IMO. I think Kellen Moore will be the next Cowboys head coach. The Cowboys are grooming him, aka Garrett. If Payton was to come to Dallas it wouldn't be for the long term. Because Kellen not Payton would be calling the plays.

I think Jerry learned from the Garrett experience. Garrett was tied to the hip with Romo. Unlike, Garrett, Jerry will make sure that Moore will be successful. Jerry knows that defense and a strong offensive line wins championships. The Cowboys are already revamping the defense. Except the same with the offensive line.

Unlike, Garrett, Moore will not be tied to any quarterback. Dak's contract ends after 2024 season. I think Dak will leave to play for another team. I can see Jerry taking his lumps with Moore and finally investing in a 1st round quarterback with a ready made defense and offensive line in place with a rookie quarterback aka Mac Jones.

With the Cowboys future looking forward. Just my 2 cents worth.
