Official: Kellen Moore made OC, Kitna QB Coach

nightrain · Jan 31, 2019

Jerry's fantasies rarely pan out. I hope Moore turns out to be a young coaching phenom, but let's face it, I don't see many successful coaches who have gone from holding the clipboard to brief a 2 yrs. stint patting the starting QB on the back to OC.

Has a team ever started tanking for the following season before the current season is even over? This move sure makes you think.

How many of you guys criticized the draft pick of LVE?

Thanks for the post. I learned a new word.

No, he just didn't capitalize "Garrett".

She played a witch on the 1960's era sitcom "Bewitched". Could make stuff happen by just twitching her nose.

I know my parents used to watch the re-runs when I was little, but I admit I just had to Google her.

Actually, Sam was the character, played by Elizabeth Montgomery. :grin:

This is hilarious and I can't wait for next year.

My guess is that Moore will flop. Big time.

Or just MAYBE we luck into our famous comfort zone of an 8-8 season and we just keep on stacking these good years like we have the last two and a half decades. Man, such exciting times, right?

I don't like this move at all because it's risky. If it doesn't pan out, they will just fire Moore and move on. It places no accountability on Garrett or the coaching staff.

On the contrary, JG is a lame duck coach. You're not going to get a big move OC to come to Dallas under that situation.

Jerry appears to be sending a message to Garrett: it's your offense, your team, produce this year or don't expect a new contract.

3 weeks ago, this would have been considered a bad joke. A few well timed articles later and Jerry has the fanbase excited about it.

Jerry is amazing.

On the optimist side, there is the speculation that this will allow Dak to have more freedom as he won't be constrained to play within the confines of Linehan. Possibly more flexibility to have more say and dictate things since him and Kellen Moore will be growing together and seem to have a closer working relationship. Eh, i dunno.

Question, is he going to actually install a new offenses?

Jerry thinking he has found himself the next Sean McVay

Quincy was supposed to be Vick

MO graded out higher than any corner since Deion...

Lemme think, I know there are a few more doozies..

Weren't we supposed to copy the Pats 2 tight end sets of Gronk and Hernandez when the Pats were using those guys...

I forget, Was it supposed to be accomplished via Witt and Fasano
Or Witt and Bennett or Witt and Escobar?

Do I need to go as far back as our Defensive End evaluations on the likes of Ekuban or Carver or keep it more recent with Taco?

Long ago Wide Receiver value (or lack thereof with eyes sarcastically rolling) in the picks for Roy Williams or God Forbid, Joey Galloway...?

We can only dream to have a "stars all aligned and we won in spite of" type season.

Even with our drafting having so drastically improved over the last 6 to 8 years (with the exception of Mo and Taco) with less, by appearance sake Jerry meddling, we are still so far away from a coaching staff and quarterback standpoint.

I'm 53 and have zero faith for the foreseeable future of seeing a SB win in the next 2 more decades based on both present and past happenings and with this team's family ownership.

Looks like it will be 24 straight years now with no success.

I think it's a mistake but at this point, we are getting close to the end of the Garrett run so if this fails, I think it's almost impossible for Jerry to continue down this road with Garrett. If it works out, great.

So I am all for it. There doesn't seem to be much downside here. Either he's a prodigy that makes us a better team, or this thing fails and Garrett finally gets the heave ho.

You left out a 3rd option...………...so horrific I hate to even mention it.

The team blows next season, no playoffs, and Moore is the next sacrificial lamb to give cover to Garrett. When asked about why the offense cant score in the red zone, Clappy will just point to Moore and say "I know nothing, that dude over there is totally in charge of this inept offense".

You know its coming. Garrett is notorious for throwing other coaches and players under the bus to save his own hide. Dont see next year being any different.

Results speak for themselves...……………...you either have them or you dont.

When all you can win is Wildcard games, and even those are every 3-4 years, hard to point to what the FO is doing and say good job.

It's even better than that. Everyone thinks Moore is some great boy genius. That threatens Garrett's position more than anyone else, because if things go badly, Moore is the next boy genius up. Garrett gets to destroy the threat and die another season all in one scapegoat.

Actually it all makes sense. Moore was the winningest QB in NCAA history. Not because his team was loaded with talent. But because the team out schemed everyone else with much less talent than they. Fredbeard says he’s a genius. Dak says he’s a genius. Much praise from others in the organization. He knows the players, he knows the terminology. He knows the criticisms about lack of engenuity. The keystone cops comment just shows you’re lack of knowledge about the Cowboys, their coaches and their players.

So he just sat quietly on the bench last season and let the team struggle week in and week out on offense despite him being an offensive genius?

Moore be like, "I got all these great plays I created that will take this team to the next level, but I think I am just going to sit here quietly and let these other coaches all get fired before saying jack".

Yeah, that sounds like a great dude to work with :omg:

Ian just said "when the Cowboys little playoff run ended".

Dam, that is majorly getting clowned right there...……...I couldn't hear the rest of the video for laughing so hard :lmao2:

Not really.

Moore had literally 12 months of any coaching experience before being made OC. McVay started his coaching career in 2008 and had logged 7 years of professional coaching experience before calling plays in 2015 for the Skins.

If you want to think this is a good move, that's fine. But trying to compare this hiring to what happened with McVay simply isn't accurate.

The homers are grasping at straws here, trying to find some way to justify this as anything other than being a clown show.

I guess you don’t know how football works. You put the offense and defensive schemes with all the terminology and plays starting with OTA’s, mini-camp and preseason. During the regular season, you may tweak a play here and there, which they did, but you don’t put in a whole new offense. Especially when you’re the QB coach and not the OC.
