The Dallas Cowboys are now in need of a head coach after parting ways with Mike McCarthy after five seasons.
Would their former offensive coordinator currently with the Philadelphia Eagles do the trick?

Kellen Moore spent eight seasons in Dallas as both a backup quarterback, quarterback coach, and play-caller. He has plenty of connections in the room and is considered by our Mike Fisher in Dallas a top target for the team's head coach opening.
“I spent a lot of time there, eight years there. So [I] have plenty of relationships in that place,” Moore said when asked to speak out about the Cowboys. “I love it here. I've had so much fun here. It's been a really fun process, and we're in a really special situation right now, getting the chance to play this Sunday, having a chance to make a run at this thing, and that's really all you worry about."
Moore has remained steadfast in focus on helping the Eagles reach the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons. While their passing offense has struggled at times this season, their rushing attack has more than made up for it.
And it's that very rushing attack with a 2,000-yard runner in Saquon Barkley that has helped increase Moore's chances of receiving a coaching job now that Dallas is looking for an opening.
And the more the team wins with their offense being a big reason why, the more likely it is that Moore ends up getting a head coaching job this cycle after all.
