Hypothetical: If Moore said no, then what?

Booker said

Yep, it happened in 2018 with the Colts and Josh McDaniels. They had agreed to terms, but after the Super Bowl McDaniels decided he wanted to stay in New England and backed out. The Colts pivoted to Frank Reich, who had been the OC for Philadelphia, who had just beaten New England in the Super Bowl.

Anything could happen, but Moore is in a much different position from McDaniels. McDaniels was trying to get his 2nd HC job which he knew would be his last chance as a HC so he has to be even more cautious about what he is going to take. And the consequence for McDaniels was that he had to wait 4 years for another HC job and only the Raiders would hire him.

Moore has been on the interview circuit for a few years and is trying to get his first offer. If he verbally accepted and then changed his mind, it would be a bad look for him. Or to use the popular phrase, changing his mind after verbally agreeing to take the job would be very bad optics for Moore and could hurt him while looking for other HC jobs in the future.

Now, if he hasn't verbally accepted, all bets are off.
