• The Dallas Cowboys have requested to interview Kellen Moore, currently the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles.
• This decision comes after the Cowboys parted ways with head coach Mike McCarthy, who led the team for five seasons.
• Moore initially joined the Cowboys' coaching staff in 2018 and has a successful track record in offensive performance.
• The Cowboys are also exploring other candidates, including former NFL head coaches Robert Saleh and Leslie Frazier.
• The Eagles, with Moore at the helm, are currently ranked second in scoring and first in rushing this season.

The Dallas Cowboys are making strides in their head coaching search by officially requesting permission to interview Kellen Moore, who serves as the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles. According to reports, this move follows the team's recent separation from long-time head coach Mike McCarthy, who guided the Cowboys for five seasons, ending with a disappointing exit from the playoffs this year after a loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Moore, who spent crucial years as both a player and then a coach within the Cowboys' organization since 2018, has built a reputation for strong offensive strategy, particularly during his previous tenure as the team's offensive coordinator, which lasted until last season (AP News).

In his coaching career, Moore has seen his teams rank consistently in the upper echelon for offensive scoring, missing the playoffs only during a challenging year when quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a severe injury. After a year with the Los Angeles Chargers, where he also found success, Moore took command of the Eagles' offense, leading them to an impressive ranking this season. Currently, the Eagles rank second in scoring and first in rushing (USA Today).

As the Cowboys delve deeper into their coaching search, they've also identified other candidates, including former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh and Seattle Seahawks assistant head coach Leslie Frazier. The team's owner, Jerry Jones, has begun informal discussions with notable figures, including former Cowboys player and current Colorado coach Deion Sanders, as they explore the future direction of their franchise.

The Cowboys hope to finalize their coaching appointment as they aim to rejuvenate their postseason ambitions, while Moore continues to prepare for another playoff challenge with the Eagles this weekend. As the NFL coaching landscape shifts, all eyes will be on Dallas to see who ultimately leads them in the coming season.
