Kellen Moore- Meet the Candidate- Part 6 of 12

Kellen Moore, OC-LA Chargers

Kellen Moore, the man who almost got the job last season after just getting fired by the Cowboys.

Last season, Kellen Moore was the runner up for the job in Charlotte. Kellen Moore was one of the final interviews and he managed to make a strong case as to why he should be the top candidate. The Panthers even decided keep Kellen Moore in Charlotte overnight following his interview. The group discussed different possibilities, scenarios, and ideas with Moore, and made their decision the following day-preferring Frank Reich’s staff building connections instead.

So, who is Kellen Moore? The 35-year-old is a native of Washington state started 4 seasons at QB for Boise State. Moore would finish his college career with a 50-3 record, throwing for over 14,000 yards, 70% completion rate, and 142 TDs to 28 INTs. Moore won multiple awards while at Boise State including 2x WAC Offensive Player of the Year, MWC Player of the Year, and 2X QB of the Year. Despite this he would still go undrafted in 2012 and sign with the Detroit Lions.

He spent 3 years with Detroit never seeing the field. He spent an additional 3 years in Dallas only playing in 3 games and starting in 2- losing both. Over 3 games, Moore threw 779 yards, 4 TDs, and 6 INTs. In 2018 he retired from playing and joined the Cowboy’s staff as QB Coach. The following year, Jason Garrett would promote him to Offensive Coordinator. He was retained by new coach Mike McCarthy in 2020 and stayed in Dallas as OC until McCarthy and Moore mutually agreed to part ways at the end of the 2022 season. During his time in Dallas, his units would rank 1st, 14th, 1st. and 11th. Currently, his unit in LA ranks 15th.

Critics say that Moore was carried too much by his Head Coaches in Dallas and has always had a loaded roster to work with. While the first part is speculation, he has always had more weapons than most at his disposal. With all the speculation of Evero being retained and the Panthers not exactly being the most sought after job, I think the chances of Moore coming to Charlotte are high. I could see where Evero is retained as HC and Moore is given the coordinator role or Moore is hired as HC and Evero is retained as DC.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
