00:00Cap, the biggest brand in sports, particularly the Dallas Cowboys, on the hunt for a head

00:04coaching job themselves.

00:06We're taking a look at Deion Sanders picking up phone calls from Jerry Jones, but Kellen

00:10Moore, who was there for a few years in Dallas and had some success before he went out to

00:14Los Angeles and now with the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:16Give us an update here on the Dallas Cowboys coaching search.

00:18Yeah, Donny, here's the situation with Kellen Moore.

00:21So understand something, Jerry Jones did not fire Kellen Moore, Mike McCarthy did.

00:26Mike McCarthy was told if he wanted to be the head coach.

00:29Kellen Moore was going to call the plays and he was going to be offensive coordinator.

00:33Mike would have input, but Kellen would be calling the plays and they were not going

00:36to run a West Coast offense.

00:37Mike, I don't want to say to save his job, but he had seen enough over a number of years

00:44and he decided to part ways with Kellen and he wanted to run his West Coast offense.

00:47And Kellen, as you mentioned, went to the Chargers last year.

00:50The Chargers were beat up at wide receiver and it just didn't look like they wanted to

00:55look last year.

00:56So we've gone to Philly, best running game in football by a large margin, Baltimore's

01:01number two, but the Eagles, in terms of best running back in football this year, it's Taequann

01:05Barkley, but they know him.

01:07Kellen and Jerry Jones have a good relationship, I'm told they've known each other for a number

01:10of years.

01:11It would be a minor upset if he's not the head coach.

01:13Yes, I know about Deion and Jerry and Deion go back 30 years, as you know, or nearly 30

01:18years because he played for them in the mid nineties.

01:20But the bottom line is when you look at this situation, it's Kellen Moore, it's Dak Prescott

01:25who work very well together and that's the bottom line.

01:29And one thing I would say, though, this would impact Jalen Hurts and Jalen talked about

01:32this in the spring.

01:33Jalen, going back to high school, has had almost eight or nine play callers.

01:37That's a lot.

01:38That's a lot of change for a quarterback.

01:39That's something to consider with Philadelphia going forward.

01:42Cap, one coordinator that said he's going to wait until after the playoffs is Cliff

01:47Kingsbury.

01:48And if they get the victory tonight over Detroit, he's going to be a hot name as well.

01:53I mean, are the Bears in entertaining Cliff Kingsbury in any capacity because of the relationship

02:00with Caleb Williams?

02:01Yeah, coached him one year at USC.

02:04He is on their list.

02:05But Ben Johnson, again, is number one.

02:07It's just it's to be honest with you, he's when you talk to NFL people, Joe.

02:14Everybody goes Ben Johnson's the guy.

02:15In fact, he was the guy last year.

02:16But there was some question whether he really wanted to coach.

02:19But moving forward to here.

02:20Yes, there's no question that Cliff Kingsbury is the guy to look at.

02:23If this thing goes on a lot longer, by the way, you cannot if you're coaching, you can't

02:27agree to a deal.

02:28But your coaching agent can talk to the club.

02:31They could talk about what the deal would look like in terms of years and money.

02:35And that Ben Johnson deal, guys, by the way, if and when it gets done, whether it's this

02:39year or next year, could wind up surpassing Bill Belichick, who's the highest paid coach

02:43in NFL history.
