Rapoport expects an extensive search.


"Mike Vrabel is off the market. Just based on the timing the Cowboys can't interview anyone on the Chiefs, can't interview anyone with the Lions. If they wanted to it's going to have to be a minute, they're going to have to wait. Kellen Moore, the Eagles offensive coordinator, would certainly be someone to keep an eye on. It's going to be a really interesting and intriguing coaching search for the Dallas Cowboys. I expect a more extensive one than the one they did last time which was not extensive at all."

I think it will be Bill or Gruden. They are free right now and both have won SB’s. Bill has an easy buy out. They don’t have to wait for the playoffs to be over. They will also interview Al Harris.

I keep seeing Gruden but there are some unsavory things and baggage he brings that aren't the usual things you can skate around.

Remember when Jerry interviewed Garrett for HC but realized it was an insane idea that would tank the franchise, and so he hired Garrett as OC before he even hired Wade?

I'd bet good money he tries to do the same with Witten.

No good candidate is going to want to interview with Dallas after the mess that happened with McCarthy. Realistically Cowboys are going to have to settle for the second tier of candidates which already means you are probably not upgrading at coach.

Out of the coaches that Jerry would hire, give me Gruden. He is a lot better than the Zimmers, Norvs, Riverboat Rons, etc, etc. He will at least get in some faces and maybe instill more discipline under the big tent.

Does it even matter. No coach in the history of the NFL, past, present or future, can win anything of importance with the QB they will be saddled with for the next 4 years. The coach is irrelevant at this point. Hire the guy that was cleaning Jerry's glasses and call it a day.

Not happening
Someone would have to be crazy to come here to be saddled with the Jones clown show and Dak
You will get Zimmer and like it
Kellen Moore checks a lot of Jerry's boxes.

1. He's a former cowboy player and coach. So there is a comfort and familiarity which is very important to Jerry.

2. He's cheap. Jerry could probably land him for less than MM money.

3. Dak likes him.

Everyone remember what a completely healthy Saints offense did to Dallas last season . Scored in like 7 straight possessions . Zimmer MM had zero response .

Klint Kubiak OC under fired Dennis Allen is out there and Jerry you don’t even have to ask a team involved in the playoffs permission . Pick Kubiak’s brain Jerry you might even learn something .

The world is bigger than asking Philadelphia permission to talk to a guy who’s already worked for you.
