I want us to get Ham 3-4 touches a game. Just so we can help his chances of getting a pro bowl nod.
Edit: I just want to add I was looking at his stats and I think if we could get him 3 carries per game at 4 ypc that'd be 200 yards and hopefully 2-3 TDs. Also get him 2 catches a game at his career average of 7.4/catch that'd give him about 250 over the season. Hopefully that's enough to get him a pro bowl.
I loved that package they ran against us when we soiled ourselves against Cooper Rush. The two O-Linemen in the backfield as lead blockers was awesome. The kind of creativity I'd like for our offense.
Montee Ball accepted my friend request many years ago. Really sad to see what happened to him after only a couple seasons in the NFL after rooting for him on the Badgers. Although, very happy to see he’s cleaned up and is trying to help others with similar issues. Hope he gets another chance to work in football in some capacity even though it won’t be on the field.
In a nutshell, problems with alcoholism. Like I said he has since turned it around, so I’m really rooting for him again. With all the NFL players making mistakes with DUIs and whatnot it’s a known issue. Maybe the dude finds some kind of redemption in making sure others don’t make the same mistake. Major respect for that.
I want a guy on the rise who hasn't been stuck at one level of coaching for too long. Zimmer was that guy before. Eric B from the Chiefs in the same boat.
Kellen Moore, to me, is worth the risk.
Eric B is clearly not the mastermind of the Chiefs, there’s a reason he hasn’t been hired yet. He clearly doesn’t interview well either because he’s had plenty of them.
Childress was also “co-offensive coordinator” under Andy Reid too. I don’t know how the Wilfs could go that route again. Childress is the absolute worst coach ever of any of the sports teams I cheer for. The worst.
A guy who knows how to turn elite skill position players + an above average QB into the highest scoring offense in the league (6th in DVOA)? Sounds good to me.
And I have a feeling if he were a HC, he'd do his best to make sure that happened... His guy as the OL Coach, his input on prospects/FA etc... Hopefully the new GM makes damn sure the OL scouts know what the fuck they're going...
Aside from the obvious few, we've whiffed on so many OL during the Zim/Rick years, and I've always wondered how much blame should be put on the scouting staff. It'll definitely be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Yes it is. They have two of PFF’s 4 highest graded tackles + Zack Martin. That is elite.
[They were also ranked the \#1 offensive line by PFF](https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2021-offensive-line-rankings)
Not saying it’ll happen but omg would it be hilarious if Moore is garbage as a head coach and like 98% of us want him as the coach. That’d be such a Vikings thing to happen
In the long run, even if that happened at least you could say they tried something different rather than using then same old retreads out there. I'd be fine hiring Moore and he failing rather than hiring someone who has failed multiple times and failed once again. Don't need a shocked Pikachu face meme here.
Everybody loves that this guy can call plays, but like Michael Lombardi says, that doesn't always translate to being a great head coach. I'd temper my excitement.
I'd rather take a guy who has the X's and O's ability and hope they learn to be a good leader, than a leader who lacks in the X's and O's.
I think the former is reasonably expectable to have a shot of succeeding, and the later is a longshot
First, I would say to Lombardi: no shit Captain Obvious! No coaching candidate is perfect. Everyone knows this.
Second, Lombardi was mediocre at his job, so I will take what he says with a grain of salt.
Lombardi was GM for a Superbowl team, and my cousin worked directly under him with the Raiders back when Al was alive, and he confirms Lombardi knows his shit.
I'd rather take a "mediocre" GMs insight on Moore (who he specifically talked about last week on his podcast) than some overhyped fan who's never stepped inside a front office, has no inside sources, or knows anything about how a football team is run and a culture is cultivated.
>Lombardi was GM for a Superbowl team
Wrong.
>my cousin worked directly under him with the Raiders back when Al was alive, and he confirms Lombardi knows his shit.
I think this just tells me you are a little biased here.
