The day before the Dallas Cowboys announce Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach, former candidate Kellen Moore orchestrated seven rushing touchdowns and 55 points for the Philadelphia Eagles in an NFC Championship Game victory.

How does Brian Schottenheimer compare to Kellen Moore as a head coaching candidate? Asked around + broke it down on today's episode of Inside Coverage... Carroll appears to be making a push for it.

Kellen Moore was believed to "covet" the Dallas Cowboys' heading coaching job that eventually went to Brian Schottenheimer.

The Cowboys choice has apparently left Kellen Moore as surprised at being passed over as many are surprised at the elevation of Brian Schottenheimer.

Another Saints assistant coach could be on their way out of town, as running backs coach Derrick Foster interviewed with the Dallas Cowboys:

The Cowboys will hire an offensive coordinator, but like Mike McCarthy before him, Brian Schottenheimer will call the offense.

The Cowboys have interviewed Saints running backs coach Derrick Foster for the same position on Brian Schottenheimer's staff, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.

Brian Schottenheimer appears to be furthest along the road to a job offer, but Kellen Moore is more widely regarded around the league as a play-caller who is adapting to league trends.

Owner Jerry Jones explains why Schottenheimer was the choice to replace Mike McCarthy after disappointing 7-10 season.

Garafolo’s report came on the heels of a report from his NFL Network colleague Tom Pelissero that former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy won’t be pursuing the Saints job any longer (incidentally, Moore was in the running for the job to replace McCarthy in Dallas, but the Cowboys promoted offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer ).

Why did yesterday's press conference become yet another detour through the owner's life? Because there's no understanding the Schottenheimer hire without understanding the man who made it.
