What does Jerry Jones 'prioritize' in new Dallas Cowboys head coach?

The Dallas Cowboys head coaching search started with a bang after the team was linked to Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. Unfortunately for Cowboys Nation, the Coach Prime buzz has died down and the search has turned to a pair of uninspiring candidates.

It seems after a round of interviews that the leaders in the clubhouse to land the Cowboys gig are former quarterback and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who is leading the Philadelphia Eagles offense into the NFC Championship Game, and Brian Schottenheimer, who has been the team’s offensive coordinator since Moore’s departure.

Bringing back a familiar face isn’t going to fire up the fanbase, but it will fill the vacancy and give Jerry Jones exactly what he wants on the sideline.

According to NFL insider Ed Werder, Jerry Jones likely “prioritizes” one thing and it is what Moore and Schottenheimer bring to the table.

“I think he prioritizes offensive continuity to benefit Dak, whom he’s made the highest-paid player in the NFL,” Werder wrote on X.

“He wants someone he’s familiar with and trusts and someone willing to maintain a lower profile than the owner and also accepts the different approach that front office uses.”
