Kellen Moore- Meet the Candidate- Part 6 of 12

[ProcessBlue2]

 

Kellen Moore, OC-LA Chargers

Kellen Moore, the man who almost got the job last season after just getting fired by the Cowboys.

Last season, Kellen Moore was the runner up for the job in Charlotte. Kellen Moore was one of the final interviews and he managed to make a strong case as to why he should be the top candidate. The Panthers even decided keep Kellen Moore in Charlotte overnight following his interview. The group discussed different possibilities, scenarios, and ideas with Moore, and made their decision the following day-preferring Frank Reich’s staff building connections instead.

So, who is Kellen Moore? The 35-year-old is a native of Washington state started 4 seasons at QB for Boise State. Moore would finish his college career with a 50-3 record, throwing for over 14,000 yards, 70% completion rate, and 142 TDs to 28 INTs. Moore won multiple awards while at Boise State including 2x WAC Offensive Player of the Year, MWC Player of the Year, and 2X QB of the Year. Despite this he would still go undrafted in 2012 and sign with the Detroit Lions.

He spent 3 years with Detroit never seeing the field. He spent an additional 3 years in Dallas only playing in 3 games and starting in 2- losing both. Over 3 games, Moore threw 779 yards, 4 TDs, and 6 INTs. In 2018 he retired from playing and joined the Cowboy’s staff as QB Coach. The following year, Jason Garrett would promote him to Offensive Coordinator. He was retained by new coach Mike McCarthy in 2020 and stayed in Dallas as OC until McCarthy and Moore mutually agreed to part ways at the end of the 2022 season. During his time in Dallas, his units would rank 1^st, 14^th, 1^st. and 11^th. Currently, his unit in LA ranks 15th.

Critics say that Moore was carried too much by his Head Coaches in Dallas and has always had a loaded roster to work with. While the first part is speculation, he has always had more weapons than most at his disposal. With all the speculation of Evero being retained and the Panthers not exactly being the most sought after job, I think the chances of Moore coming to Charlotte are high. I could see where Evero is retained as HC and Moore is given the coordinator role or Moore is hired as HC and Evero is retained as DC.

I'm curious... Where did this speculation that Evero will be HC next year come from? I know several on here want his as HC but are there actual rumors out there that he will be promoted??
