Seems like the Chiefs and the fans jinxed themselves by talking too much about the 3-peat. Because the Eagles absolutely destroyed their juju with a 40-22 win in the SB LIX. When everyone was doubting Nick Sirianni’s leadership, he went ahead and gave silent uppercuts to every criticism, with a Lombardi. He wouldn’t be able to do it alone if he was not backed up by Vic Fangio controlling the defense and Kellen Moore taking care of the O-line. Yes, there is no denying the fact that defense acted as the walls of Babylon, but the O-line was none less than a Spartan army. Defensively speaking, it was getting hard for Patrick Mahomes and Co. to push past them. The interceptions made it difficult for them to make the right move. But geez, the O-line, orchestrated by Kellen Moore, was going crazy.

Now the big night is over, and teams in need of a HC will be wanting to hire this young coach. I mean, why not? In just one year, Kellen helped the team grasp a Super Bowl ring. Well, news has just come into the light that the Saints might hire him as their new HC. Wow, that’s a great gig, isn’t it? But we all know how Nick is—he’s a little emotional. So when he got the news of Kellen leaving for another gig, he had a five-word plea for his mate. As the green confetti rained down in the stadium, Nick stood at the podium and said, “Let’s run this s— back, Kellen.

We believe it’s that time when you don’t leave the team, but stay and strengthen it more. Kellen Moore must inhale the fact that the trio won their first Super Bowl together. This should be enough reason to do more for the team. But apparently, his thoughts are lurking to find a new home. As he already sat in two interviews with the Saints. After traveling to New Orleans for the Super Bowl, it’s likely he’ll stay there to accept the job. Unless this championship win makes him rethink his decision. Plus, with the Saints offering potentially double or even triple his current salary, the financial aspect might be too tempting to ignore.

It’s clear Nick doesn’t want his OC to walk away just yet. The Eagles finished eighth in total offensive yards and seventh in points per game under Moore, proving how vital he is to the team’s success. Why would anyone really want to leave a Super Bowl-winning team for a team that hasn’t even reached the playoffs in four years? Will loyalty win, or will the opportunity be too good to pass up? That’s the real question. Until then, we can just sit back and enjoy the buzz all over the internet about this exit.

What people are saying about Kellen Moore’s potential exit?

If you’ll just go and have a quick look over the internet about this news, you’ll know people are not digging the idea of it. In an X post, former NFL player Darius Butler also shared his views. “I know how hard it is to turn down 1 of 32 Head Coaching jobs in the NFL but…NO WAY in hell would I leave this Eagles team to take that Saints job if I’m Kellen Moore.” What Darius said is not an exaggerated feeling, but a well-thought-out one. If Kellen Moore really wants to try a new path, he should wait and be better for more opportunities.

What’s your perspective on:

Should Kellen Moore stay loyal to the Eagles or chase the Saints' tempting offer?

Have an interesting take?

A fan wrote something similar on X, “If Kellen Moore returns to Philly, he immediately becomes the #1 head coach option for next season and would likely find himself in a much better situation than the New Orleans job.” And that’s absolutely true, isn’t it?

Another fan gave a very solid suggestion for this scenario: “I know it’s hard to get a head coaching gig and that there are no guarantees, but if I’m Kellen Moore, I’m not leaving this Eagles team for New Orleans. I’d Ben Johnson this and wait for a better situation to pop up next year.” Well, Kellen Moore better consider thinking like this. Just like Ben Johnson, who was the OC of the Lions, got himself the right place as an HC with the Bears. Maybe Kellen can do the same.

Some fans on the internet are clearly against him taking the head coaching job: “You truly believe that Kellen Moore is ready to be a head coach? I don’t think so.” I mean, they’re not wrong—he’s just seven years in as a coach with no experience as an HC.

Many are echoing the same sentiment, “Kellen Moore really got to put that ego to the side. Stay in Philly.” Maybe because he knows how to work with Nick as the HC, he will face issues if he moves away from Philly. And one fan even wrote a funny tweet saying, “Kellen Moore fr gonna leave the Eagles to go coach that poverty a– Saints franchise?” In the end, it’s his decision how he will shape his career.
