Click to see story on profootballrumors.comThe 36-year-old Moore will have a new job for the fourth straight season, but this will be his first shot as a head coach.

Since 2019, Moore’s offensive schemes have averaged a top-five ranking in the league. He’ll be charged with turning around a 5-12 Saints team that hasn’t made the playoffs in four years.
Moore was a star quarterback at Boise State from 2007-2011, where he finished with an NCAA-best 50-3 record. He spent 6 seasons as an NFL backup before turning to coaching.
On Thursday, Feb. 6, in the run-up to the 2025 Super Bowl, he spoke about his coaching background.
“I grew up around the game. My dad was the high school coach for our team the Prosser Mustangs, had a little Friday night lights feel to it, small town out in Washington, so those were my idols growing up,” Moore said. “That’s what I wanted to be. Every day getting done with school I would go down to the football field and I was the ball boy and I just hung around those guys. That’s really what my childhood was.”
That foundation eventually led him to the Super Bowl-champion Eagles, where his offense was top eight in both points scored and total yards this past season. With Moore calling the plays, Saquon Barkley became the ninth running back in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards.
Moore becomes the youngest head coach in the NFL and replaces Dennis Allen, who was fired in the middle of his third season. Seven of the five coaches hired during this year’s NFL cycle are first-time head coaches.

Moore flew back to Philadelphia with the team after the Super Bowl but will return to New Orleans to sign his contract during the week of Feb. 10. It’s assumed he will fly back to Philadelphia for the city’s victory parade on Friday, Feb. 14, which is expected to draw over 1 million fans to the city.

It took over a month but the New Orleans Saints have their new head coach and he’s already won a certain Big Game in the Superdome.
Former Eagles Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore will be in charge of turning around the 5-12 Saints.
The 36-year-old Moore will have a new job for the fourth straight season, but this will be his first shot as a head coach. Prior to his ultra-successful season in Philly, he was with the Los Angeles Chargers for a year and the Dallas Cowboys for four seasons.
Since 2019, his offensive schemes have averaged a top five ranking in the league.
Moore was a star quarterback at Boise State from 2007-2011 and was a backup in the NFL for six years before turning to coaching. In the run-up to the Super Bowl he spoke about his coaching background.

That foundation eventually led him to the Super Bowl champion Eagles where his offense was top 8 in points scored and total yards this past season and Saquon Barkely became the ninth running back in NFL history to rush for over 2000 yards.
Moore is now the youngest head coach in the NFL, he replaces Dennis Allen who was fired in the midst of his third season. The Moore hire means this year’s Coaching Carousel has finally stopped spinning.
Seven coaches hired, five of the seven are first time head coaches.
Moore flew back to Philly with the team but will return to New Orleans to sign his contract this week, then presumably fly back to Philadelphia for Friday’s victory parade which is expected to draw over 1 million fans..