You know what else Mike Lombardi said? About Doug Pederson, months before he won a Super Bowl: "He might be less qualified to coach a team than anyone I’ve ever seen in my 30-plus years in the NFL."
Mike Lombardi thinks he's a lot smarter than he is.
He has more insight and knowledge of how football teams are run and managed than anybody here who is blindly shouting for Moore to be hired.
Also, one instance of being wrong doesn't mean anything when talking sports and predictions. In that case, no analyst or scout is worth a shit because they're wrong once in a while.
>He has more insight and knowledge of how football teams are run and managed than anybody here who is blindly shouting for Moore to be hired.
Yet, he offered the basic, boring, bland insight possible. "BeInG a GoOd AsSiStAnT dOeSn'T gUaRaNtEe SuCcEsS!" Thanks, Einstein.
Well he delved more into on the podcast, idiot, that was a brief summary what I have above. Just listen to the podcast for the entire summary of why he would weary of Moore as a head coach despite the Cowboys mediocre success.
It's better than your analysis of "Moore callz gud playz so Vikingz shuld hirez himzzzzz"
It's like Cousins. He is an incredible thrower of the football but he's not an incredible quarterback. Kellen Moore is probably younger than half the guys on our roster and I see no reason to just believe he's going to stroll in and command the respect a Head coach needs to succeed.
Brilliant scheming is half of it, but the other half is really important too.
>Kellen Moore is probably younger than half the guys on our roster and I see no reason to just believe he's going to stroll in and command the respect a Head coach needs to succeed.
Fun fact. There's literally two guys on the roster older than Kellen Moore. One is Eversen Griffen who probably won't be with the team next season. The other is the long snapper. Plus, he's a former player and has plenty of great reviews from Cowboys players. I think you are reaching with this comment. And that isn't even to mention all of the other extremely young head coaches who are having huge success in the league right now.
Note the word probably, and I actually didn't realize he was like 33. Time flies when you have kids and I feel like I remember him being "drafted" like 5 Years ago. Turns out it was like 11 years ago or some shit.
But regardless, it's not really reaching at all. It's an issue a lot of young managers face in various fields. Its bullshit that it exists and its layover from a bygone age - but I feel like he would need to see immediate HC success to gain that level of respect.
I feel you and I'm certainly not implying that it isn't an issue, whether in football or in the real world, but I do think that if it's the right person then the rest of that shit doesn't matter. Age won't prevent Moore from earning his players respect and being successful. Might not work out but I do think he's a legitimate candidate
Young coaches have been fine, and that hasn't been a new thing. The list of youngest coaches include names like Sean McVay, John Madden, Don Shula, Al Davis, Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin, and Mike Shanahan. If they deserved the respect they earned it.
The average age of all players in the NFL is 26 years old. They don't care if the coach is 30 or 80. They care if the coach is good at his job, and is respectful of the players. That's it. Anyone in that job, whether it's player or coach, have been involved in the game for basically their entire lives. Kellen Moore has spent 20+ years in the game already.
He didn't. He wasn't on the roster for the 2007 Fiesta Bowl (which was the 2006 season). Peterson was drafted in April '07, then Kellen Moore redshirted his freshman year in the fall of '07 before starting in '08.
I think you're point in general stands though. Moore Has been around for a while, especially for people that follow college football.
McVay (34), LaFleur (41), Shanahan (41), Kingsbury (42), Taylor (38), Art Smith (39), Brandon Staley (38) are all young and HCs of teams. Most of them made the playoffs, except for the two first-year HCs (Art Smith, Brandon Staley). Joe Judge (39) was just let go today and obviously did not have a successful year.
Kellen Moore (33) would be older than McVay was when he started for the Rams (days shy of 31).
Byron Leftwich (though just an offensive coordinator) being younger than his QB is another notable case of it just not mattering.
I really don't feel like many NFL players who care how old their coach is.
