The Philadelphia Eagles are soaring into Super Bowl LIX like Maverick in Top Gun – all ready to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in a high-flying rematch. With the Eagles’ offense lighting up scoreboards like it’s a Hollywood premiere, earning a whopping 6,242 total yards, 463 points (27.2 ppg), and a ground game that’s churned out 3,048 rushing yards at 4.9 ypc, Philly’s making sure everyone’s talking. But while Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley prep for their Endgame-level showdown, offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is caught in a Friends-style “WE WERE ON A BREAK!” drama—because the New Orleans Saints are eyeing him like a last-call slice of pizza.

Let’s break it down: The Saints’ 2024 season was like a Stranger Things plot—glowing upside-down vibes after a 5–12 crash. They kicked off with a Week 1 John Wick-style massacre (47–10 over Carolina) and a Week 2 beatdown of Dallas that had Jerry Jones crying into his Stetson. But then? A seven-game losing streak, Dennis Allen’s firing, and fans screaming “THIS IS SPARTA!” into the void. Enter Moore, the Eagles’ 35-year-old OC with a 94% Vegas shot to fix NOLA’s offense. But with Philly’s 367.2 YPG (8th in NFL) and a rushing attack hotter than Travis Kelce’s podcast takes (2nd in the league at 179.3 YPG), Moore’s playing it chill: “I don’t have to worry about a single thing except this opportunity.”

Moore’s no stranger to underdog stories. A former Boise State legend turned NFL backup (shoutout to Dak Prescott’s 2017 shadow), he’s now the architect of an Eagles offense that turned Saquon Barkley into a Forrest Gump montage—2,005 rushing yards, 13 TDs, and a “Run, Saquon, RUN!” highlight reel. But let’s keep it a buck: Philly’s passing game (29th at 187.9 YPG) was drier than a Breaking Bad desert scene. “You build around your players,” a zen-like Moore said. “Surround yourself with opportunities to get those guys in those situations.” Translation: When you’ve got a 6’8”, 365-lb human skyscraper like Jordan Mailata pancaking defenders, you run. A lot.

The Saints’ front office is drooling over Moore’s résumé like it’s a Popeyes biscuit. Pair Alvin Kamara’s shifty jukes with Derek Carr (if he stays)—a QB Moore battled in college—and suddenly, the Superdome could be cooking gumbo and touchdowns. “Tons of respect for him,” Moore said of Carr, though we all know NFL respect lasts as long as a TikTok trend. But Moore’s got deeper Louisiana ties than most. His time at the Manning Passing Academy? Let’s just say Archie Manning texts him more than Cooper.

Moore’s players, meanwhile, are singing his praises like he’s the star of a Hamilton revival. “He’s the worst coordinator I’ve ever had,” joked Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata, before adding, “Kellen’s been the best. He’s done a great job setting up plays, explaining the schemes and the whys behind certain motions, and formations. It’s a magical thing. It’s no wonder why he’s a finalist to be a head coach here.” If Moore lands the Saints gig, he’ll bring his play-calling passion to NOLA, saying, “Certainly it’s a passion of mine, something that had gotten me to this place. You hate to stop doing what you love as you go through this journey.”

Sirianni’s Smooth Operator era

While Moore’s future balances delicately on a cliffhanger, Nick Sirianni’s racking up wins like he’s playing Madden on rookie mode. Sirianni’s future? Owner Jeffrey Lurie’s got it locked tighter than a poker face: “His future is going to be great. We never talk about contracts publicly in 30 years, so I’m not going to start now, but he’s great.” Four straight playoff trips, a 48–20 record since 2021, and a locker room that vibes like Ted Lasso’s Diamond Dogs.

His secret? Quotes smoother than a diss track verse: “You can’t be great without the greatest of others.” Even Lurie’s playing it coy, refusing to spill contract tea but at the same time hinting at an extension like a West Wing walk-and-talk. So let’s talk dough: Sirianni’s $7M/year deal is couch-cushion money compared to Andy Reid’s $20M bag. Yet, with Hurts slinging 13 TDs and Barkley bulldozing defenses, Sirianni’s built a juggernaut that’s just one win from immortality. “Getting to the Super Bowl would be ‘pretty dope,’” he said—a line so Philly, it deserves its own cheesesteak.

Sirianni’s leadership style is a mix of Remember the Titans inspiration and Moneyball analytics. He’s all about accountability, saying, “Whatever the product on the field, if we make a mistake, it’s not on the player, it’s always on me and me first.” And his players? They’d run through a wall for him. “Our greatest motivation is to play for each other. This team loves each other,” Sirianni said.

As for Hurts, Sirianni’s got his QB1’s back like he’s family: “I don’t want anyone else leading this team at quarterback—other than him.” The Eagles’ offense, under Sirianni’s guidance, has been a well-oiled machine, ranking 7th in scoring (27.2 PPG), with 53 Total TDs & 3,194 passing yards at 7.9. As Super Bowl Sunday looms, Moore’s juggling act—“pure focus” on KC vs. flirty eyes with NOLA—is peak House of Cards. But if Mailata and the O-line rock the way to glory, Moore might swap Philly’s grit for Bourbon Street’s glitter.

And Sirianni? He’ll keep preaching “play for each other” while Lurie quietly slides him a contract extension. Because in Philly, it’s about rings, not rumors. Now, about that Mahomes guy… Cue the credits—and maybe a post-credits scene of Jason Kelce chugging a beer in Mardi Gras beads.🦅🏆
