For the 2018 season, he was their quarterbacks coach. Ahead of the 2019 season, Moore was promoted to offensive coordinator by Dallas. He was the offensive coordinator from 2019-2022. During his final two seasons with the Cowboys, Dallas had back-to-back 12-5 seasons.
Kellen Moore accepted the Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator position for the 2023 season. There was turnover in LA after the 2023 season and Moore left for the Eagles.

They had one, if not the best running game in the NFL.

At that time, NFL insiders reported that Moore was likely to be the next head coach in New Orleans. First, Moore had to coach the Eagles in the Super Bowl before he could formally accept the job.
