On the Sunday when the NFL found out which teams would participate in Super Bowl LIX, the Cowboys were trying to put their coaching staff together for new coach Brian Schottehneimer. And the man they bypassed for the head coaching job was smiling on the sidelines in the City of Brotherly Love in Kellen Moore.

The Cowboys also interviewed Seattle Seahawks assistant head coach Leslie Frazier, former New York Jets coach Robert Saleh and Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who coached with the Cowboys for five seasons, spending 2019 to 2022 as their offensive coordinator.
