On Monday night, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter named two former Cowboys players who could be in the hunt for the job in Big D. They fit a route owner Jerry Jones has gone before with former head coach Jason Garrett.

The Cowboys requested an interview for Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore per NFL insider Adam Schefter. "Cowboys now have requested permission to interview Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore for their head coaching job, per source," said Schefter on X.

After saying goodbye to Mike McCarthy after five seasons, Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is a favorite to coach the Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys made two major moves this week that sent shockwaves through the NFL. The first one was parting ways with head coach Mike McCarthy. The second was speaking with Colorado's Deion Sanders about the vacant position.

As the NFL offseason continues for most teams, the Cowboys plan to interview Eagles OC Kellen Moore for their vacant head coach position.

Interestingly enough, Moore would not be the first Latter-day Saint head coach for the Cowboys. Dave Campo coached in Dallas from 2000-02, after converting to the faith during his stint at Weber State in the 1980s. Moore’s Eagles are currently in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs and will host Puka Nacua’s Los Angeles Rams Sunday afternoon.

Kellen Moore is reportedly a candidate to become Mike McCarthy's successor according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. While the Cowboys search has just begun, Moore is in the running for the job and he could end up as their coach for the 2025 season.

The Dallas Cowboys are moving on from head coach NFL Mike McCarthy, and Adam Schefter revealed two names to watch in the coaching search. On Monday Night Countdown, the ESPN NFL insider said Kellen Moore and Jason Witten could be in the running to be the next Cowboys head coach.

NFL insider Adam Schefter added another person to the list of potential new Dallas Cowboys head coaches. Besides Deion Sanders, Schefter said that former All-Pro tight end Jason Witten could find his way back to AT&T Stadium this offseason.

“The Cowboys are planning to have a second interview with their own OC Brian Schottenheimer today, per me, Tom Pelissero and Jane Slate,” Rapoport wrote on Twitter. “After spending nearly four hours with Schottenheimer yesterday, Dallas brass sits down with him again.”
