The Dallas Cowboys have completed a virtual interview with Philadelphia offensive coordinator Kellen Moore in the first formal step in the search to replace former coach Mike McCarthy.

The Dallas Cowboys have begun their head coaching search, but their hire must be made with Dak Prescott in mind.

Cowboys fans haven’t generally been excited about the proposition of a Moore reunion. Citing the many curl routes to nowhere and underwhelming route combinations, they would rather look at new blood for the head coaching position than bring back someone who, in their eyes, already tried and failed.

The Cowboys are set to interview a pair of former NFL head coaches next in Robert Saleh and Leslie Frazier. Saleh was fired by the New York Jets five games into his fourth season in 2024. Frazier, the assistant head coach in Seattle this season, spent three-plus years as coach of the Minnesota Vikings a decade ago.

He’s been the club’s backup QB, QB coach, and offensive coordinator. Now the Cowboys want to talk to Moore about coming back as the top dog.

The first of three scheduled head coaching interviews will happen on Friday when the Cowboys bring in former OC Kellen Moore.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones could bring in Colorado coach Deion Sanders, and if he does, a house-cleaning is possible.

Moore was Dallas franchise quarterback Dak Prescott’s play-caller from 2019-2022, which included the first three years of McCarthy’s five-year tenure.

Sports experts have argued that McCarthy's three (12-5) winning seasons may not have been a strong enough case to keep him in Dallas for a sixth season.
