After leaving Dallas he was OC for a yr with the Chargers and now with Philly. I think this is the first time his name has come up in a HC search and has only been interviewed by Dallas and N.O.

Even though he isnt a hot candidate he is still not desperate enough to work for Jerry and his BS. If he gets passed over it will only be by the Saints
KMoore is one of the top OCs in the NFL.

I would hire Jason witten or romo before I’d ever give Schottenheimer the job. Talk about doomed. I can’t understand Stephen jones. He’s the big pusher behind all these moves I told yall that 5 years ago. Jerry wants flashy and to spend

You have no idea if Moore turned anything down

I get that this is a trainwreck, but dont just make things up
Ending an interview for a head coaching position early kinda tells me all I need to know.

Ive been in interviews, and interviewed many people. If the interview isnt going well, it ends.

So have I. You are assuming Moore ended it based on nothing

You think Kellen Moore, who has been let go as an OC twice in consecutive years, is turning down a HC job?

well...he got passed over by every team that has filled its opening.
if they didn't interview him...he got passed over being a potential candidate...and if he interviewed he got passed over for the one hired.
it was thought he was in play here...new orleans and jax.
jax is filled...so he has 2 spots left.
if he does not get either...you do have to wonder maybe he isn't as great as some think he is.
In not saying he is a great HC candidate. But the notion he bombed his interview and Dallas moved on is humorous.
He isnt an unknown commodity to the Cowboys since he played here and was an assist coach for 5 years.

Dallas knows all about him and still wanted to talk to him abt the job. I think Kellen turned them down.

No, I think he turned down being Jerrys puppet and Wittens mentor.

there's no doubt dallas thinks highly of him...they've interviewed him twice for the hc spot...last time and this year.
yet twice they didn't offer him the job.
has to be a reason.
maybe he doesn't command the room.
during his last interview just weeks ago...reports came out how he does not interview well...concerns about commanding a room.
looks like to me there is some truth there.
i doubt he turned down the dallas job...maybe he did...but i doubt it.
the concerns they had back then must still be there.
wouldn't surprise me if he remains eagles oc.

I wonder if the same people that think Moore doesnt want to be Jerry's puppet are the same people that thought that was the only reason they wanted him to begin with

I think. Kellen Moore, probably doesnt want to come back to the clown show that is the Dallas Cowboys. Or have Jerry picking his assistants before he is in the building.

Yet he spent playoff preparation time to do an interview for a job he didn't want. He was in Dallas a long time. He knows what the job is, and he wanted it

Wouldn’t surprise me if he doesn’t command a room. Point is, they would already have known that after the yrs he was in Dallas.
He is someone they know and probably thought he would agree to whatever Jerry was pushing.

This is the reason why I never get excited about head coaches being let go with the Cowboys.

Getting rid of Phillips, Garrett, McCarthy, etc. sounds great after years of failed seasons, but fans rarely consider who will replace them.

Fans like to think the next guy hired will be a Kyle Shanahan, Ben Johnson, etc. type of coach when in reality, Jerry will likely hire a coach that most other teams would not hire because he knows he can control him, and more importantly, he won't steal any of the credit or limelight from Jerry.
You should a have plan before for fire anyone.
May not have the guy all lined up but at leasta plan for 2-3 guys you want to interview that you know are very interested.

I have no idea what this nonsense Jerry is trying to pull now with some week to week pay you by the win crap.
This is full on Al Davis territory. The last 12 months have been a clinic in how NOT to operate.
