That’s far from a surprise, as Moore is considered to be one of the most innovative and promising offensive coordinators in the league, dating back to his days with the Dallas Cowboys.

And with Jim Harbaugh taking over the Los Angeles Chargers, chances are that he’ll bring his own staff with him, thus leaving Moore wide open to finding a new job.

Nonetheless, the Browns aren’t going to be the only team trying to lure him.

Tom Pelissero reports that the Philadelphia Egles are also looking forward to hiring him.

With that in mind, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com shared on Twitter that Kevin Stefanski will most likely have to give up play-calling duties to get Moore to sign with the team

Stefanski has been the offensive play-caller for quite a while, and that’s supposed to be one of his biggest strengths.

Still, there 3were rumors about former OC Alex Van Pelt not being comfortable with that situation, which may have been one of the reasons behind his dismissal.

Moore is a bright offensive mind, and he even got several head coaching interviews in the past, so he’s definitely going to be highly coveted if he’s, indeed, let go by the Chargers.

The Browns need to revamp their offense and bring it into the 21st century, and he seems to be the right guy to do it, so they’ll have to convince him by any means necessary, even if that means making some sacrifices.

Browns Insider Reveals Newest Addition To The Coaching Staff

Andrew Berry told the press he didn’t want to talk about the Cleveland Browns’ coaching staff just yet.

He prefers to wait until the entire unit is in place and make one big announcement.

But that won’t stop the NFL from leaking news regarding the Browns and every other team in advance.

And one such source told Cleveland.com’s Mark Kay Cabot who will replace Stump Mitchell.

According to Cabot, the Browns will go with Duce Staley as their running backs coach.

Staley held the same position for the Carolina Panthers last season.

That team is still searching for a new head coach and staff after the midseason firing of Frank Reich.

Prior to that, Staley spent two seasons as the running backs coach for the Detroit Lions.

And he held a variety of roles on the Philadelphia Eagles staff in the ten years before Detroit.

He also started his playing career in Philadelphia, selected in the third round of the 1997 NFL Draft.

He then crossed the state to Pittsburgh where he won a Super Bowl ring.

Upon his retirement, the Eagles hired Staley as a coaching intern, working with special teams under Andy Reid.

Chip Kelly named Staley his running backs coach, as did the next Eagles head coach, Doug Pederson.

Under Pederson, Staley won a second Super Bowl ring, after which he was promoted to assistant head coach.

In 2020, the NFL Scouting Combine added the “Duce Staley Drill” to their screening sessions.
