Eagles RB coach Jemal Singleton is gaining interest from the Saints for OC Opening

New Saints head coach Kellen Moore reportedly has interest in another Philadelphia Eagles assistant coach for New Orleans’ vacant offensive coordinator position.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Saints interviewed Eagles running back coach Jemal Singleton for the position with one Eagles official calling him a "big part of what we do on offense and a rising star going forward."

Singleton marks the fourth Eagles coach to find his name in the mix for a position on Moore's staff. In addition to Singleton, the Saints have been reported to have interest in Eagles QB coach Doug Nussmeier, passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo, and defensive backs coach Christian Parker.

Patullo is also expected to be one of the top candidates to replace Moore in Philadelphia as the Eagles' new offensive coordinator. He has been with Nick Sirianni all four years in Philadelphia and would likely be the play-caller here in Philly, something he would not be in New Orleans.

Singleton has spent the past four seasons in Philadelphia as the team’s running backs/assistant head coach and has been an NFL coach since the 2016 season.

He’s been a big piece to the Eagles' rushing attack, which has featured multiple 1,000-yard backs during his tenure, Miles Sanders, De'Andre Swift, and Saquon Barkley who rushed for over 2,000 yards.
