On Thursday, the Cowboys made official what we have all been expecting for the last week or so: Kellen Moore has been promoted to offensive coordinator and Jon Kitna has been hired as the new quarterbacks coach. A lot of people are understandably focused on Moore’s elevation to the coordinator position, especially with news that he will likely call plays, but Kitna’s hire could be as important.
Kitna will be the third quarterbacks coach in Dak Prescott’s four years in the NFL, and arguably the best one he’ll have. Kitna brings with him 17 years as a quarterback in the NFL playing for four different teams, including the Cowboys.
