00:00Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is expected to
00:03become the New Orleans Saints head coach barring any
00:06unexpected developments this a report officially on Saturday
00:11night from Adam Schefter. But Donnie, it's really what we have
00:14known for the last two, two and a half weeks, or so Kellen Moore
00:19will get his first head coaching job will remain in New Orleans,
00:23trying to resurrect this Saints offense into 2025 and beyond.
00:28It's not a great job in New Orleans. But understand this
00:31when you could walk into that room and flash that ring and
00:33say, you guys want to be great on offense, see what I just did,
00:35I can sell that to my organization. And it was the
00:38worst kept secret over the past week and a half where everybody
00:41was bowing out for the job except for Kellen Moore. And
00:44it's a shame because we always talk about the timeline, the
00:47way the NFL offseason moves, there should be a moratorium
00:50where the end of the season to the Super Bowl, nobody can hire
00:53anybody to give everybody a fair chance at that point. Because
00:56the shame of it is the Philadelphia Eagles who probably
00:59would attract the best and the brightest to say, boy, you want
01:02to take over Kellen Moore, you put in one good year, you'll
01:04probably be a head coach as well. Everybody's already been
01:07hired. The Eagles went to the Super Bowl two years ago, lost
01:10their offensive and defensive coordinators. You saw that
01:13turned out they were a mess on offense and defense the
01:17following season before riding the ship by getting the great
01:19Vic Fangio. And it's certainly proven product in Kellen Moore.
01:22But for Kellen, I can't fault you when there's one of 32 jobs
01:26open, you'd never had a head coaching job before strike while
01:30the iron's hot. He did that Bobby Slowick was able to do
01:33that. Ben Johnson was able to do that. But hopefully, he gets a
01:37pretty clean track there down in New Orleans. But being a
01:39conquering hero now winning in New Orleans, the Super Bowl,
01:42then becoming the Saints head coach, they're probably pretty
01:44happy down there, Ben.
01:46Listen, again, it is not a great situation. Mickey Loomis has
01:49been the general manager for a very long time. A lot of people
01:53around the Saints organization, not in it, but around it. I
01:56think that needs to change to try to guide a new direction in
02:00the big easy. Kellen Moore is 36 years old, turns 37. This
02:06summer, first time head coach and a genius offensive mind in
02:10his young career as a coach around the NFL, but Donnie for
02:13Philadelphia. Now the second time playing in a Super Bowl in
02:18the last three years, this time winning a Super Bowl and having
02:21to replace coordinators after 2022. Both Shane Steichen and
02:26Jonathan Gannon depart for head coaching jobs. Now Kellen Moore
02:30becomes the head coach in New Orleans, they will have to fill
02:34the OC spot in Philly, but you would expect Vic Fangio, who is
02:39maybe the mastermind of all of this team success in the history
02:42we saw out of the Eagles would remain there as the defensive
02:46coordinator.
02:47Yes, and the good part about that is which is what the
02:50Kansas City Chiefs been able to get away with having one of the
02:52best defensive coordinators in football never get looked at for
02:54a head coaching job because maybe they think he's a little
02:56bit too old. Vic Fangio actually is all just like Jim Johnson was
03:00old in Philadelphia, but never getting that look. The Eagles
03:03are going to be a big winner because Vic Fangio is probably
03:05not going to get a head coaching job and he's probably just fine
03:08with that. So at least you have stability on the defensive side
03:11now where you don't lose both your offensive and defensive
03:13coordinators.
