The New Orleans Saints may be waiting until Kellen Moore is done leading the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense in Super Bowl LIX to announce their next head coach.

The Saints plan on meeting with Moore again after the Eagles play the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Pelissero noted that Saints general manager Mickey Loomis told other head coaching candidates on Friday morning about the plan to move forward with Moore.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic recently reported on her Scoop City podcast that Moore could be concerned about the uncertainty surrounding whether Derek Carr will be playing for the Saints next season, but that there is a belief he has “come around” because the franchise wouldn’t expect success in his first year as head coach.

The Saints could hope to lean on a coach with a track record of offensive success as the team works out who will be starting under center.

For the Eagles, Moore’s potential departure could be concerning, and not just because it means the franchise may need to find a new offensive coordinator ahead of the 2025 season.

The fact that coaching interviews coincide with the NFL postseason sets up a potential conflict between staffers’ concentration on their current team and their focus on their next stop. The Detroit Lions, for instance, lost offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to the Chicago Bears’ head coaching vacancy less than 48 hours after the team’s upset playoff loss to the Washington Commanders.

The Eagles will hope Moore can keep his focus on overcoming the Chiefs’ defense, even while reportedly already planning his staff in New Orleans, as Philadelphia gears up for the team’s second Super Bowl in three years.
