Since the Dallas Cowboys made the decision to part ways with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, all talk is on who will take the reigns of their offense in 2019. It is no secret that the Cowboys’ offense was inconsistent in 2018, finishing the season ranked No.22 in the league in total offense. The team needs a guy who will be more aggressive and creative with play calls on first, third, and fourth downs; someone who will get everyone involved in the scheme (WR’s, TE’s, and RB’s) to put stress on opposing defenses, along with a coordinator who will play into Dak Prescott’s strength as a run threat incorporating play-action and run-pass option plays.

The Cowboys have not made an official statement on who will resume the role but word is that Kellen Moore will be bumped to offensive coordinator and that Jon Kitna will replace Moore at quarterback coach. Kitna is currently working closely with Moore and tight end coach, Doug Nussmeier, in Orlando Florida at the 2019 Pro Bowl. The Cowboys’ coaching staff was chosen to coach the NFC in this year’s Bowl and they are trying to get Kitna acquainted with the players and staff during the festivities.

Kitna is a former NFL quarterback. He was signed by the Seattle Seahawks in 1996 and was allocated to the Barcelona Dragons of the European Football League in 1997. He led the Dragons to a World Bowl Championship and went back to play for the Seahawks from 1998-2000. He then signed with the Cincinnati Bengals and was their starting QB from 2001-2005, before moving to the Detroit Lions (2006-2008), and then to the Dallas Cowboys (2009-2011, 2013).
