You think any Dallas coaching jobs are all that special? I would say taking over the entire program at a school in the rankings every year isn't a step down from an OC job in the NFL.

The colleges don't change their coaches out 20-25% a year every year, I'd say the NFL coaches are not that special.

Some want to paint on the college canvass and some on the NFL but I wouldn't say that the NFLers are that much better than the college guys. It was the NFL that went running to Saban to see how to stop the spread offense.

The NFL takes the best from college and the product is not much better. I've seen better tackling at the college level.

Yea but Boise isn’t Alabama or some of the big state schools where recruiting is more important than coaching.

And I’d disagree that the talent level is much greater in NFL . It’s the best of the best. Remember only about 10% go to the pros.

Who do you think is responsible for Mahomes being a Chief? That was Reid all the way. Smith was a stopgap measure until he could get a QB.

I understand but I’m saying if he didn’t land Mahomes then the story would have been much different.

He didn’t know what Mahomes was going to become.

I hope that Moore stays with the Cowboys. He has shown he can put up statistics with Dak. If we could improve our defense that would be key.

Then wouldn't it be a better product? It is not a better product.

There’s still sloppiness in the NFL but it’s the best of the best from NCAA. The talent is so much better overall even if you think the end product is similar which I’m not really sure what you’re referring to.

He traded up to get him so I think he had a pretty good bead on it and Reid is by far the pass happiest clown at the rodeo. He saw an improved McNabb model with Mahomes mobility and accuracy on the run. He needed better support players and coaching.

I’m not really sure what you mean by a better product . The talent level and performance is much better. And the games overall are much better.

Once you get away from top 20 teams in NCAA there’s not a lot of talent . And the competition is low. So many lopsided blowouts in NCAA. The talent isn’t anywhere close to every distributed.

8-8 represents “ relative and interesting”.

Jethro can sell the hell out 8-8 year after year. But not 5-11 or 6-10.

You got a point...
That Football Guy Master Planner Jerry. Sly dog. Kellen is just waiting in the wings no doubt.

I do not see the elevated play in the NFL that I used to see. It was easy to tell the difference, now? Not so much, the NFL is a slopfest and they've forgotten how to tackle.

A billionaire owner that pays his football guys peanuts, comparatively speaking. Yeah, I can see how he would think that he knows what he wants his team to look like.

Sounds like Jerry.

Since boy wonder is under contract for 3 years, if Philly did want to hire him would there be any compensation paid to Dallas for the hire? Draft picks? I know that's what happened with Gruden and the Oakland/Tampa Bay swap.

Likely not. The Gruden deal was different. He was the head coach and under contract. Oakland traded his contract to Tampa in exchange for two first round draft picks and I think some seconds. I think four in total. It was more of a biz decision as Gruden and management were not so swell at the time.

You go when the phone rings.

Doesn’t matter whether we think he’s ready or not.

The youth movement in coaching is on and as long as they are having success it will continue.

Ya I remember when the wildcat offense was "the thing" and people said every team will be running the wildcat and actually about 4 teams did it for a year until defenses figured how to stop it. Ya there is still a very occasional times when a team may try it on the goal tine, but it never turned into that offense that everyone was going to run. Because a couple of coaches who were young got some coaching jobs does not mean that teams ONLY look at young coaches and ignore proven older coaches now. Teams are still going to hire the coaches they think will be the best for them even if they are older coaches.

The cops don't want Moore hired. They'll have to grease the light poles again.

The mounted police horses alone will be worried about having their a-holes violated if they have to poop.

Hawkeye0202 · Jan 14, 2021

Just me, but I'm thinking if he interviews well, it's his job. I think Kellen's is exactly what Lurie is looking for to fix Wentz Let's not forget coached the #1 offense last year and started this season even stronger. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Lurie sees a bit of Andy Reid in Kellen. A young offensive mind guy with QB friendly system he can maybe keep around for the next 5-10 years.

flyinghorse · Jan 14, 2021

I just don’t get the Kellen Moore haters...and it .Seems like a lot of people on this forum hate EVERY coach & player the Cowboys hire......Literally!!
Quick to judge so many coaches & players on such a small sample of their career. There are so many variables when it comes to which coaches your hire & which players you draft/or free agents. Owners don’t get to wave a magic wand & poof they get ALL THE BEST COACHES IN THE NFL & ALL THE TOP TALENT IN DRAFT......C’MON MAN!!
You Know It Doesn’t Work That Way...... Is It That Way Where YOU Work???........NO!! Of Coarse Not....You got some great bosses & some di?? head bosses....you got some excellent secretaries & you got some can’t spell CAT even if you spot em the C.....you got some excellent programmers & you got one dude that married the owners daughter, that took a 6 week online course in programming from Hiyati Nigeria and he’s your freaking BOSS Now!!!!
So Chill Out For Christ Sake & Give The Reasonable Fans That Don’t Believe In Fairy Tales A Freaking Break Every Now And Then AND QUIT RAGGING ON EVERY COACH AND PLAYER IN THE COWBOYS ORGANIZATION

It's, evidently, prohibited by the CBA contract to refuse an NFL employee the opportunity to interview for a promotion with another team. I doubt Kellen is ready to assume such a drastic change in his status, although, it'll likely be up to him to make the final decision. Just my take on this thing . . . I imagine Jerry will probably be obliged to allow KM that option. It's a bit crazy on the part of Philly to undertake such a risky move, imho -- fairly desperate. It'll be hard for Kellen to refuse the opportunity, however. Yet, it's still an interesting scenario!

Figured since it was a promotion they would just void his deal and let him roll out. Thanks!

I believe he has the right to refuse for any player under contract. I don't think he will unless Moore asks him to do that. Then again, Booger might ask him to get some inside skinny from Roseman and Lurie.

I don't think the Eagles job is right for Moore.

Actually he cannot block an assistant who want to interview for a Head Coaching position.

GroundZero1970 · Jan 14, 2021

Didnt Moore JUST sign a contract with us? I would think KM would take that interview, that would be kinda crappy on his part.
