The New Orleans Saints have requested an interview with Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore for their vacant head coaching position, NFL Network reported Monday.

In his first season with the Eagles, Moore helped the Eagles to a No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs as Philadelphia finished second in the NFL with 179.3 rushing yards per game.

Moore, 36, was the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys (2019-22) and Los Angeles Chargers (2023) before moving to the Eagles this season.

A former star quarterback at Boise State, he played three games (two starts) with the Cowboys in 2015.

New Orleans fired Dennis Allen after Week 9 and promoted Darren Rizzi to interim head coach. The team went 3-5 the rest of the way to finish 5-12.

Because the Eagles are active in the playoffs, Moore could be available for a virtual interview as early as next week, according to the report.
