Kellen Moore is the clear front-runner for the New Orleans Saints.
The Eagles offensive coordinator is expected to receive a formal job offer after Sunday’s Super Bowl LIX matchup, which he’s likely to accept.
Nick Underhill reports that Moore will fly back to Philadelphia with the Eagles before beginning the process of accepting the Saints’ head coaching position.
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.

Like Jonathan Gannon after Super Bowl 57 in Glendale, Arizona, the assumption was that Saints brass would ensure that Moore doesn’t leave New Orleans after the Eagles face the Chiefs on Sunday night.
After a historic career at Boise State, Moore served as the Cowboys’ backup quarterback from 2015 to 2017 before taking over as quarterbacks coach in 2018. Dallas promoted him to offensive coordinator the following season, and he held that job through 2022.
This season, Philadelphia finished eighth in total yards, seventh in points, and second in rushing yards, but it had a league-low in passing attempts.
