Moore has McVay traits

Not saying Moore will ever be Sean McVay or that I endorse Moore as OC over other candidates. But before the board freaks out over a potential hire of Moore as OC, consider this. Like MCVay, Moore was the son of a coach. His father is a very decorated 23 season high school coach who won 4 state championships. (Yes I know far different from NFL coach). Literally, Moore’s entire youth was spent on practice field and sidelines. Second, he is the winningest college QB. Ever. He sees the game through a QB’s eyes and he knows what it takes for a QB to win. In college, he played for an innovative offensive coach in Chris Peterson, who was not afraid to be very creative and call trick plays and use a lot of motion. This surely rubbed off on Moore. Third, more than any assistant coach, he knows Dak’s strengths and weaknesses. He’s been his teammate or position coach for Dak’s entire career. You cannot underestimate that relationship. Finally, he was about the same age as McVay when McVay got his head coaching job. Daniel Jeremiah tweeted today that NFL views Moore as a rising star capable of being a head coach soon, like McVay. So factor all this in...


Didn’t we here similar stuff about Garrett when we got him as OC as well and we saw how that has turned out thus far.

The dislike for Moore on this board is silly - Moore has been talked about as being an extremely bright person and offensive mind since college. This is nothing new, this started back at Boise St. and many figured he'd eventually become a coach anyways.

Stop thinking because Dak stinks that it's Moore's fault - he doesn't have the magical ability to give Dak a great arm and he can't hold his hand while he's in the pocket. Dak had these problems since college himself, those are things Dak will have to improve himself (outside of the arm), there is only so much a coach can do.

Quit reaching for scapegoats to ignore the obvious. It's embarrassing, lazy, and obvious to all what is going on.

We have no idea how Moore will do if he’s given the job. All I’m saying is that there are parallels between him and McVay, and if you believe plugged-In guys like Jeremiah, Moore is highly regarded in the NFL and College coaching community.

Read a tweet from a former NFL GM I didn't realize but made sense. As he put it when filling an OC job, and there's a top-level guy you want it's best he's able to bring in his own QB coach. Reason being if he moves your offense into let's say top 10, you'll like lose him after a year or two far head coaching opportunity. You can then at least promote his QB coach to offensive coor.

They share similar traits in the fact that they both share human DNA.

That's about as far as the similarities go.

You think the FO is intentionally setting the team up for failure, just so they can do it again next year?
I don't think it's intentional. I think they don't learn from their past mistakes. You'd think after all this mediocrity they would try something different.

Hubris has brought down nations. It can easily destroy a once proud football franchise. Already has.

Moore must not be the Boys first choice or they would have signed him already. I think they're waiting on the playoffs to be over. So what happens to Moore if Dallas hires an outside OC and Kitna as QB coach...is he out the door?
Good question. Maybe they'll keep him around in case we pick up a lefty QB. :laugh:

But the premise of intentionally failing for the express purpose of failing again the following year would make no sense, even to the most foolish of people.

I never wanted him as a QB coach or any coach until he does at least college coaching. This would be a real puppet vacant OC position move.

A young Landry.... a really young Landry before he had cut his teeth coaching.

Well, considering most of this board seems to think no viable outside candidate would work for Jerry, and put up with his "meddling" (though the hiring of Richard last year would seem to fly in the face of that belief), that leaves only people who don't have many other options but to take what they can get within the organization.
Regardless, Moore may well be an excellent choice. We've all heard for years how football intelligent he is, and since few successful coaches were successful players, there's no reason to believe he isn't qualified for the job. He knows the organization, and he's seen it from the bottom up, so he probably has a better feel for what needs to be done than anyone else could.

Question: Hawkeye, why wouldn't said OC who leaves due to getting a HC job, not take his hand picked QB coach with him to become his OC at the new job?

Not coming for you at all my friend, just asking. Keep seeing this floated around and the logic doesn't add up to me.
