Sorry but no that’s just not correct. Jason Garrett hired Kellen Moore and then Mike McCarthy, offensive guru, kept him on and let him call the plays. Then once he didn’t care for playcalls in a playoff game, he threw Kellen under the bus and criticized his whole offensive philosophy.

I posted this yesterday, but according to Aikman, Jones made the decision to keep Moore when McCarthy was hired. Somebody else posted an article that made it clear that there were philosophical differences between McCarthy and Moore.

Any personal feelings about either of these guys aside, it’s generally not going to be a good situation to force staffing decisions on a head coach. McCarthy probably should have never taken the Cowboys job. In the same segment, Aikman pushed back on the idea that the Cowboys coaching job is “coveted”, suggesting organizational challenges make it a difficult place for a head coach to succeed at the highest level.
