Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore just won a Super Bowl in New Orleans, and he can stay there.

The New Orleans Saints announced the hiring of Moore as head coach on Tuesday. New Orleans previously fired Dennis Allen after nine games, and Darren Rizzi served as the interim head coach the rest of the way in a 5–12 season.
