Kellen Moore will remain with the Dallas Cowboys, as the club announced a multiyear extension with the offensive coordinator.
Moore’s deal with Dallas was set to expire after this season, and his alma mater, Boise State, pursued him to be its head coach.
Moore said in a statement released by the Cowboys that he was “very excited” to stay with the team.
“I love Boise State. I will always root for them, and I hope one day to be a part of the program again,” Moore said. “We are building something special here in Dallas. I am thankful to the Jones family and Mike McCarthy for providing me with the opportunity to coach these special players. I am excited for us to put it all together and finish the job.”
Moore, 32, has been the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator since 2019. The Boise State job came open last month when Bryan Harsin left to take over as head coach at Auburn, replacing the fired Gus Malzahn.
In last weekend’s home victory against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cowboys racked up 513 total yards of offense, eclipsing 500 yards for the fourth time this season, tying for the most in team history with the 1978, 1966 and 2019 offenses.
Dallas also had three pass plays of more than 50 yards against the Eagles, the most by a team in the NFL this season. In the past three games, the Cowboys’ offense has contributed 94 of Dallas’ 108 points.
