Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni had some choice words for offensive coordinator Kellen Moore following their Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night in New Orleans.
"Let's run this s--t back, Kellen," Sirianni said postgame.
Moore is rumored to be accepting the open New Orleans Saints head coaching position following the Super Bowl, per Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz, prompting Sirianni to seemingly plead for him to stay and instead run it back for another Super Bowl next season.
After traveling to New Orleans for the Super Bowl, it's likely Moore will remain there to accept the Saints' head coaching position, unless the Super Bowl win changes his mind.
Moore, who completed two interviews with New Orleans last month, has been the team's top candidate for the role. The Saints have been careful to avoid breaking any rules, as the Eagles' season extended all the way to the final game.
Once Moore's confirmation is official, it will mark the culmination of his seven-year rise to the top. He began as quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator in Dallas, followed by an offensive coordinator role with the Los Angeles Chargers, and, of course, his current position with Philadelphia.
The Eagles ranked eighth in the league in total offensive yards and seventh in points per game, thanks in large part to Moore's efforts. As Sirianni looks to lead the Eagles back to the Super Bowl next season, he made it clear that he wants to do so alongside Moore.
However, it appears the Eagles may have to do it without him, as Moore is expected to earn more than double his current salary, with the possibility of it being tripled if he takes the Saints' head coaching job, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
After a tumultuous season for head coaches, with several being fired from their organizations, the New Orleans vacancy remains the last open position in the NFL following the mid-season dismissal of Dennis Allen.
