The two names they&#8217;ve shown the most interest in happen to be Schottenheimer and Kellen Moore. While Schottenheimer is the favorite,\u00a0Moore seemed to be destined for the job\u00a0at one point. That&#8217;s important since Moore and Schottenheimer share something in common \u2014 they were the only two offensive coordinators under McCarthy during his time with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_k6g6gs6os\">Moore held the position from 2020 through 2022 with Schottenheimer taking over for the final two years of his stint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_m7zf1s3qm\">With an enormous amount of money invested in Dak Prescott, Jerry and Stephen Jones want to ensure the offense remains friendly for him.
