And interviews have already taken place with a few candidates, former Jets head coach,\u00a0Robert Saleh, to former Buffalo Bills DC,\u00a0Leslie Frazier.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the one name that has floated around more than any other is that of former offensive coordinator \u2013 now performing the same role for NFC East rivals, the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0\u2013 Kellen Moore.<\/p>\n<div

over double the odds of the next most likely candidate, Colorado Buffaloes head coach, Deion \u201cPrimetime\u201d Sanders.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being the prohibitive favorite for the best part of the past week, a very curious development occurred that puts Moore\u2019s odds at landing the coveted coaching prize in jeopardy, as his odds have plummeted early on Monday afternoon EST.<\/p>\n<div

lack of success as head coaches \u2013 Frazier went 21-32 with the Vikings from 2010 \u2013 2013, whilst Saleh\u2019s Jets went 20-36 until his dismissal this past season \u2013 one would imagine that the Cowboys will opt for a \u201chotter\u201d option to lead the nation\u2019s biggest sporting brand.<\/p>\n<p>One desirable option could have been Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator of the\u00a0Detroit Lions. Yet, he was announced as the newest head coach of the\u00a0Chicago Bears\u00a0earlier on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, one would have to purely speculate on viable alternatives \u2013 most of those being coordinators that have impressed in their current roles on playoff-caliber teams.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_4_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-4 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_4\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Athletic\u00a0released a list of possible candidates for Dallas beyond Kellen Moore, which include Commanders OC, and former\u00a0Arizona Cardinals\u00a0head coach, Kliff Kingsbury; Bills OC, Joe Brady, who has re-invigorated\u00a0Josh Allen\u00a0and Buffalo\u2019s offense, despite losing #1 receiver, Stefon Diggs; and Lions defensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn.<\/p>\n<p>It could well be that Moore is simply the Cowboys\u2019 guy, hence the ultra-short list of interviews \u2013 especially given\u00a0Sports Illustrated\u2019s repor<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/cowboys\/news\/dallas-cowboys-kellen-moore-smartest-guy-room-coach-interview-request-panthers-dan-quinn\">t<\/a>\u00a0that sources around the team consider the 36 year old to be the \u201csmartest guy in any room\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Or Jerry Jones and co. may have a last minute play on their hands.