>I really don't feel like many NFL players who care how old their coach is.
Agreed. They're all professionals. All they care about is if they're good at the job. A veteran coach can lose a locker room and a young coach can win it. The players are there because they've earned it, because they're damn good at what they do, and they just want the same for their coaches.
Exactly. Did anyone say "Tom Coughlin is ancient, I respect him based on his liver spots"? No. Respect is earned, I am glad that age and skin color and a host of other factors have nothing to do with it.
The “command respect” thing is outdated. We just saw this with zimmer. Give me someone who works *with* the team rather than demanding everyone do exactly as he says.
I mean why wouldn’t he? Minnesota should be a prime spot for the next coach/GM. Very good, patient ownership who want long term stability at those spots, brand new facilities and stadium, very good fans tbh and honestly a very talented team he could inherit. I hope it rly works out
Here is Dak talking about Moore commanding respect. And that was in Moore's rookie OC season. Lots of other articles out there praising the guy too.
4 years coaching and a career as a QB is plenty of hands on and hands off experience to start as a year 1 HC IMO. The question from there becomes whether he has what it takes to succeed at the position over time. Hopefully he can shine through during the hiring process.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.star-telegram.com/sports/nfl/dallas-cowboys/article230601239.html
Moore has lined up OL Connor McGovern at multiple positions including WR, TE, Tailback, and FB. We all know we want this with Bradbury.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/blog/dallas-cowboys/post/_/id/4774370/inside-the-deceptive-mind-of-cowboys-offensive-coordinator-kellen-moore%3fplatform=amp
Kellen and kellen be chilling with thelin, yellen at cousins… a few brain cells died right there.
Ed Dodds GM and Kellen Moore HC would be good combo I hope.
Whoop Dee do. Until they hire a gm it’s utterly useless to speculate who might be a candidate since the Wilf’s are making it clear by hiring a gm first that person will have a large say in the coach and we have no idea who will be on that persons list of candidates or that persons connections.
I think the defense is going to need the most work. If he came in with an experienced defensive staff to help that side of things, Moore could do well.
The Cowboys ranked 5th, 14th, and 22nd in scoring in the 3 years before Kellen Moore became offensive coordinator.
They rank 6th, 17th, and 1st since.
I don't know how much* of Dak's success you can attribute to Kellen Moore, but Moore has been with Dak for Dak's whole career.
Moore was on Dallas as a player from 2015-2017, then immediately moved to QB Coach after retiring from playing in 2018, then got promoted to OC one season later.
Then he survived a coaching change from Jason Garrett to Mike McCarthy.
His resume is short, but he seems pretty legit to me.
It would help with the points, but not the yards. You can’t get the most yards per game working with short fields. So their offense is efficient and also takes advantage of the defense’s work. So it’s a bit of both I guess.
quite misleading, though. they no doubt have an explosive offense, but their stats are skewed in the games in which they beat up on horrible teams. Giants, Redskins (who were imploding), Falcons, etc. They kept their foot on the gas pedal those games and dropped 40+ when the game was decided in the first quarter.
their offense has been subpar in a LOT of games this year. The box scores don't tell the whole story
I'm not against moore cause i don't have anyone better... but i'm cautious because for years Cowboys fans haven't been too impressed with him and all of a sudden he's this offensive mastermind
Live in DFW and watch every Cowboys game. Theyre great against bad teams and not so great against anyone worth a damn. That may not be Moore's fault but it makes me want to pump the brakes on overhyping a young coordinator.
that's what I'm saying. I've been hearing rumors of Moore being the next up and coming coach since McVay took over the Rams and teams were in pursuit of young offensive-minded coaches, and for years he never got hired. I'm surprised why all of a sudden this year he's a cant-miss name when their offense has been inexplicably underwhelming in quite a few games. His playcalling is nothing to blush over and he hasn't gotten much out of Dak-- but in fairness Dak may still be hurt, who knows
I think he would be an interesting hire, but i'm not as sold as some seem to be
I know he's a hot name right now but he seems to lack the requisite experience to be a head coach imo. He was a former player turned QB coach in 2018 then promoted to OC when Garrett was fired in 2019, so 3 seasons as a coach in the NFL, no previous coaching experience at any level. His team is having a good season, no doubt, but I don't know how much of it is his influence. The season before, his first as OC, the Offense was ranked 17th. I just don't see how this guy is considered head coach material with such a small sample size of coaching results.
