At least Moore is a chance for different. We need different. Our scheme looked so bad that any reasonable use of what we have should be better. Improving it doesn't take genius, it takes basic football sense.

But can't say until we see him whether we'll get different, even if he is. It's unclear that even if they *called* him the OC that we'll know, as the latest noise I've been hearing is that Garrett will be calling the plays next year. Presumably that means Garrett designs the offense too.

Did you ever watch the Boise State offense he ran?

Is that what we are going to see here in Dallas? With Garrett calling the plays?

Let me know when you wake up from that dream.

Kellen Moore means more Garrett. It means more of the same. If that is what you want, then by all means its a great hire for you.

Linehan couldn’t say enough about how football smart he is. I don’t know man. If JG is calling the plays from the same playbook then we will abandon the run quickly and throw the ball 50 times a game.

you can't abandon the run with Dak. Dak needs Zeek to be successful.

Ooh look at all those fancy strong OPINIONS. Truth is we would all love some big name that will make defenses tremble in fear, but they are few and far between.
Reality of the situation is not a single one of us has any idea how he will be as an OC, because we have no idea how much of his own game plan he can bring to the table, or if he will just regurgitate Linehan's plan. We simply do not know. He's never done it, might be the next coming of Tom Landry, might be the next coming of Rod Rust.

He fits the mold of what everyone here seems to want, which is a young former QB who knows the game and is held in high regard. Just because he worked for or with Linehan does not mean he is only capable of running Linehan's system or some variant of it. The upside obviously being that he's already built a relationship and trust with our starting QB at the very least, and potentially others on the offense as well. The downside is that he was already here, so he does not qualify as new and sexy like some of the other (very inexperienced) names being thrown around.
often times average players become better coaches. why? because great players see the game differently and expect that everybody else sees it the same way. average players had to work extra hard to be good or manage to stay with a team and they see things a little different and often produce better results. Singlteray was a great player. very instinctive, but he failed as a coach. most coaches today were average to slightly above average players.

Its actually just the opposite. Moore guarantees nothing much changes. It will essentially be Garrett back in control and calling the plays.

Who says he is a rising star? Who knows Kellen more besides the Cowboys or Linehan? Why cant people earn their position around here instead of just being handed something on a hunch? Why cant we just hire REAL, experienced, qualified people in this organization?
Most coaches do not want to work for Jerry and Garrett.

It's a a dead end coaching road.

There is no coaching tree coming out of Garrett and Jerrah has tried.

Rob Ryan

Wade Phillips

is about it and not one of them has pointed at time here as having added to their resume'.

Richard is a break from traditional thinking..

but like just what happened with him interviewing for HC gigs..

he neglected the defense and was not ready for the Rams.

He will be the same way next year, a short termer.

LOL...…...great point. Is there ANYONE from the Garrett tree coaching staff that people ever slobbered over to hire?

Sean Payton couldn't wait to get out of here out from under the hapless Parcells. Can you think of ANYONE?

Everyone from McVays TE coach will be getting gigs. Our own players and outside Dallas players constantly make fun of our offense. Laughable.

Speculation. You may be completely right, but at this moment you do not know if you are or not.

Common sense actually. Going around telling people they don't know for sure is not a reason to hire someone.

I have no idea but going by the results from Daks struggles early in the season its not looking that great,Dak still struggling with foot work problems in his 3rd year is not a good indictment for him.

Let’s see......he failed as a QB......check!

.....he failed as a QB coach........check!

.....he must be a hidden OC talent........we have a BINGO!

:clap:
Nonsense comments. First, look around the NFL and find all the highly successful former QBs that are coaching. If you want to use success as a QB as a requirement for a coach, Moore is an elite coaching candidate. Second, it’s stupid to call him a failed QB coach it was his first season as the QB coach, because you (and I, and any of us) have no knowledge at all about how much Moore helped Dak, and also because Dak was better this year than last, and improved from the beginning of the season to the end. As for OC, aside from the fact he hasn’t been named OC, the only argument against him is lack of experience. Calling him a failure before he starts is posting without the benefit of thinking.
