He'll be the head coach in Philly or SD.

How about Monte Kiffin? He taught Lovie Smith in Tampa.

Garrett still has one brother not employed by the team. I would start there, then move the search on to the Garrett families in-laws, from there I would start looking at the Garretts families cousins, before finally exhausting my search by looking at the Garrett families 2nd cousins.

Romeo Crennell and IMO it isn't even close.

Let’s look at possible 3-4 candidates should the Cowboys stick with that scheme but employ a different look.

Arizona defensive coordinator Ray Horton was on Jason Garrett’s radar as a secondary coach two years ago – not coordinator – but he has become a head-coaching candidate in two years of running the Cardinals defense. He learned from Hall of Famer Dick LeBeau, Pittsburgh’s zone-blitz architect, and would have pieces in place to run that style here.

Romeo Crennel comes from the Bill Parcells’ coaching tree. He has Super Bowl experience. Players love playing for him and he keeps the scheme interesting. He has had two tries as a head coach and it hasn’t worked out, but his style might fit well with Garrett.

Could the Cowboys look to the college ranks for a coordinator? Garrett worked with Todd Grantham, Georgia’s defensive coordinator when Grantham coached the Cowboys defensive line under Wade Phillips. Grantham has an attacking style and has a defense that is filled with NFL-ready players. Given his SEC ties, he could provide some good insight on players in the draft. He also has NFL coordinator experience (Cleveland) and, like Garrett, worked for Nick Saban.

I'm not so sure...prior to last years draft a lot of the so called draft analysts intimated that Morris Claiborne would be an ideal fit in a cover two scheme due to his good ball skills but average speed. Mo does a lot of things well, but he's a little slower than you'd prefer a man-to-man cover corner to be.

Are you talking about Lovie? Because he's a 4-3 guy.

Sorry, I meant 3-4 guy. He's not a 3-4 guy.

Apparently Capers will be available.

Interviewed but Brian Stewart didn't want and Wade sided with BS. Was on Garrett's initial Want list. Coached with him at Miami.