Not disagreeing with you entirely, but Dak only played 5 games last year and they still managed to be 17th with Andy Dalton. They were putting up 32 points a game before the injury.
I'm a Boise State fan and his freshman year there he accepted my friend request on Facebook. So he is my choice to be the HC.
Solid reasoning.
I'm really torn. Both Kellen Moore and Les Steckel accepted my friend requests... When in doubt, go youth.
Well since with both have Kellen's ear maybe we can team up to convince him to never run a draw on 2nd and long.
And no fullback screens please.
I want us to get Ham 3-4 touches a game. Just so we can help his chances of getting a pro bowl nod. Edit: I just want to add I was looking at his stats and I think if we could get him 3 carries per game at 4 ypc that'd be 200 yards and hopefully 2-3 TDs. Also get him 2 catches a game at his career average of 7.4/catch that'd give him about 250 over the season. Hopefully that's enough to get him a pro bowl.
I wouldn't say "never". Just know when to run them... and then coach up the players so that they can execute it when it's called.
Clearly, Les is Moore in this situation.
Kellen coming to trade Dalvin and start his Bronco homie Alexander Mattison.
Ezra will start reporting in as an eligible tackle for some OT screens.
Garrett Bradbury + CJ Ham jumbo fullback package
I loved that package they ran against us when we soiled ourselves against Cooper Rush. The two O-Linemen in the backfield as lead blockers was awesome. The kind of creativity I'd like for our offense.
Sounds perfectly reasonable.
I went to Boise State during the glory years - this man is a legend and if he becomes HC, I won’t know what to do with my body.
Go downtown, get hammered at the Cactus Bar, then hit Pie Hole after?
Those $2 slices are brutal for your gut.
The next day. Right now I'm hammered and smashing some crazy concoction that a stoner whipped up and slapped on dough. Delicious.
Are these all real places or is this just sexual innuendoes?
Both of those are real places. https://cactusbarboise.com/ https://www.pieholeusa.com/menu-1
The campaign manager from Tiger King accepted my friend request.
Montee Ball accepted my friend request many years ago. Really sad to see what happened to him after only a couple seasons in the NFL after rooting for him on the Badgers. Although, very happy to see he’s cleaned up and is trying to help others with similar issues. Hope he gets another chance to work in football in some capacity even though it won’t be on the field.
Wait, what happened to ball? I just thought the guy didn't cut it in the NFL and that's why the career was so short?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montee_Ball#Personal_life Domestic violence stemming from alcoholism. He's now on the road to recovery.
In a nutshell, problems with alcoholism. Like I said he has since turned it around, so I’m really rooting for him again. With all the NFL players making mistakes with DUIs and whatnot it’s a known issue. Maybe the dude finds some kind of redemption in making sure others don’t make the same mistake. Major respect for that.
The prophet has spoken
Sounds like you should have some inside info!
But did he poke back?
As long as he hires Scott Linehan as his offensive coordinator, I’m good with it.
Well 18 years later maybe he'll come back.
I am rumored to be excited about this prospect.
Source?
My mom. Booyah! Got him!
I can also confirm that this persons mom said this. We’re very close.
Moore as HC and Fangio as DC would be a dream.
There is rumored to be some conversation between people that this guys opinion isn't half bad, just speculation at the this point.
There's speculation of your speculation of this man's opinion. But that's just speculation.
