The Dallas Cowboys are set to interview Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore on Friday, just before the Eagles' NFC divisional round game against the Los Angeles Rams. Moore, who has overseen the Eagles' No. 7 scoring offense this season, previously spent several seasons with the Cowboys, starting as a backup quarterback in 2015. He transitioned into coaching, first as quarterbacks coach and then as offensive coordinator, consistently leading Dallas to top 10 scoring ranks during his tenure.

Moore's familiarity with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his history with the franchise make him a significant candidate for the Cowboys' head coaching position. Critics have pointed to a predictable offensive strategy under Moore, raising questions about the compatibility of his play-calling with the team's execution, particularly in the latter part of his tenure. Should he be hired, he may fill a role similar to that of former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett, with whom Jones shares a deep connection.
