Eagles Hire Kellen Moore As Offensive Coordinator

Just two days after the Philadelphia Eagles hired a new defensive coordinator in Vic Fangio, the Eagles hired former L.A. Chargers and Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore on Saturday.

After four years with the Cowboys, Moore spent just one year with the Chargers and will leave a key vacancy for their new head coach and recent national champion Jim Harbaugh to fill.

At 35, he is fairly experienced in creating passing schemes, game-planning and calling plays, something Eagles fans did not approve of in Brian Johnson, who was taking on these responsibilities for the first time in his coaching career. Moore spent time coaching Dak Prescott and Justin Herbert in his previous jobs, so he’s no stranger to coaching elite-level quarterbacks. However, he will need to adjust to a different skillset in Jalen Hurts, who is a more mobile quarterback with different strengths compared to Prescott and Herbert.

Eagles fans had a bone to pick with Johnson during their 1-6 run to end the season and first-round exit in the playoffs. Something changed in the offense after their 10-0 start, and the Eagles will hope that Moore can restore and maintain some of that offensive production heading into the 2024 season. He is a favorable option compared to Kliff Kingsbury and Jerrod Johnson, two other candidates for the position.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirriani proved himself by building an offense around Hurts since he joined the team. He’s faced challenges before and overcame them, but next year, he will need to adjust to new play callers and build a different offensive scheme, especially with the coming retirement of their all-pro center and leader, Jason Kelce.

The loyalty of Eagles fans is strong, but their hate for the Cowboys often proves itself even stronger. Let’s see how they react to a former Cowboy sitting at the helm of their offense next year.
