This seemed like a good idea at the time.

I’ll take Kingsbury.
He’s being widely credited with Daniel’s performance and improvement thru out the season.
You at least have to wonder if he could improve Dak.

The fact that they'd consider him for OC when they don't have an actual HC shows how backwards they are.
Yep, I'd guess this is their weird way of buttering him up to try to get him to stay on when they hire Moore as HC.

I think all those random tidbits over the weekend like "the search may last until February", "they're interested in speaking with Glenn and maybe Johnson", so on and so forth was them setting the table for potentially waiting for Moore until after the Super Bowl.

They had to float someone like Glenn out there as well since I bet they assumed it'd be the Lions and Eagles advancing to the NFCC, and yet once he became available you haven't heard a peep.

Moore was the first interview, he's the exact kind of stooge that will let Jerry run wild with hires like Witten, and he can even be sold to the fan base based on the stats his offenses put up over the years and the Eagles success this year.

It's a no brainer, the most obvious answer is usually the right one.

Imagine interviewing for this job and they say, btw, the Schot that should have ran down his mother's leg instead will be your OC.

Which is a terrible idea. So they're creating an environment where the HC's assistant is more loyal to the owner than the HC, and on top of that might be resentful that his younger, less experienced boss got the job he himself interviewed for instead of him.

Brilliant.

They've been doing it for at least 17 years, probably longer, so yea.

If I had to put money on it I'd say Moore is the HC with the same coordinators as last year, and probably mostly the same staff aside from a Nussmeier or some random ass former players like DeMarco Murray or whatever.

Status quo in the face of failure, just like Jerry likes it.

Didnt realize the Lions O line coach was available. Would have been a shame to have a chance at him.
