The Dallas Cowboys’ struggles continue, as they missed the playoffs and watched their division rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles, win the Super Bowl. To make matters worse, former coordinators Dan Quinn and Kellen Moore have achieved success elsewhere, with Quinn leading the Washington Commanders to the NFC Championship game and Moore becoming a Super Bowl-winning coach with the Eagles.
The Cowboys’ decision to move on from head coach Mike McCarthy has led to a coaching staff reset, but it’s hard not to wonder what could have been if they had held onto Quinn and Moore. Both coaches had success in Dallas, with Quinn’s defense and Moore’s offense ranking among the best in the league at times.
Moore’s success with the Eagles has been impressive, but some have downplayed his achievements, citing the team’s strong defense and talented players like Saquon Barkley. However, Moore’s ability to adapt and call a masterful game in the Super Bowl cannot be ignored. He proved that his offense is not one-dimensional and can beat teams in different ways.
The debate over Moore’s coaching abilities will continue, but it’s clear that he’s a talented coach who has made the most of his opportunities. Cowboys fans may want to believe that Moore’s departure was the reason for the team’s struggles, but it’s apparent that’s not the case. With Moore now a Super Bowl champion and head coach of the New Orleans Saints, it’s time to acknowledge his coaching prowess and admit that letting him go was a mistake.
