On Monday night, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter named two former Cowboys players who could be in the hunt for the job in Big D. They fit a route owner Jerry Jones has gone before with former head coach Jason Garrett.
Deion Sanders and Kellen Moore are the two names tied the most often to the Dallas Cowboys since the franchise moved on from Mike McCarthy last Monday.
The Dallas Cowboys made two major moves this week that sent shockwaves through the NFL. The first one was parting ways with head coach Mike McCarthy. The second was speaking with Colorado's Deion Sanders about the vacant position.
Interestingly enough, Moore would not be the first Latter-day Saint head coach for the Cowboys. Dave Campo coached in Dallas from 2000-02, after converting to the faith during his stint at Weber State in the 1980s. Moore’s Eagles are currently in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs and will host Puka Nacua’s Los Angeles Rams Sunday afternoon.

Kellen Moore is reportedly a candidate to become Mike McCarthy's successor according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. While the Cowboys search has just begun, Moore is in the running for the job and he could end up as their coach for the 2025 season.
As the NFL offseason continues for most teams, the Cowboys plan to interview Eagles OC Kellen Moore for their vacant head coach position.
Jerry Jones' unwillingness to break the bank for a head coach could be a major obstacle for the Dallas Cowboys if they want to pursue Deion Sanders.
NFL insider Adam Schefter added another person to the list of potential new Dallas Cowboys head coaches. Besides Deion Sanders, Schefter said that former All-Pro tight end Jason Witten could find his way back to AT&T Stadium this offseason.
If Kellen Moore moves to the Cowboys? Josh McCown's time in Philadelphia was short, but he fits the bill on what the team may need as a play-caller.
