Well, it’s happened: the Cowboys have decided to part ways with offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. To make things more interesting, head coach Mike McCarthy is expected to take over the play-calling, something he did for all but one season in Green Bay.
So now Dallas is in need of an offensive coordinator, but not someone who will actually call plays. That limits the list of potential candidates, and likely leaves just coaches who have ties to McCarthy. Offensive line coach Joe Philbin would’ve been a prime candidate, and filled that role twice in Green Bay, but his contract was not renewed following this season.
