Report: Kellen Moore poaches two assistant coaches from Eagles

New Saints head coach Kellen Moore isn’t done bringing assistants over from Philadelphia.

According to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, the Saints have hired Eagles run game specialist T. J. Paganetti to be a part of Moore’s staff.

Big add for Kellen Moore’s staff. The Saints are hiring TJ Paganetti from the Eagles, according to a source. Paganetti served as a run game specialist and assistant offensive line coach for Philadelphia last season.

This is a huge move for Kellen Moore.

Paganetti has been with the organization for 10+ years and served many roles for the team. He was first hired with Chip Kelly in 2013 and left after Kelly’s firing. Paganetti returned to the Eagles in 2017 and has been Jeff Stoutland’s right-hand man ever since.

After being a major contributor to Philadelphia’s championship rushing attack, Paganetti will help Kellen Moore reshape the run game in New Orleans.

As expected, Eagles QB coach Doug Nussmeier is finalizing a deal to become the Saints’ offensive coordinator, per reports.
