The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to make Kellen Moore their new offensive coordinator, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

The 35-year-old Moore spent 2023 as the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive coordinator. He served in the same role for four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys before joining L.A. last season.

Dallas boasted the No. 1 scoring and total offense in 2021 with Moore in the fold. Now he'll be tasked with reigniting an Eagles offense that features Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith.

The Chargers finished 18th in total yards (329.4) and 21st in points (20.4) in 2023. Quarterback Justin Herbert missed the final four games of the season due to injury, and Mike Williams and Keenan Allen also missed time due to various ailments.

Moore was made available to interview with other teams after L.A. hired Jim Harbaugh as head coach.

Philadelphia has reorganized head coach Nick Sirianni's staff following the conclusion of its campaign. Both offensive coordinator Brian Johnson and defensive counterpart Sean Desai were dismissed after the Eagles' loss in the wild-card round to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Sirianni appeared open to fresh ideas following a dismal end to the Eagles' 2023 campaign. Philadelphia suffered six losses in its final seven contests, including its first-round playoff defeat.

"Whoever the new coordinator is, there's going to be things that they bring that are going to be fresh ideas for us to help our players grow and help our players play at the top level," Sirianni said Wednesday, according to Fox Sports' Ralph Vacchiano. "I'm excited about that, the new ideas meshing with some of the old ideas."

It's unclear if Sirianni will continue to be a looming figure over the team's offensive play-calling like he has in previous seasons or give full autonomy to Moore.

The Eagles also officially named Vic Fangio as their new defensive coordinator Saturday.
