Kellen Moore “Leading Candidate” To Be Cowboys’ OC, John Kitna Expected To Be QBs Coach

Update:

Adam Schefter reports that Kellen Moore is the “leading candidate” to be the Cowboys’ next offensive coordinator with the team expected to hire John Kitna as their QBs coach.

Chris Mortensen adds that Cowboys HC Jason Garrett is in line to be the team’s play-caller in 2019.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that one possibility regarding the Cowboys is for them to promote QBs coach Kellen Moore to offensive coordinator and hire Jon Kitna as their QBs coach.

According to Rapoport, this is at least something being discussed in Dallas.

Moore, 29, originally signed on with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Boise State back in 2012. Detroit elected to move on from Moore at the start of the 2015 season and later signed on to the Cowboys’ practice squad.

Moore missed the entire 2016 season with a broken ankle but he returned to Dallas last March. After being waived last October, the Cowboys added him to their practice squad for the remainder of the season.

Last year, Moore made the decision to join the Cowboys as their QBs coach and end his playing career.

In 2015, Moore appeared in three games for the Cowboys and completed 58.7 percent of his passes for 779 yards receiving to go along with four touchdowns and six interceptions.
