Jerruh went and got Dak a top flight offensive coordinator
- Thread starter PineGroveBully
- Start date
Get a good TE this offseason, and they should be in good shape. Be good if they could land Tyler Eifert (pending his health). A red zone target would help Dak.
Now it's came out that Jerry won't extend Garrett, meaning I think that Jerry is saying this is it, win next year or he's throwing the brinks truck at someone like Payton. Or with his love affair with him Tony Romo.......
They may just be using him to implement whatever Garrett says. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing.
FWIW, I seem to recall Dak, in his rookie year, speaking very highly of KM, and how much he helped Dak.
Good player
does not always translate into a good coach.
He has the knowledge, but can he transfer it to players at practice, and on the field?

Exactly he isn't leaving the booth to become a coordinator. I'd argue for the jack he's taking home and as much golf as he loves and gets to play he'd be retarded to ever leave. Doesn't mean Jerry won't make him say no to $10M
This.
Always makes me cringe when people spout off ex players as “hey hire that guy. He’d be awesome.” With absolutely no coaching experience Ever.
Heck you can be a great head coach and not be a good coordinator.
Two completely different jobs.
You can be great at getting players ready to play and even have good plays but you might be horrible at play calling during a live game.

The talking heads are making way to big of a deal out of his predicting a handful of plays. 1) he got to sit in on the player/coaches meetings leading up to the game. 2) he gets to watch the teams practice and go thru walk-throughs, and 3) The defense isn't trying to fool him.
Now he is very good and seems to have good instincts but let's not go overboard

You mean the same Tyler Eifert who has strung together one healthy season in his entire career? Hard pass. That would be a terrible move.
After living in Texas for so many years and reading the Dallas Morning News every day I continue to pay for an online subscription to that paper today. The writers for the DMN have never shied away from calling Jerry our over his ridiculous moves whether it be in coaching hires, free agency or whatever.
Those writers have been calling for Linehan’s exit for a couple of years. I figured when Kellen Moore’s name was first mentioned that they would be all over Jerry for even thinking of hiring him-so I was really surprised that the talk about Moore has been so positive. He’s getting all kinds of glowing praise from most of the best writers. Evidently Moore is some kind of football “savant” or something. Ever since he started playing organized football he has been drawing up plays on basically anything he has handy. He is regarded as a brilliant offensive mind and he has a very good feel for calling plays. The main thing is that Dak really likes the guy and says that he has helped him as much or more than anyone else in the staff-Dak has nothing but praise for the guy. The players who were around him at the Senior Bowl all talked about what a great offensive mind he has. His coaches at Boise State always talked about how he was more like a coach on the field than a mere player. He was given full authority to change the play any time he felt the wrong play had been called, and he had an uncanny ability to be right just about every time.
Moore evidently knows a lot about the “nuts and bolts” of the offense-moreso than coaches much older and much more experienced than he is. Jerry doesn’t have a reputation for hiring “on the cheap”, so I don’t think that money has anything to do with this. I just think that Moore may be a rising star in the football profession. One thing is for sure-if he’s an imposter it won’t take long for him to be exposed.

Everyone gets hurt at TE. Are you passing on Gronk, Jordan Reed, OJ Howard, Greg Olson & Delanie Walker too?
By all accounts, Moore is going to be a good one.
Kellen Moore has more experience than Sean McVay did when he became an offensive coordinator in Washington or Josh McDaniels in New England. Travis Fredrick and Dak have both called him a football genius in the last few weeks. Getting past Garrett's nature will be the big challenge.
So he is just like Moorhead?
I think we were all amazed by the play calling this year.
Well, I guess we’ll find out next season whether that was a wise move or not. I know that Dak’s mentioned a few times that he really likes Moore, so there’s that.
All I know is that it seemed like Dallas’s entire offense was designed to run at about 50% throttle last year, and it was frustrating as hell to watch. Yeah, Dak missed some throws, the line didn’t block, the ball was held too long... fine. There was also almost zero imagination, the offense rarely utilized Dak’s running skill set, and for the love... how many times did they wait til 3rd and 2 to throw a deep ball down the sideline?
One way or another, I’m just glad an adjustment has been made and if it doesn’t work, sounds like Garett will be the next
