The Philadelphia Eagles have soared this season, finishing with a 14-3 record and clinching the NFC East division title.
With their sights now set on a pivotal Wild Card matchup against the Green Bay Packers, the team is trying to stay focused despite off-field distractions.
According to reports, Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has garnered plenty of interest around the league and may soon be leaving Philadelphia for a head coaching opportunity.
Despite his name circulating in discussions about potential head coaching candidates, Moore emphasized his commitment to the task at hand.
When asked during a recent interview about the possibility of pursuing a head coaching role, Moore downplayed the speculation.
“You don’t worry about [head coach interest] too much. Really, the focus is on the week and those things take care of themselves,” Moore said.
“Obviously, those things only come to teams that usually tend to have success and are doing things well on the field. That’s where your focus is.”
Moore’s coaching resume speaks for itself, despite being occasionally overlooked in conversations about top young play-callers in the NFL.
Over his career, Moore has compiled a 67-49 record as an offensive coordinator and position coach, including a 2-3 postseason record.
He spent one season as the Dallas Cowboys’ quarterbacks coach before serving as their offensive coordinator for four seasons.
Moore has also brought his offensive expertise to the Los Angeles Chargers and now the Eagles.
The buzz around Moore’s potential as a head coach remains an interesting subplot, but he insists his energy is fully directed toward preparing for Sunday’s do-or-die playoff clash against Green Bay.
There has been concern for Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts all week long. However, it looks like he’ll be good to go for Sunday’s game.
Having said that, we know how unforgiving the NFL playoffs are.
There are no seven-game series or anything like that. It’s do-or-die, and one simple mistake can and will cost you your season.
This is why Moore and the entire team needs to be 100% focused on the task at hand.
To his credit, Moore has said all of the right things … But should Philly fans be worried that deep-down he might be a little distracted by his own personal future???
