[Dak Prescott](https://insidethestar.com/topic/dak-prescott/) was recognized with what the NFL calls their most prestigious accolade. This distinction is bestowed upon an NFL player that displays excellence on the field and also shows an impactful commitment to philanthropy off the field. The Children's Cancer Fund is a nonprofit organization based in Dallas that raises funds to benefit pediatric cancer research and treatment programs in North Texas. These are men who I look up to and have learned so much from.

Dak Prescott 'upset' about Dallas Cowboys' offensive coordinator ... (Sportsnaut)

Dak Prescott expresses frustration about the Dallas Cowboys' decision to fire Kellen Moore and hire Brian Schottenheimer as the team's offensive ...

Whether moving from Moore to McCarthy and Schottenheimer was the right call remains to be seen. Maybe the Cowboys felt like Moore was too much of a friend and not enough of a coach to his former teammate. At least, that’s what the message to move on from Moore and let McCarthy call plays next season seems to indicate. His turnover issues certainly played a major factor in Dallas’ struggles this past season, and being that he nearly doubled his career interception rate (from 2% to 3.8%) in the matter of just one season, the issues appeared to be an anomaly. The Cowboys had the NFL’s sixth-highest-scoring offense in Moore’s first season on the job, and he improved that mark to the No. It was a massive surprise, considering Moore’s ties to the Cowboys run deep, going back to when he was a backup quarterback from 2015-17, then quickly landing on the coaching staff in 2018.

He was always seen as the likeliest candidate to be promoted from within if McCarthy were to be out. If Prescott truly wants what is best for Moore, then anything that helps him become an NFL head coach should be seen as a huge step in the right direction, even if that opportunity was probably never going to see fruition in Dallas for Jerry Jones reasons. Mike McCarthy is walking on eggshells as the Dallas head coach with Dan Quinn in-house. Until he allows a head coach the amount of creative control he afforded Jimmy Johnson and briefly Bill Parcells, they will always underwhelm. Moore was let go shortly after the latest unmitigated disaster of a Dallas playoff disappointment. So what side of the coin do we land on here?
