The Philadelphia Eagles might need a fourth offensive coordinator in four years. On Tuesday night, former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy decided to pull himself out of consideration, and Eagles OC Kellen Moore is at the top of the New Orleans Saints' head coaching search.

The city hosting the Super Bowl also has the only NFL team without a head coach. The New Orleans Saints' search for a new coach could wait until after the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs wrap up the big game next Sunday.
Kliff Kingsbury will remain the Washington Commanders’ offensive coordinator despite interest from the New Orleans Saints and other teams during this head-coaching cycle, according to multiple reports. Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy also will not be the Saints’ new head coach this season, according to multiple reports.
