Kellen Moore coaching update: Nick Sirianni reacts to potentially losing Eagles OC

The Philadelphia Eagles still have Super Bowl LIX ahead of them and it could be Kellen Moore’s last game as offensive coordinator.

Head coach Nick Sirianni knows it’s a possibility to be one and done with Moore on his staff, considering his interview with the New Orleans Saints. But all parties are ready to focus on the task at hand.

But if, or when, the time comes for Moore to become a head coach, Sirianni is quite confident in the former Boise State and Dallas Cowboys QB.

“With Kellen, and I know that there’s opportunities, potentially, you know what happens will happen, but hopefully I’ve done my job to teach him the things that I know and help him, like other coaches have helped me as far as that goes,” Sirianni said. “But I know that when Kellen does get his opportunity, I think he’s highly detailed in teaching the game of football. I think that he loves this game. He works extremely hard. He’s got a great offensive mind to help our guys, to put our guys in positions to succeed and get better. 

“And man, he’s a phenomenal person, great person to work with. That’s so important right? When we’re spending more time with each other than we are with our families, our wives, our kids. It’s important that you have good people around, and he- as good of a football coach as he is- he’s an even better person, so I got a lot of respect there. And for Kellen and we’ll see how that plays out at the end of the year.”

Moore joined the Eagles this season after being the offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2023. From 2019 to 2022. Moore was the offensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys.

The Eagles’ offense has seen a lot of success under Moore this season. Philadelphia finished seventh in scoring offense (27.2 points per game) and second in rushing offense (179.3 yards per game). Running back Saquon Barkley had a historic season, rushing for 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns in 16 games.

Moore was a quarterback in the NFL from 2012 to 2017 playing for the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Boise State and was named WAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2009 and 2010.
