The Dallas Cowboys fired their offensive coordinator, Scott Linehan, last week despite the team having won the NFC East title and posting their first postseason victory since 2014. Clearly, winning wasn’t enough for Linehan to keep his job.
A week later, and there seem to be some very strong indications that the Cowboys intend to find their next offensive coordinator from within, pulling from Linehan’s own staff to replace him. The leading candidates appear to be quarterbacks coach Kellen Moore and tight ends coach Doug Nussmeier.
This is the wrong move for Dallas.