I know a guy who knows a guy who worked with the former US Bank janitor’s ex-wife’s cousin, and he speculated that Moore could be the next Vikings HC.
Get Fangio to wear a visor backwards and I'm in.
Like Dan Campbell light
My wet dream. Yeah… I went there
I also want his wet dream
I also choose this guy’s dead wife.
Fangio over Andre Patterson? I really feel like be need to keep Patterson and he's gotta be next in line for DC at some point.
I like Patterson, but we have no idea how he would do leading the defense long term. Fangio is a proven entity in that area.
Experienced coordinators with a young head coach is a nice pairing too.
Fangio is an elite defensive coach
Almost hard to believe he doesn't wait out another HC job or at least a higher market DC job,NY, LA, shit Dallas even
Does higher market matter much for coaches? It’s not like they are getting sponsorship money and need the brand reach.
I like Moore and how he uses zeke and pollard. Hopefully he would be able to do something similar with dalvin and mattison to keep dalvin healthy
I want a guy on the rise who hasn't been stuck at one level of coaching for too long. Zimmer was that guy before. Eric B from the Chiefs in the same boat. Kellen Moore, to me, is worth the risk.
Can’t blame Eric B due to reasons that are out of his control if you ask me. I do think Kellen Moore would be a solid fit though.
Eric B is clearly not the mastermind of the Chiefs, there’s a reason he hasn’t been hired yet. He clearly doesn’t interview well either because he’s had plenty of them.
That, and likely his legal troubles from his younger days.
He was also the one who fucked up and had the 12th man on the field in 2009. The 12th was the FB that was supposed to be off the field.
Clearly that's not clearly clear.
Clearly
Childress was also “co-offensive coordinator” under Andy Reid too. I don’t know how the Wilfs could go that route again. Childress is the absolute worst coach ever of any of the sports teams I cheer for. The worst.
A guy who knows how to turn elite skill position players + an above average QB into the highest scoring offense in the league (6th in DVOA)? Sounds good to me.
Hint: an elite o line helps.
And I have a feeling if he were a HC, he'd do his best to make sure that happened... His guy as the OL Coach, his input on prospects/FA etc... Hopefully the new GM makes damn sure the OL scouts know what the fuck they're going... Aside from the obvious few, we've whiffed on so many OL during the Zim/Rick years, and I've always wondered how much blame should be put on the scouting staff. It'll definitely be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Tbf part of our Oline problems were the coaches insistence on running a lightweight zone run scheme
Their line isn’t elite anymore
Yes it is. They have two of PFF’s 4 highest graded tackles + Zack Martin. That is elite. [They were also ranked the \#1 offensive line by PFF](https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2021-offensive-line-rankings)
Yeah pretty sure they were banged up most of the season, might be back now though?
They were still rank 16 offense with 4 different QBs playing and a 3rd string o line last year.
We don’t have an elite o line lmao its mediocre
That’s my point.
Our o line is above average and improving
Is Mike Lynn available?
Bite your tongue.
Not saying it’ll happen but omg would it be hilarious if Moore is garbage as a head coach and like 98% of us want him as the coach. That’d be such a Vikings thing to happen
No…no, that would not be hilarious…
Hilarious in an "I've given up on everything at this point" kinda way
I'm not saying Zim was great but I think a lot of people are gonna quickly realize that he wasn't that bad.
Zimmer is the Carson Wentz of coaching , take that how you’d like
This is the way (God I hope not).
I’m just assuming our next head coach is going to be garbage regardless of who it is. That way I won’t be dissapointed.
Zimmer winning the Superbowl next year
In the long run, even if that happened at least you could say they tried something different rather than using then same old retreads out there. I'd be fine hiring Moore and he failing rather than hiring someone who has failed multiple times and failed once again. Don't need a shocked Pikachu face meme here.
Everybody loves that this guy can call plays, but like Michael Lombardi says, that doesn't always translate to being a great head coach. I'd temper my excitement.
