News: KBOI: Kellen Moore admits interest in Boise State job

If he wants to become an nfl hc, it's better he stays in Dallas. If not, boise would be a good venue for him. But no question the quickest stepping stone to being an nfl hc is being a good nfl oc. Mcvay, shanahan, matt lefleur and stefanski.

Yep

If Cowboys have some success in next couple years he will become a hot commodity . If not then he should have taken Boise job. It’s a risk with this franchise.

What other goal is there!?? Money? If you're a coach, you want to be a head coach. This job is different than most. I took a 20k pay it once and turned that into a 60k raise in three years. That may not seem like a lot to some, but it was a 30% raise for me. Wasn't about the money, it was about the job!

If being a head coach is Kellens only goal then he could have that at 100 colleges. If being an NFL head coach is his goal then right where he is at is probably the absolute pinnacle of reaching that goal. You lead the Dallas Cowboys offense to multiple successful years and have a good playoff run you're gonna get your shot no doubt. You lead Boise State to a couple ritz cracker bowls and maybe the NFL calls?

Lol...Linehan is a head coach now? He's not gonna become a HC as an OC in Dallas unless Jerry is grooming him.

You're joking right? Kellen Moore is a 30 year old genius. Scott Linehan got hit shot as a head coach well before he was the oc here. I gotta believe you are just trying to troll at this point. Go ask Sean Payton if he wishes he would of left his gig in Dallas for Boise state. He'd laugh you out the door.

Take the Job! Win, win for everyone....( except JJ)

I thought Payton was a QB coach in Dallas, not an OC

I hope he stays but I fully understand that this would be a dream job for Moore.

Believe or not there are coaches in college who love it and have no desire to coach Millionaires in the NFL. You have success in college you become God like.

Depends on what level he wants to be and where he inspires to be. It's all about being happy in your skin. He could make more money and maybe eventually dare i say. coach the Cowboys.

Its a risk and depends on how strong the ties are at Bosie. He can be replaced but he is a bright spot for me at least.

Thanks for proving my point even more. The measly QB coach of a successful Cowboy team gets NFL head coaching jobs. Hell, with that info I have to go out even further and say if Moore wants to be the head coach of an NFL team then he would be an absolute fool to leave this role.

Interesting how some transfer their motivations to another person. Being a HC in the NFL and the money might not be the motivator for him that it is for you. Guys like Saban, Petrino, Spurrier and Kelly thought the NFL was for them and then found out different.

He's 32 with a family and the greatest years of his life were in Boise and I can speak to that living there for 3 years and of the 10 places I have lived, including Dallas, it is by far the best place I ever lived. I returned to Dallas from Boise and was really depressed with how ugly Dallas is and what's attractive is all man made. No river running through the center of town, surrounding mountains with hiking, rafting, fly fishing and skiing 30 minutes away. Unless you want to wet your fly in the center of town on your lunch hour.

So, it's not all about the money to everyone and being the HC where he was considered the best ever player and living in one of the great towns in the US sure as hell beats coaching and living in DET.

Quality of life can only be defined by us not for us. I think it's a done deal and Booger and McC both know it and are sending that message. This is Kellen Moore's dream job and his mentor was the previous HC before the one that went to Auburn, Chris Peterson. He predicted Moore would be a HC.

Besides that, the NFL isn't a lure for a lot of college HC's and if you've been following it, the game is flowing from college to the NFL now, not the reverse. Nick Saban's office was packed with NFL coaches a couple of years back with them trying to learn form him how he dealt with this new high octane offense that was all college born.

This isn't a job, this is a Star Wars job, it is Kellen's destiny. Besides that, they've been waiting for him to return to do those goofy TV commercials.

Please take it, because it you don't next year will probably be you're last year as our OC. MM will use you as his excuse for a back to back losing seasons. You see JJ isn't smart enough to see that MM is part of the problem in BIG D!
