The Dallas Cowboys have requested permission to interview Philadelphia offensive coordinator Kellen Moore in their search to replace Mike McCarthy, a person with knowledge of the team's plans said Thursday.
The Cowboys also are planning to interview two former NFL head coaches in Robert Saleh and Leslie Frazier, the person told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team isn't commenting publicly on plans for interviews.
Moore has a long history with the Cowboys, including four seasons as Dak Prescott's play-caller. Three of those were after McCarthy was hired in 2020. The Cowboys and McCarthy parted ways this week after five seasons.
The Cowboys can meet virtually with Moore before the Eagles' season is over, with limits on the amount of time. The NFC East champions play the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round at home Sunday.
''(I) have plenty of relationships in that place,'' Moore said Tuesday. ''I've had so much fun here. It's been a really fun process, and we're in a really special situation right now, getting the chance to play this Sunday, having a chance to make a run at this thing, and that's really all you worry about. Everything else is what it is, and we'll see where it takes you.''
Saleh was fired by the New York Jets in October, five games into his fourth season after a successful stint as the defensive coordinator in San Francisco. The 49ers have interviewed him for a return to that position.
Frazier just finished his first season as the assistant head coach on Mike Macdonald's staff in Seattle. Frazier spent three full seasons as coach of the Minnesota Vikings after taking over with six games remaining in the 2010 season.
