The Dallas Cowboys requested permission to interview Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore for their vacant head coaching position, multiple media outlets reported Thursday.

Moore, 35, was the offensive coordinator for the Cowboys (2019-22) and Los Angeles Chargers (2023) before moving to the Eagles this season.

In his first season with Philadelphia, Moore helped the Eagles to a No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs behind a rushing attack that ranked second in the league with 179.3 yards per game.

Moore is expected to meet with Dallas this weekend, ahead of the Eagles' divisional playoff game Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Rams.

A former star quarterback at Boise State, Moore played three games (two starts) with Dallas in 2015.

The Cowboys parted ways with Mike McCarthy earlier this week after five seasons and a 49-35 record, including three 12-win seasons and two NFC East titles but also a 1-3 mark in the playoffs.

Dallas limped to a 7-10 record this season. The Cowboys have not been to the Super Bowl since beating the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XXX on Jan. 28, 1996.

Former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh also is expected to interview for the job with the Cowboys, NFL Network reported Wednesday.
