Overview
- Jones says Dallas has interviewed or scheduled nine candidates, expects to cast a wider net, and will now bring select finalists to The Star for in-person meetings.
- Confirmed candidates include Jim Leonhard, Daronte Jones, Ephraim Banda, Jonathan Gannon, Zach Orr, Christian Parker, Charlie Bullen, DeMarcus Covington, and Aaron Whitecotton.
- Reporting from team-focused outlets indicates Jim Leonhard is viewed as a leading target, with a virtual interview completed and any next step dependent on Denver’s playoff schedule.
- The club prioritizes a coordinator who can teach, communicate, simplify assignments, and develop young players, aligning the hire with existing personnel and two first-round picks.
- Defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton will call the defense at the East-West Shrine Bowl in Frisco, offering a practical look at his play-calling as part of the evaluation.
