Moore reportedly expressed being 'excited' about the opportunity to interview with a team he is very familiar with, having been both a player and an assistant coach there.

According to CBS Sports, Moore interview will take place virtually with the Cowboys on Friday just two days prior to the Eagles' NFC divisional round home game vs. the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday

Moore isn't the only former Cowboys player rumored to be in the mix for the Cowboys' head coaching job. Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and future Hall of Famer Jason Witten are also said to be in the running.
