While the Dallas Cowboys have surprisingly opened their head coaching position, there has already been a lot of speculation and rumors surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles.
Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore spent time in his playing career as a member of the Cowboys. Moore began his career as a National Football League coach with the Cowboys after retiring. He was eventually promoted to offensive coordinator and that’s when he first received widespread praise around the league.
Now, the Cowboys head coaching position is open after the team surprisingly decided to part ways with Mike McCarthy. Could Moore end up getting the job? He’s been linked to the team a lot in recent days and ESPN’s Dan Graziano predicted he would eventually land it.
“My prediction for the next Cowboys coach: Kellen Moore, current Eagles offensive coordinator,” Graziano said. “The Cowboys are obviously still extremely early in their process, and we have no idea how extensive their interview list will be once they get started. But Moore — who played for the Cowboys from 2015 to 2017 (including two years as Dak Prescott’s backup quarterback), then spent a year as the team’s quarterbacks coach, then four more in as offensive coordinator – has an obvious connection to the organization. and his current QB.
“He has interviewed for head coaching positions in recent years and is also on some teams’ interview lists this cycle. The Cowboys offense has averaged 18.9 points per game this season, 25th in the NFL. Moore’s Philadelphia offense ranked sixth at 26.7 points per game.
Moore has clear and obvious ties to the Cowboys. Don’t be shocked if we hear a lot more about this potential couple.
