News: Kellen Moore signs extension to remain Cowboys OC

[popp1234]

I love this! Did not want to see Kellen go. Good move.

 

[Hoofbite]

Yep. Don’t wanna say I knew it, but I knew it.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I’m shocked by the tone of this site...Moore is young and needs to be here if he wants to be. I can’t believe people are upset with the move....

 

[DandyDon52]

I don’t get the hate on this one.....he was due an extension here anyways if we wanted him back regardless of the boise job wanting him or not want him. If he underperforms on the job we fire his *** and tear up his contract- it’s not like this has salary cap implications.
He lost dak by week 4.

he deserved to come back after a year with a new coach and get another crack at it with the franchise qb and with mm and him going over a year of film to see what they liked and what they didn’t and how to adjust. With injuries he has us above average on offense at around 12 in efficiency.

can he be better? Sure. Can he be creative without injury or something forcing his hand? Sure. But overall he’s been pretty good and deserved to come back. Don’t really get all the griping.

Kellen was made OC after one year of coaching experience lol, and that doesnt happen anywhere but dallas.
He doesnt understand or value the run game, he wants to pass pass pass.
His run blocking schemes are awful, and the run stats are always ignored, people just look at passing stats.
Dallas had the # 1 offense at first of year, but were 1-3 and should have been 0-4 but people just ignore that and want to talk about the 500 yds passing.
Blame has been put on elliot and the OL, but to me it is more on kellen.
He should be passing game coordinator, not OC.

 

[DandyDon52]

Wonder about the details of the contract.

10 years 100 million !

Oh but another coach who only had a couple years as an assistant to a position coach and quality control and then as a OC and then when he was all of 31 years old became a head coach, Sean McVay. I'll bet that there were people that back in 2017 that said teams to hire 31 year old head coaches too.

Seriously @fivetwos , like duh.

What are you, 10?

I meant the timing of it.

I dont think it's about Moore himself as opposed to the situation feeling similar to the one of Garrett...which people arent going to line up to repeat.

Some on here have it nailed, and I dont buy for a second that keeping Moore wasnt a prerequisite for MM. Jerry can say he asked for him all he likes, but it's fairly clear now that MM simply told Jerry what he wanted to hear.

The MM/Moore combo never made a whole lot of sense to me otherwise.

KM played JJ like a drum.

 

[noshame]

Smart move by Moore why take a college gig when the NFL will be knocking within the next year

 

[Motorola]

On a super fast track within the Cowboys franchise.
September 6, 2015 - signed with the team to be practice squad QB.
Five years and four months later --signs extension to remain as OC.
Six months before his 33rd birthday.
He can continue on in that position - then ascend to HC in Dallas (or somewhere else) and remain a decade or so before going back to his alma mater - and will still only be in his late forties.

 

[Loso86]

Its important for Dak s development as well

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Head coach in training

 

[Birch_Wood]

that is what I was thinking too.
he did the same thing when JG interviewed for job with ravens and another team. Jerry gave him big raise and extension.
This is just a repeat of the JG adventure , at some point kellen will take over as HC and go for ten years or more.

kellen said they are building something special lol
yeah we saw some of that specialness last year and this year kellen.

I thought he was referring to his new home.

KM played JJ like a drum.

Most coaches and players seem to.

The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a multi-year contract extension with offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, the team announced Saturday.

With his new deal, Moore won't pursue an opportunity to become the next head coach at Boise State - his alma mater. The 32-year-old was viewed as a favorite to lead the Broncos after Auburn hired Bryan Harsin in December.

"We are building something special here in Dallas," Moore said in a statement. "I am thankful to the Jones family and Mike McCarthy for providing me the opportunity to coach these special players. I am excited for us to put it all together and finish the job."


Dallas ranks 12th in total offense and 16th in point per game this season under its young assistant despite losing several key players to injuries.

Quarterback Dak Prescott led the league in passing yards before suffering a compound fracture and dislocation in his right ankle in Week 5.

Moore joined the Cowboys in 2018 as quarterbacks coach, and the club promoted him to offensive coordinator the following year. Head coach Mike McCarthy kept him on staff when the franchise hired the veteran sideline boss in 2020.

McCarthy is also expected to retain his job regardless of whether Dallas qualifies for the postseason in Week 17.

Moore is green, but maturing at an exponential rate.. good move by the FO IMO.
He has shown that he can evolve, and by that I mean adapt quickly to current situation, surroundings, and adjust accordingly.
Those that bash on Moore are the same that bash everything it seems, even a little positive gets bashed ASAP,, lets give patience a little credit,, and Im not talking JG patience,, that was stupidity, not patience.
We got posters here that dismiss rookies before year 1 is even complete... lol instant gratification is the new era,, ya I get it the younger generations impatience, but thats not how the real world works.
Mistakes happen, and Im not even saying the Jones' are actually capable of making an accurate decision, but maybe they went of course for once and actually lucked into a Kellen Moore.

 

[Typhus]

Lol wow..

I don’t hate it but I don’t love it.

Just Jerry forcing himself to be stuck with a coach that he won’t get rid of because he’s cheap when it comes to coaches.

That right there has caused massive head shaking, and confusion from me over the years...lol
Why would any owner in this league hold back on paying Coach salaries when that money isnt counted against the cap?
Wouldnt that be a huge advantage for a large market team?
Then I snapped to one day and realized that Jerrys ego is his worst enemy.
Jerry has to pay top dollar for his players because of the salary cap, but he doesnt have to necessarily for his staff.

A good sign all the way around.

McCarthy and Moore should be a good complementary team on offense, each bringing things the other lacks. They all must be mutually happy shmappy with each other too for a multiyear contract.

A Dak extension just got more likely, IMO.

This method of hiring coaches in waiting always works out great and doesn’t undermine the current head coach at all!...............
