Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore was once believed to be the next in line in Dallas dating back to the Jason Garrett era. But after the Cowboys decided to go with Mike McCarthy (and later get rid of him) Moore took his talents to LA and Philly.

As the Dallas Cowboys embark on their search to replace Mike McCarthy as head coach, Kellen Moore’s name came up right away. Tuesday, he reacted to the speculation around the opening.

Kellen Moore, as expected, is a hot candidate for NFL coaching jobs and the team that could have the most interest in the Eagles’ first-year play caller created a vacancy Monday when the Dallas Cowboys fired Mike McCarthy.