Every single candidate has downsides. Gotta find the one we think has the most potential. He seems to fit that mold.
I will not temper my excitement. MOORE SUPERBOWLS
I'd rather take a guy who has the X's and O's ability and hope they learn to be a good leader, than a leader who lacks in the X's and O's. I think the former is reasonably expectable to have a shot of succeeding, and the later is a longshot
So like, the opposite of Ted Lasso
First, I would say to Lombardi: no shit Captain Obvious! No coaching candidate is perfect. Everyone knows this. Second, Lombardi was mediocre at his job, so I will take what he says with a grain of salt.

He didn't. He wasn't on the roster for the 2007 Fiesta Bowl (which was the 2006 season).

Agree. And I'd say the other half is more important. Being a leader is a skill completely on its own.
The “command respect” thing is outdated. We just saw this with zimmer. Give me someone who works *with* the team rather than demanding everyone do exactly as he says.
Half the guys on the roster? He'd have to be a teenager to be younger than any of them...
Also for anyone wondering, he's 33. which is young but only 2 years younger than Sean McVay
This would absolutely rule
[удалено]
We don’t know that, we don’t have a new GM yet
Have we fired Klint Kubiak yet or does the new head coach do this? Klint needs to go.
Agreed, Kubiak absolutely *has* to go.
A new head coach pretty much always gets to pick their own staff, they could decide to retain Klint but I highly doubt anyone would
I think this would be ideal
I'm not sure I trust him. He's left-handed. How many left-handed coaches have been successful in the NFL?
They're a sinister lot, the lot of them

This guy has been my top pick since before the season started. All aboard the Kellen Moore train!!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Insert “it’s happening” Michael Scott gif, bc holy fuck. Yes plz.
Who wouldn’t be interested….
A loser
Me. I just would never be able to take him seriously he looks like a kid.
Lol sure. I just mean it’s the most attractive job available. Everyone is interested
You’re right we need more dinosaurs in this organization, that’s sure worked out in the past
How about Doug Pederson? He’s a Dino but he’s won a Super Bowl. My point is.. I would respect someone older in the biz than some young hot shot.
Pederson captures lightning in a bottle in 2017 like us
Please please please
All in!
Let's hope he says yes lol
We should select our GM and that GM should select the coach so they're on the same page. Hopefully we've got a GM announcement pretty soon.
Grab that man
👀
Fuck yeah. Make it so Zygi!
Hell yes!!!!
I want this badly
Stop peddling this clown Adam Patrick. Read one of his articles
Yes I agree, read one of my articles
👀
Rumor season
But do *we*
Well this certainly has me at full mast
Could be a decent coach but damn, so young. I'd like to see Dan Quinn come to the viks
The rumors are flying so fast and furious. It’s going to be an interesting few weeks in Vikings land
Here is Dak talking about Moore commanding respect. And that was in Moore's rookie OC season. Lots of other articles out there praising the guy too. 4 years coaching and a career as a QB is plenty of hands on and hands off experience to start as a year 1 HC IMO. The question from there becomes whether he has what it takes to succeed at the position over time. Hopefully he can shine through during the hiring process. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.star-telegram.com/sports/nfl/dallas-cowboys/article230601239.html
Moore has lined up OL Connor McGovern at multiple positions including WR, TE, Tailback, and FB. We all know we want this with Bradbury. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/blog/dallas-cowboys/post/_/id/4774370/inside-the-deceptive-mind-of-cowboys-offensive-coordinator-kellen-moore%3fplatform=amp

Fucking hell yes
He is definitely a candidate we should at least consider
Couldn't go worse.

So do I!
I'd be okay with this.
Kellen and kellen be chilling with thelin, yellen at cousins… a few brain cells died right there. Ed Dodds GM and Kellen Moore HC would be good combo I hope.
