On Jan. 6, the news broke that the New Orleans Saints would be including numerous names to their head training search. Among them, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, is Philidelphia Eagles offending organizer Kellen Moore.

While presently training for the Eagles, Moore utilized to be the OC for the Chargers and Cowboys. A young coach, he was likewise a Cowboy's quarterback as just recently as 2017.
Due to me growing up 40 minutes away from AT&T Stadium, I'm concerned about this relocation. Moore never ever appeared to be the belle of the ball for the fans or the regional media as OC. Desiring specifics, however, I asked a diehard Cowboys fan if there were any factors for his unpopularity.
“Either of the season-ending plays vs. the 49ers,” one stated.
Not rather keeping in mind the plays, I went and searched for them. And what I discovered was a play you ‘d see in a “Top 10 strange NFL plays” list.
That play would be Moore's last as the Cowboy's OC, as, according to ESPN, he and the group equally accepted part methods the next week.
It appears that my preliminary ideas may've been a bit too much, due to the fact that with Moore as OC, the Cowboys balanced a leading 10 offense– peaking in 2021. Dallas would make the playoffs two times in his period.
After being released, Moore would not be jobless for more than an hour. For the 2023 season, he would end up being the OC for the Los Angeles Chargers, according to ESPN. For LA, however, Moore might not have a 5th straight leading 10 defense and would complete near the bottom at 21. However, some plays that he called did handle to stand apart:
Here's another:
After the hiring of Jim Harbaugh in 2024, Moore would be enabled to talk to with other companies. On Feb. 5, 2024, he would be worked with by the Philadelphia Eagles.
We've all seen how great the Eagles offense has actually been this year, with Saquon Barkley restoring the running back position. In the routine season this year, the Eagles had the eighth-best offense, making it Moore's 5th time having a leading 10 offense as an OC. My concern here, however, is that the gamer's ability might be making his offending play calling look much better than it is.
This year, the Saints experienced a close-up and individual take a look at him throughout their week 3 loss versus the Eagles. In the video game, Barkley would have 147 hurrying backyards and 2 goals on 17 brings, and QB Jalen Hurts would finish 29 of 38 passes for 311 lawns and one interception. Tight end Dallas Goedert would likewise consume the Saints defense alive with his 170 getting lawns.
