On Thursday it was announced that first-year quarterbacks coach Kellen Moore will be promoted to offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys. Just hours later, and ESPN’s Todd Archer reported that the Cowboys are unlikely to extend the contract of head coach Jason Garrett, whose current deal ends after the 2019 season.
Those two reports appear to be linked. Dallas is taking a chance on a young, unproven offensive coordinator and Garrett’s job may be on the line if the change does not result in a deep playoff run this upcoming season.
