Mortensen: Source: Cowboys focused on proven NFL coach to replace Jason Garrett

[Risen Star]

The Dallas Cowboys are intensely focused on head-coach candidates who have extensive NFL experience in the role and a track record of success, which is why former Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy and former Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis were interviewed this weekend, according to a source familiar with the search for Jason Garrett's replacement.

That profile would eliminate NFL coordinators with little or no head-coaching experience and any of the much-speculated college coaches, such as Oklahoma's Lincoln Riley, Baylor's Matt Rhule and Florida's Dan Mullen.

if this is the case give me Jim Harbaugh

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Is he saying this solely based on what’s happened already? I don’t think Jerry’s close to done; we know Meyer has shown up through various sources.

 

[ItzKelz]

With a ready to win team already put together this only makes sense

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Not sure if this is a 100% great thing. I still want a chance at Meyer or Riley. McCarthy or an OC/DC from another team seems pretty good though.

I wouldn't mind Jim but he could not handle the FO in San Fran.....I doubt he could handle JJ

 

[Stash]

Agreed. But from everything I've heard, neither Harbaugh brother is a fan of the Jerry Jones method of management.

Last night jubilation in JG finally gone, sickness this morning hearing that Marvin Lewis is a real candidate

 

[DogFace]

I’m still hoping he’ll go with proven college coach Meyer.

 

[Western]

If Urban Meyer ain't in play, get Bill Cowher.

But who can't win with our talent? We could conceivably interview high school coaches.

"There are 500 coaches who can win a Super Bowl with our team."

The interview process sounds like it's going to be extensive, and could take a while.

would have to think this is rooney rule in play. nothing against lewis but he has done less than garrett when it comes right down to it.

 

[Stash]

Certainly nobody who has options.
