Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has been a hot name of interest in coaching searches. The young play-caller has interviewed for multiple openings this cycle, most notably the Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins.

Moore appears to be among the finalists for the Dolphins' vacancy. The New York Giants swooped in and hired fellow Miami finalist Brian Daboll, putting the Dolphins in a bit of a bind. The Cowboys' offensive coordinator is set to get another interview this week.

Despite the interviews, Jerry Jones expects Kellen Moore to be back in Dallas for the upcoming season. Jones said during a recent appearance on 105.3 The Fan that he "believes" Moore will be back.

That created some mixed feelings among Cowboys fans. As good as the Cowboys offense was in statistics, the offense looked stale and anything but a high-powered machine down the stretch of the season. Moore has received a ton of criticism, as a result.

With that said, there are multiple reasons why Kellen Moore returning as offensive coordinator could be a good thing for the Dallas Cowboys.

ANOTHER SEASON WITH DAK

Perhaps the most important element as to why Kellen Moore returning as offensive coordinator would be a positive is Dak Prescott. Prescott is the unquestioned franchise quarterback for America's Team. His continued development is among the biggest priorities for the Cowboys.

Changing the play-caller or offensive philosophy could hurt Prescott's development. A new offensive scheme with different terminology would have the potential to disrupt some offensive flow. Making sure your quarterback is as comfortable as possible is paramount.

Prescott is very familiar with Kellen Moore. He has had a couple of strong seasons with Moore calling the offense. He knows what to expect and has the terminology down as well as he possibly can. Switching that up would have some risk to it.

There is definitely room for improvement for Kellen Moore as play-caller. The offense needs more creativity, and the Cowboys ranked among the worst in the league in pre-snap motion. Dallas stalled offensively and looked very bland after Prescott injured his calf against the New England Patriots.

Moore has shown flashes of being a creative offensive mind. There is a reason why he has interviewed for multiple head coaching vacancies. It is there, the Cowboys just need to bring it out more. As long as that happens, retaining Moore in Dallas would be a positive.

OFFENSIVE STAFF CONTINUITY

Along similar lines, staff continuity is important in the NFL. The more comfortable the players are with play calls and scheme, the better the team will likely perform. It is not rocket science.

With Dan Quinn returning to call the defense, the Cowboys are already on track to bring back a large portion of the staff. Quinn, like Moore, interviewed for multiple head coaching openings. In the end, Quinn opted to return the likes of Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs with the Cowboys.

Dallas has the talent to breakthrough and make a deep postseason run, albeit that has not happened in what seems like forever. Retaining the staff that led to offensive success is not exactly a bad thing.

Changes need to be made in terms of tweaking the scheme and play-calling, but Moore has shown to be a bright mind.

 MCCARTHY GETS ANOTHER SHOT

Putting the above two reasons together brings us to the third reason.

It is no secret that Mike McCarthy will be under an even bigger microscope in the 2022 season. The disappointing end to the 2021 season, combined with Sean Payton potentially being available, means McCarthy will be under a ton of pressure to win.

That means that McCarthy should be put out all of the stops to be successful next season. He showed to be aggressive in certain moments last season, but McCarthy went a bit conservative down the stretch. He struggled with time management and in making key coaching decisions when the Cowboys needed it the most.

Bringing back his offensive and defensive coordinators means McCarthy won't have much of an excuse next season. The staff continuity is there and the players won't be forced to learn a brand new scheme, which could hamper development and progress.

An offseason where Dak Prescott can get back to full health, along with staff continuity, means McCarthy will have every reason to take the Dallas Cowboys to the next level. After all, that is why Jerry Jones and co. hired him as head coach — to win in the playoffs.
