Cowboys Cast Wide Net in Defensive Coordinator Search

Dallas signals patience, moving from initial interviews to in-person meetings.

Overview

  • Executive vice president Stephen Jones said nine coaches have interviewed or are set to interview, with the team open to expanding the pool before trimming it.
  • The Cowboys are prioritizing a coordinator who is a strong teacher and communicator capable of simplifying concepts so players can play fast.
  • Dallas has begun narrowing candidates for on-site interviews after an initial round of virtual meetings.
  • The team has requested or interviewed a slate that includes DeMarcus Covington, Christian Parker, Charlie Bullen, Jonathan Gannon, Zach Orr, Ephraim Banda, Daronte Jones, Jim Leonhard and Aaron Whitecotton.
  • There is no hiring timeline as the club evaluates how candidates would use the current roster and two first-round picks following a season that led to Matt Eberflus’s firing and a franchise-worst 511 points allowed.
