Not this year, he figured out how to hide a marginal passer like Hurts and utilize a great O-Line and generational RB. He has a lot of the hallmarks we should be looking for in a young coordinator.
Also anyone (already seen a few) questioning his time (while cutting his teeth as a PC, mind you) then check out the actual numbers his offenses put up, not just what you imagined or your Cowboy fan friend thought:
Moore spent the first five seasons (2018-22) of his coaching career with the Dallas Cowboys. During his four-year stint as the offensive coordinator, Moore orchestrated a unit that ranked second in the NFL in total offense (391.0 ypg), scoring offense (27.7 ppg), and touchdowns, third in first downs per game (22.5), fourth in passing offense (264.4 ypg) and third-down conversion rate (44.1 pct.), and seventh in rushing offense (126.6 ypg). He helped Dallas to three playoff appearances and two NFC East championships while mentoring nine players to a combined 13 Pro Bowl appearances.
Under Moore's direction in 2022, the Cowboys navigated an early-season injury to quarterback Dak Prescott and finished with a 12-5 record to earn a trip to the postseason. Returning from injury, Prescott ranked among the NFL's top passers down the stretch, as his 20 passing touchdowns from Week 10 until the end of the regular season tied for the most in the league. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who caught 107 passes for 1,359 yards and nine touchdowns, and running back Tony Pollard, who set career highs in rushing yards (1,007) and touchdowns (nine), were voted Pro Bowlers.
In 2021, Moore's offense led the league in total yards per game (407.0) and points per game (31.2), while tying for second in passing yards per game (282.4). Prescott threw for a team-record 37 touchdowns on a career-high 410 completions, registering a 104.2 passer rating (third in the NFL in 2021 and fourth in Dallas' single-season history). In his second season, Lamb led the offense with 79 receptions for 1,102 yards and six scores. Tight end Dalton Schultz enjoyed a breakout season with 78 catches for 808 yards and eight touchdowns, joining Jason Witten as the only Cowboys tight ends with 70 receptions and 800 yards in a season. Dallas sent three offensive players to the Pro Bowl – Lamb, guard Zack Martin, and tackle Tyron Smith.
Through the first five weeks of the 2020 season, Moore helped Prescott lead the league in passing yards (1,856) before he suffered a season-ending injury. Despite utilizing four different quarterbacks and eight different offensive line combinations, Moore's unit ranked eighth in passing offense (260.1 ypg). Wide receiver Amari Cooper led the group with a career-high 92 receptions for 1,114 yards and five touchdowns, while Lamb set the franchise rookie record with 74 catches for 935 yards and five touchdowns.
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).
Moore originally joined Dallas' coaching staff as the quarterbacks coach in 2018, when he tutored Prescott to his second career Pro Bowl.
Bonus: Moore finished his collegiate career at Boise State with a 50-3 record (.943 winning percentage), marking the most wins by a quarterback in NCAA history. He ended his career ranked in the top 10 in all major passing categories, including second in touchdown passes (142), third in completion percentage (69.8 pct.), and sixth in passing yards (14,667). Moore was voted a first-team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America in 2010 and was a three-time Offensive Player of the Year (2009-11). While he was under center (2008-11), Boise State turned in four consecutive 12-win seasons, including the first 14-0 record in school history.
