The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to hire Kellen Moore as their offensive coordinator, according to nfl network, Brian Johnson was let go after one year in the position. Moore will be Philly’s third offensive coordinator in three years.
Moore was the offensive coordinator for the Eagles’ rival Dallas Cowboys from 2019 to 2022. He was the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2023.
After offensive struggles this season, the Eagles were looking for someone to bring a fresh approach to Jalen Hurts and company.
“We’re bringing in a guy who will bring new ideas, do the things he’s done in the past,” head coach Nick Sirianni said (via NBC Sports ) days before the new appointment. “It would be crazy not to combine some of the things we’ve done in the past here.”
Sirianni explained his approach to the new hire, saying that he is “looking for a guy who has a vision, a guy who calls the plays, a guy who is able to coach the quarterbacks “
He clearly believes that Moore could be that person.
Sirianni said it was important for his new coordinator to work closely with Hurts “to make sure we’re getting back to where we need to be.”
In his four years as offensive coordinator in Dallas, Moore’s offense ranked second in points per game (27.7) and was top-6 in offensive rankings three times. His offense ranked 21st with the Chargers.
Moore’s first coaching job was as quarterbacks coach for the Cowboys in 2018 and was promoted the following season.
The Eagles also interviewed former Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury and Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerod Johnson.
