviews, he’ll put a pin on this Eagles season before turning attention back to the Saints.
This gives New Orleans some time to prepare for what could be the final meeting, and when it comes down to it, what they hope is the discussion that gets things over the line. While they cannot hire him until after the Super Bowl anyways, he has become the far-and-away favorite for the job as the Saints will be the last team of the cycle to hire a head coach.
