"The #Saints are finalizing a deal with Kellen Moore as their new head coach, sources tell The Insiders.
GM Mickey Loomis called other candidates today to deliver the news. At age 36, coming off a Super Bowl win with the #Eagles, Moore gets his shot to run the show."
OC from a Superbowl winning team. Just 36 years old (KOC was also 36 years old when hired by Minnesota). KOC hired 3 days after winning the Superbowl, Moore hired 2 days after.

I think the shine was restored to Moore after his stint with Philly this year...
I was impressed with the guy as an OC. He leveraged all the tools in Philly in spite of being a pass 1st & pass 2nd guy historically.
Whether he can make the move up to HC ala KOC? That's the big question. A lot of great OC/DC's flame out.
