Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore looks on prior to an NFL preseason NFL football game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Saturday, Aug. 20, 2022, in Inglewood, Calif. (Ben Liebenberg via AP)

On Monday, the Chargers announced they have agreed to terms with Kellen Moore to become the team's next offensive coordinator. Moore spent the last four seasons as the Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator, where his unit ranked No. 2 in the NFL in total offense (391.0 net yards per game) and scoring (27.7 points per game) in that timespan.

Take a look at Internet reactions following the news of the latest addition to the Bolts coaching staff.

Since Moore became OC the Cowboys, they've had the 7th highest average depth of target in the NFL (8.3 AY/A).

Suffice to say...that's pretty different from Lombardi. https://t.co/XXAFeagq0L

I think it’s the best pick up of all the coordinators that was on the market IMO. https://t.co/yKtWEQFuX9

Kellen Moore was the OC for the Cowboys for 4 seasons. In the 3 seasons where Dak was healthy the Cowboys ranked inside the top 6 in points scored in each season. Twice they finished 1st in yards

Great hire for the Chargers with all their weapons at his disposal now

The way Kellen Moore used Zeke and Pollard this past season in Dallas was impressive — something the Chargers will need to complement Herbert’s arm.

I like the Kellen Moore signing for the Chargers. Still have to watch, but someone who got the absolute most out of Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush.

Experienced play-caller and the Cowboys have been good in the Red Zone and in the third quarter. An upgrade for Justin Herbert.

The @chargers are hoping the chemistry that Justin Herbert and Kellen Moore have in those Kendall Auto Group commercials transfers to the gridiron

yes, this is a real commercial pic.twitter.com/Gns8in6u1W

A quick nugget on what Kellen Moore brings to the #Chargers.

Dallas had NFL's top 2nd-half offense in 2022 at 13.8 points per game. Bolts were 28th.

Dallas also had 5th-best offense in 3rd quarter (6.1 points). Bolts were 29th.