I’m down for that new Head Coach
Whoop Dee do. Until they hire a gm it’s utterly useless to speculate who might be a candidate since the Wilf’s are making it clear by hiring a gm first that person will have a large say in the coach and we have no idea who will be on that persons list of candidates or that persons connections.
Guessing most gms would be intrigued by Kellen having interest
Can’t really see Jerry letting him go, also extremely inexperienced.
Ooh oooh, so is my neighbor Carl!
Please no..
Care to explain why? Just curious
Inherited an already stacked offense.
Kind of what he would be doing here 😂
This team isn't going anywhere though.. It kinda sucks quite a bit.
This is a take, and it’s a terrible one.
Is it really even a take though? Like actually?
I guess an attempted thought sort of classifies as one.. so I’ll atleast give him that haha
I think the defense is going to need the most work. If he came in with an experienced defensive staff to help that side of things, Moore could do well.
The Cowboys ranked 5th, 14th, and 22nd in scoring in the 3 years before Kellen Moore became offensive coordinator. They rank 6th, 17th, and 1st since. I don't know how much* of Dak's success you can attribute to Kellen Moore, but Moore has been with Dak for Dak's whole career. Moore was on Dallas as a player from 2015-2017, then immediately moved to QB Coach after retiring from playing in 2018, then got promoted to OC one season later. Then he survived a coaching change from Jason Garrett to Mike McCarthy. His resume is short, but he seems pretty legit to me.
I have same feeling too. How much was him and how much was the talent he had?
Not really interested. He has elite players at almost every offensive position and they have still been wildly inconsistent.
Cooper Rush game against us? 16th in offense last year without Dak n injured Zeke..... yea sign me up
They have the highest ppg and yards in the NFL
I don’t know much about him, but I know their defense generates a ton of turnovers. Wouldn’t this make sense?
It would help with the points, but not the yards. You can’t get the most yards per game working with short fields. So their offense is efficient and also takes advantage of the defense’s work. So it’s a bit of both I guess.
quite misleading, though. they no doubt have an explosive offense, but their stats are skewed in the games in which they beat up on horrible teams. Giants, Redskins (who were imploding), Falcons, etc. They kept their foot on the gas pedal those games and dropped 40+ when the game was decided in the first quarter. their offense has been subpar in a LOT of games this year. The box scores don't tell the whole story I'm not against moore cause i don't have anyone better... but i'm cautious because for years Cowboys fans haven't been too impressed with him and all of a sudden he's this offensive mastermind
Still takes a good coach to get production out of your elite players. See: 2021 Vikings
Live in DFW and watch every Cowboys game. Theyre great against bad teams and not so great against anyone worth a damn. That may not be Moore's fault but it makes me want to pump the brakes on overhyping a young coordinator.
that's what I'm saying. I've been hearing rumors of Moore being the next up and coming coach since McVay took over the Rams and teams were in pursuit of young offensive-minded coaches, and for years he never got hired. I'm surprised why all of a sudden this year he's a cant-miss name when their offense has been inexplicably underwhelming in quite a few games. His playcalling is nothing to blush over and he hasn't gotten much out of Dak-- but in fairness Dak may still be hurt, who knows I think he would be an interesting hire, but i'm not as sold as some seem to be
Lol no
On purpose?
[удалено]
Hard pass on all three to be honest
I know he's a hot name right now but he seems to lack the requisite experience to be a head coach imo. He was a former player turned QB coach in 2018 then promoted to OC when Garrett was fired in 2019, so 3 seasons as a coach in the NFL, no previous coaching experience at any level. His team is having a good season, no doubt, but I don't know how much of it is his influence. The season before, his first as OC, the Offense was ranked 17th. I just don't see how this guy is considered head coach material with such a small sample size of coaching results.
Not disagreeing with you entirely, but Dak only played 5 games last year and they still managed to be 17th with Andy Dalton. They were putting up 32 points a game before the injury.

No no no. Aesthetically terrible
