Former Boise State Broncos quarterback Kellen Moore is the winningest QB in college football history after amassing a record of 50-3. Since his college days ended, Moore has had a fairly successful run as an assistant coach in the National Football League. Most recently, he spent last season as the offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers. Prior to that, Moore spent five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys as the team's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Now, it appears that Moore will be taking his expertise to the NFC East.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported this weekend that Moore will become the Philadelphia Eagles' new offensive coordinator. Moore will replace Brian Johnson in the role after the Eagles fired him earlier this week.
Another big assistant move in Philadelphia: Eagles are hiring former Chargers and Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore as their offensive coordinator, per sources.

The move for Moore also comes after the Chargers fired 2023 head coach Brandon Staley, and replaced him with former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh. The Chargers went 5-12 in the 2023 season.
Moore will look to recapture the magic of his time with the Cowboys, who scored 27.7 points per game under his direction. The Chargers scored 20.4 points per game in 2023, while Philadelphia scored 24.6.
