The have their new in , and now he has the task of filling out his staff. We now have an update on how the change up top could impact Offensive Coordinator .

The following was tweeted by the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport this morning:

Lake and Moore have familiarity through Chris Petersen, who just stepped down as the head coach for the Huskies. Prior to coaching at Washington, Petersen was at Boise Sate with Moore as his .

Lake joined the Boise St. staff the year after Kellen left for the NFL. While they've never actually been in the same place at the same time, they no doubt have become connected through Petersen.

The Cowboys put a lot of faith in Moore by promoting him to OC in 2019 after just one year as the quarterbacks coach. His offense produced big yardage but still had some situational limitations, with a major issue in how the high-priced was utilized.

But if Rapoport's news is accurate as usual, then Moore does have a future with the Cowboys. While Mike McCarthy is an offensive mind with his own style, he clearly sees good things in the young coordinator that he'd like to work with.

However, Kellen Moore appears to have some other possibilities. Will he choose to stay in Dallas, or will the Cowboys be left with another big hole to fill?
