Saints head coach and former Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore may bring a couple more Eagles with him to New Orleans.
The NFL Network's Ian Rappaport reports that the Saints will interview Eagles quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier for its open offensive coordinator position. Nussmeier, 54, joined the Birds in 2024 after serving as quarterbacks coach for the Cowboys and Chargers in recent years.
The #Saints and new coach Kellen Moore are set to interview former #Chargers coach Brandon Staley for defensive coordinator today and #Eagles QBs coach Doug Nussmeier for offensive coordinator early this week, sources say.
Two of them top candidates.
The club also plans to interview Eagles defensive passing game coordinator and defensive backs coach Christian Parker for its vacant defensive coordinator job, reports The MMQB's Albert Breer. Like Nussmeier, Parker has only been with the Eagles for one season. The 33-year-old served as the Denver Broncos' defensive backs coach from 2021 through 2023.
The Saints are interviewing 49ers assistant HC Brandon Staley and Eagles DBs coach Christian Parker for their defensive coordinator job today, per source. They met with Vikings DBs coach Daronte Jones yesterday.
This, obviously, will be a big hire for Kellen Moore's 1st staff.
Assistant coaches on Super Bowl-winning clubs are often candidates for bigger roles with other teams. It's an unfortunate reality for the Eagles, who would surely like to retain as many coaches (and players) from their championship squad as possible.
But if this is a price the Birds pay for a Lombardi trophy, so be it. The Eagles organization will happily make the same deal every year.
