Today, the city of New Orleans joins in celebrating the 37th birthday of Saints head coach Kellen Moore, a rising star in the NFL coaching world whose journey from small-town quarterback to leader of one of football’s proudest franchises continues to inspire fans across the country.
From Boise State Legend to NFL Sidelines
Born on July 5, 1988, in Prosser, Washington, Moore became a college football legend at Boise State before transitioning to a brief NFL playing career. But it was on the sidelines where he truly found his calling, evolving from a young offensive mind in Dallas to offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles—and now, the newest head coach of the New Orleans Saints.
The Saints’ Youngest Head Coach in History
Appointed in early 2025, Moore became the youngest head coach in Saints history at age 36. Since taking the helm, he has quickly earned the respect of the locker room, the front office, and—most importantly—the fans. With fresh ideas and a calm but determined presence, Moore has injected new hope into a fanbase hungry for playoff glory.
Birthday Wishes Flood Social Media
The Saints organization marked the special day with a post on social media, writing:
“Happy Birthday to our head coach Kellen Moore! Here’s to another year of passion, purpose, and progress! ⚜️🎂”
Fans, players, and fellow coaches echoed the message with thousands of well-wishes pouring in across platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
Moore’s Heartfelt Message to Saints Fans
Taking a moment from the celebrations, Coach Moore shared a special birthday message with the Who Dat Nation:
“I’m grateful for all the birthday wishes today—it means the world to me. This community has embraced me since day one, and I’m proud to call New Orleans home. This is more than just a job—it’s a purpose.”
Reflecting on a Transformative Year
Moore’s journey in the last year has been remarkable. After helping guide the Eagles to a Super Bowl appearance, he accepted the challenge of leading the Saints and has since overseen a culture shift that emphasizes accountability, youth development, and explosive offense.
Looking Ahead With Purpose and Pride
“Turning 37 reminds me that we’re always growing,” Moore said. “And as I enter this new year, I want to say thank you. Thank you for believing in the journey we’re building together. I promise to give my all—to this team, this city, and to the fans who bleed black and gold.”
Celebrations in the Locker Room
Inside the Saints facility, birthday celebrations were in full swing, with veteran leaders like Cameron Jordan organizing a surprise team gathering. According to sources, the team presented Moore with a custom cake shaped like a playbook, joking that it “only works if the O-line blocks.”
The Future Looks Bright in the Big Easy
As the season inches closer, Moore’s leadership is already being felt. His birthday may be a moment of personal joy, but it’s also a reminder of the new chapter unfolding in New Orleans—a chapter written by a coach determined to bring back the glory days.
