The New Orleans Saints apparently have a new front-runner for their head coach opening. According to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones, Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is "in the driver's seat" for the role after a strong in-person interview on Monday.

Moore also interviewed with the Jacksonville Jaguars for their head coaching position, which was previously occupied by former Eagles coach Doug Pederson, on Jan. 17. He did not secure that role, either. The Jaguars hired Liam Coen, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator, as head coach on Friday.

Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has emerged as the “lead candidate” for the fill the Saints’ vacant head coaching position, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Former Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy was also in the running for the job, but he does not plan to coach this year and will instead focus on the 2026 hiring cycle, according to ESPN.
