NFL head coaching candidates Mike McCarthy and Kliff Kingsbury are out of the running for the last open position in the league with the New Orleans Saints, so now Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore has emerged as the clear favorite to get the job. However, since the Eagles are still playing, he cannot officially be hired until after the Super Bowl, which might be convenient since the game is being played in the Big Easy. Hiring him ASAP right after the game could be a great opportunity for the Saints to generate some publicity for their new head coach.
Dan Patrick: “Kellen Moore can go to New Orleans and stay in New Orleans after the Super Bowl. Day after the Super Bowl, win or lose, hold a press conference and you got all of the members of the media there, get a lot of publicity for the Saints there.”
