The Most Important Thing is McCarthy kept Kellen Moore

[TheCritic]

If McCarthy does nothing else right....brilliant move holding onto Kellen!!!

 

[kskboys]

Must agree.

I don't have a problem with it because I know that McCarthy will be calling his own offense.

But I wouldn't say its brilliant.

 

[cityochamps]

Moore might take a pay cut but if I was him I would be grateful at this stage of my career to mentored by McCarthy and also to still have a job.

When the McCarthy era is over in Dallas, it wouldn't surprise me if Moore is the next HC.

 

[garyo1954]

Why?

 

[SSoup]

I mean, it's too early to call this putt.

Maybe he kept Kellen because he genuinely thinks he's a brilliant coach and he plans to make good use of him scheming our offense and calling our plays. Like how Parcells hired Sean Payton, who he had no experience with but who he'd noticed and respected and he knew he could probably ride him and get some results.

Or maybe his pro-Kellen stance was entirely a calculated move to appease Jerry in order to get hired in the first place.

Nobody who interviewed for the job was going to get it by second-guessing Dak, Zeke and the running game's importance, or the wunderkind coach Jerry aggressively promoted who had a promising first season and who Jerry surely thinks has a bright future. I'm sure McCarthy talked up those 3 guys. We'll find out later how much he meant those things and how much he blew smoke up Jerry's butt in the interview to get the job at any cost.

Look, I like Moore but the most important thing MM has done is cleaning out the other coaches.

 

[fairviewfarmer]

makes me wonder, down the road if Kellen Moore will be loyal to McCarthy or Jerry?

I'll take it one step further and say he's being groomed to be the next head coach. I know McCarthy said he has complete control over his staff, but I think this is the one coach where Jerry said, I'd really like you to strongly consider this guy.

That would imply lots of success and McCarthy going out on top. If that happens, Moore is likely plucked away well before McCarthy is ready to retire. If there is no success and McCarthy is let go, why would anyone want to transition from that to Moore?

 

[Jason 82 Witten]

I think he deserves a second season under a new coach

it is until it isnt..lol

he might look back on this when Jerry and KM stab him in the back after 3 seasons and take over.. thats the parachute move..if MM doesnt show big time success by year 3 , welcome KM ie very familiar to what Garett did to wade )

This one for sure JJ all over it KM is the untouchable and rightfully so...wish they can keep Kitna too...also I would not mind JG being at the management level that's where he will be good

 

[nightrain]

I just hope it was McCarthy's choice.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

If he lets Kellen Moore run his own offense then I would agree.

But I don't see Mike McCarthy doing that and if I had to predict I'd say Kellen Moore is here for a year and then he's out of here.

He's a shoe in, if he dyes his hair red!

After listening to McCarthys interviews I doubt very seriously that Kellen is running anything.

I think he is just going to be a buffer between Dak and the head coach primarily.

McCarthy sounds like he wants to be the playcaller and QB coach as well.

I agree. That's exactly what this is going to be which is discouraging to me. Im not against McCarthy but I didn't want his offense. But it comes with the territory. Moore won't be here very long.

I want McCarthy to have as much power as possible so if it doesn’t work we don’t have to do the same silly guessing game like we had to do with Garrett by switching coordinators 2 or 3 teams.

Let McCarthy do what he wants and if it fails find another coach.
