That's incorrect--about McCarthy hiring him. Moore went straight from the field, to QB coach in 2018 and promo'd to OC and play caller in 2019 (while McCarthy was sitting out)...In his first season as offensive coordinator in 2019, Moore guided the Cowboys to the NFL's top-ranked offensive attack (431.5 ypg) while ranking second in passing offense (296.9 ypg) and fifth in rushing offense (134.6 ypg). Prescott finished second in the NFL with a career-high 4,902 passing yards (second-most in franchise history) and fourth with a career-high 30 passing touchdowns. The unit also featured running back Ezekiel Elliott, who logged the second-most scrimmage yards (1,777) and fourth-most rushing yards (1,357) in the NFL, and Cooper, whose breakout campaign included career highs in receiving yards (1,189) and receiving touchdowns (eight).

Big Mike was hired after that and Jerry basically wasn't about to just let Moore walk. Moore runs the ball plenty when he has the personnel--see Saquon this year or several other examples over the years in Dallas. He's a very good candidate imo, checks plenty of boxes--even if Mick might not know him that well...

25/hr guaranteed

Maybe to you, but what else is there to do when you're living in a burning house and the owners keep acting as if nothing is wrong?

The rational choice is to stop living in that house.

I think Moore ends up in Dallas. Jones loves him. He's the type of coach Jones can push around too. Can't do that with someone like Belichick. Jones also loves Jason Witten, longtime now retired Cowboys TE. Don't be surprised if he ends up with a big job on Moore's staff. All of the Deion talk is just Jerry stirring shirt to keep the Cowboys at the forefront of discussions.
