Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning coordinator, named Saints’ new head coach.
Moore steps into a Saints team struggling since Drew Brees’ retirement and Sean Payton’s exit, missing the playoffs since 2020.
The Saints’ growing interest in Moore was clear as they took longer than any other NFL team to fill their coaching vacancy this year.
Moore was the sole assistant coach from either Super Bowl team interviewed by the Saints, making him the only candidate unable to be hired until after Sunday’s game.
“I’m excited to join the New Orleans Saints and truly appreciate the trust Mrs. Benson and the entire organization have shown in me,” Moore said.
“I’m eager to take on the challenges ahead and get started. I’d also like to thank the Philadelphia Eagles for an incredible 2024 season. I’m excited for this new chapter,” Moore added.
The Saints’ move reflects a trend of teams finding success by hiring younger offensive-minded coaches.
This includes the Los Angeles Rams with Sean McVay, Green Bay with Matt LaFleur, Miami with Mike McDaniel, and Minnesota with 2024 AP Coach of the Year Kevin O’Connell—all hired in their 30s.
