In his first and only season as the Eagles' offensive coordinator in 2024, Moore helped lead Philadelphia to their second Super Bowl title, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22. The Eagles averaged 367.2 yards per game and scored 22.1 points per game on the way to hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.

Moore spent the 2023 season in the same position with the Los Angeles Chargers, and the four prior seasons as the Dallas Cowboys OC. Moore began his coaching career in 2018 as the Cowboys' quarterbacks coach.

At Boise State (2008-2011), Moore was a four-time first-team All-American and the first Heisman Trophy Finalist in school history. Moore's 142 career touchdown passes and 14,667 yards passing each set school records, on the way to accumulating a 50-3 record as a starter. He is still the winningest quarterback in FBS history.

New Orleans went 5-12 in 2024 and missed the postseason.
