Dolphins Coaching Search: The Case for Kellen Moore

Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is among the seven candidates who have been identified for the Miami Dolphins head-coaching opening

A little more than a week after firing head coach Brian Flores, the Miami Dolphins are very active these days interviewing candidates to become his replacement.

The Dolphins reportedly interviewed 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel via Zoom on Wednesday after talking to Bills assistants Brian Daboll and Leslie Frazier in person Sunday.

The team also reportedly is scheduled to interview Dallas' two coordinators, Dan Quinn and Kellen Moore, on Thursday and also has requested interviews with Vance Joseph and Thomas Brown.

As the process continues, we'll spotlight the candidates and make the case why each would represent a good hire for the Dolphins — along with a reason or two why he wouldn't.

-- Moore is what you call a young star in the coaching profession. Despite being only 32, Moore just finished his third season as Cowboys offensive coordinator. And the Cowboys finished first in 2021 in total offense and points scored, so Moore clearly has an idea of what he's doing.

-- Moore is perfectly suited to help develop a young quarterback and make the most of his ability, having played the position — and very well — at Boise State.

For the Dolphins, it also could be seen as a bonus that Moore is a lefty, just like Tua Tagovailoa because Moore has been where Tua is.
 
The biggest problem with that last play was the execution. Slide earlier, hand the ball back to the official instead of the center, and you have time for one more play.

Not using the WR more and wasting snaps playing Zeke instead of Pollard falls on Kellen Moore. Although the Zeke thing might be a direct order from Jerry Jones.
 
I'm on the Moore train. Best hire for us cause he'll immediately upgrade the offense - which is exactly what we need. Defense is pretty stout and after reading a little more about the McDaniels/Shannahan offense I can agree from a layman's point of view that it is difficult and time consuming to implement and have some success in...don't want a defensive retread in here - I want offense and lots of it fast.
 
I'm always a little skeptical when an assistant has that much talent to work with.

But, who knows. Again, if you're looking to maximize Tua then Moore could be a good fit.
 
I still think he'll wind up as Dallas' HC. Moore flew to Boise last year and everybody thought he'd take the HC job at Boise State, his alma mater. He said, no thanks. Jerry loves the guy and wants him to succeed McCarthy, whenever that may be.
 
I am not sure about Moore or not, but I don't have a problem with this call. I like that he was thinking outside the box. It was one of those plays that had to work perfectly, and it didn't. Some are saying Dak needed to hand the ball to the Umpire instead of placing it on the ground and that would have left 1 second on the clock. If true, it would have been nice if Moore made sure Dak was aware of the rules because if Dak had one more play and completed a hail Mary then everyone would be saying it was genius. That's football, I guess. One play, it's an atta-boy! and they are patting you on the back saying you're the man, an other, it's an awe **** and you're a douchbag!

-- If a big reason to consider Moore has been his success as a play-caller, then it's only fair to wonder about the decision to call a quarterback draw with 14 seconds left and no timeouts from the opponent's 41-yard line and needing a touchdown to win.
