I'm of the opinion Jerry Jones can afford to pay the price to keep KM at the OC position as long as he wants him there.

The headline is just to grab attention. If he's successful then yes he may be a head coach candidate real quick. Innovative coordinators are almost as hot a commodity as pro bowl QBs.

wow he hasn't even coached his team to one win yet and they have him being in contention for a head coach job
Before Wade Phillips was hired as HC, following Bill Parcells’ resignation, Jason Garrett was already hired as the OC.

Soon after Wade agreed to coach DC, and accepted the above, Jerry anointed JG head-coach-in-waiting.

Give it time...

Wow. Moore hasnt even proven himself to be worthy of leading an offense at even the high school level YET. And someone wrote an article calling him an offensive Genius....


What a reach.
My thoughts exactly. Hasn't proven a thing yet, but somehow he is the next HC phenom.

Exactly, we haven't had a preseason game yet and there's talk of him getting a HC job.

Dallas Cowboys: Why Kellen Moore won’t last long as offensive coordinator
https://thelandryhat.com/2019/07/03/dallas-cowboys-kellen-moore-wont-last/



Kellen Moore’s tenure as the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys won’t last very long. In other words, his clock is already ticking. Here’s why...

...Hiring a young offensive genius without head coaching experience to come in and lead a franchise is not a new phenomenon. From 2001 to 2009, there were names like Marty Mornhinweg, Josh McDaniels, and Eric Mangini hired as NFL head coaches. They were each extremely bright and possessed the offensive imagination as coordinators that led general managers from other teams to believe their success as head coaches was inevitable...

...Fast forward to 2019 and you see teams following a similar formula hiring names like Kliff Kingsbury, Zac Taylor, Freddie Kitchens, Matt LaFleur, Adam Gase, Bruce Arians, Matt Nagy, Frank Reich, Pat Shurmur, Jon Gruden, Kyle Shanahan, and Sean McVay to become head coaches.

These are all new head coaches with offensive backgrounds who are expected to take advantage of this new pass-happy league with rules that absolutely favor offenses. We are in the midst of an offensive genius renaissance. And a successful campaign by someone like Kellen Moore will put him squarely in the mix for a head coaching job soon...
Lets win a ring with his Moore Betta Offense and talk head coaching for another team next off season....

Not being OC long doesn’t really mean getting a HC job
There is another way he could be a short timer

Sean McVay was the youngest to be hired as an NFL head coach at age 30.

Kellen Moore is 29 now and would be 31 in two years, however...

Sean McVay Coaching Experience
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2008)
- Assistant wide receivers coach​
Florida Tuskers (2009)
- Quality control/wide receivers coach​
Washington Commanders (2010-2016)
- Assistant tight ends coach (2010)
- Tight ends coach (2011-2013)
- Offensive coordinator (2014-2016)​
Los Angeles Rams (2017–present)
- Head coach

Kellen Moore Coaching Experience
Dallas Cowboys
- QB Coach 2018


Sean McVay had 9 years of coaching experience when hired as an NFL Head Coach.

Kellen Moore has 1 and would have 3 two years from now.

If we've learned anything over the last decade, it's that you don't have to deliver good results to get rewarded or promoted in Dallas. The clock is ticking on Moore? Right. Even if he falls on his face, Garrett will finally take the heat and Moore will get bumped to HC because he's a genius just like Garrett was proclaimed to be. Then again, maybe I'll eat crow and he really will be an offensive genius.
The article was focused on him being too successful to keep as the OC because another team will hire him as their Head Coach...

This! The kid hasn't called a play as an OC and now he is something special.

Why?

Jerry thinks so. If that doesn't tell you something you just started watching pro sports.

Interesting that the 3 mentioned failed as HC's but nothing like Linehan and Marinelli, they reset the bar. I think that's a hard job.

I think the chances of Moore becoming a HC are very good. I think the absence of very good HC's just about guarantees that with 6-9 of these guys fired every season. Any coach that lasts long enough, gets a shot.

As far as offensive genius, not so sure that he is that or anyone is in that post, including the newest and bestest to talk about that scored 3 points in the SB. I do not apply that word to football but if I did that would be reserved for coaches that created something new like Landry and Walsh.

I don't know what kind of HC Moore will make but then again I don't know what kind of OC he's going to make either.

If Kellen Moore does turn out to be an in-demand commodity as a Head Coach, then Stephen/Jerry will promote Garret to the Front Office and promote Moore to Head Coach.

Other possible titles for Garrett:

  • Head Coach Emeritus
    • Professors with Emeritus status are technically retired, however...
    • they often stay around and teach a class or two on a part-time basis.
  • Vice President of Head Coaching
  • Front Office Guy
  • VP of Spitting
  • Head Coach of Press Conferences
  • Head Coach of assisting Charlotte Jones
  • VP of Coaching Acquisitions
  • VP of Clapping
