Twitter: Kellen Moore has "high interest" in Boise State job

Kellen leaving wouldn't bother me, that puts it all on McCarthy. If this offense fails or gets worse it exposes him for the fraud some people claim he is.

 

[Centex]

Like him or not, leaving would allow McCathy to succeed or not on his own. I’ll bet McCarthy is hoping he gets it.

Lmao we wrote the exact samething at the exact same time! Nice!

Didn't Petersen used to coach there?

Yes. He was the HC for several years.

 

[Kolemmitt]

Yep. I think he is done coaching - doesn't like all of the BS that goes with it, but Boise is also looking for a new athletic director. I could see him moving into that role at Boise.

kind of a dumb move,you go to Boise and your chance of being a NFL head coach goes out of the window.

It not does prevent Moore from becoming an NFL HC.

 

[Hawkeye19]

I hope he takes the job. I would like to see what another OC can do with this roster

it kinda does,nobody is going to hire him directly from college again as a HC especially not from Boise state.

I don’t see it that way. If I was Kellen Moore and I had the chance to be HC at a great program like Boise State, I would do it. Boise is a really good program. They can recruit the West coast well and have been a good starting platform for rising young coaches like Chris Peterson.

KM’s only 33. He’s not ready to be a HC in the NFL. (That wouldn’t stop Jerry from naming him as a HC of course) But also, if he does well at Boise, his NFL experience would allow to come back in the league as an experienced coach at both levels. It would be a great move for Moore’s long term career.

This is going to hurt if it happens. We’ve had the #1 offense in the NFL since Moore took over as OC and with Dak as the QB.

Why do you say that? He'll leave the Cowboys as a successful NFL OC. I do think it would probably take a top 15-20 ranking at Boise to get consideration.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Boise is a great city, place to raise a family, beautiful area and a high profile football program.

33? Man that’s a nice setup to get a college HC job. Good for him.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Whatever. The. McCarthy gets to pick his guy instead Jerry doing it for him

I tend to agree.


I know the NFL is the NFL. But man. Being a college head coach is damn near just as good nowadays.

the pay is comparable for some of the biggest programs. The fame
And notoriety is comparable. I mean if you’re a successful college coach in some areas of the country you are just as beloved a figure as most NFL coaches.

the media coverage for major college football is almost as strong as it is for the NFL.

sure the NFL is a step up. But it’s easy to see how plenty of college coaches could easily be perfectly content with being a college coach.

plus it’s not like he is taking a job at some small college. Boise is a very well known and respected program.

Leave young man as they can find a new scapegoat to replace you.
