If this is the year that NFL star offensive coordinator Kellen Moore gets his shot to be a young rookie head coach, here's why going back to Dallas or replacing someone who used to coach in Philadelphia makes the most sense.

The Dallas Cowboys conducted an interview with Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore on Friday as they try to find a replacement for Mike McCarthy, who parted ways with the organization earlier this week.

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.
