Wade Phillips - The Chargers defensive coordinator is coming off a great season and is rumored to be on Jerry Jones' radar. Phillips has a 48-39 record as a head coach.

 

Bill Cowher - Yes, Cowher said he was going to take at least a year off after he resigned from the Steelers job, but if Cowher and Jones want to make this happen, it would be far from impossible.

 

Houston Nutt - The Cowboys have reportedly been interested in hiring the Arkansas coach in some capacity and now he has to be considered a candidate for the head-coaching job.

 

Charlie Weis - If Jones is going to look at college candidates, Weis is the one with the most impressive NFL experience. The Notre Dame coach was brilliant as a coordinator for the Pats, and even though he says he's happy, the pull of a team like the Cowboys might sway him.

 

Bob Stoops - Jerry Jones turned toward Oklahoma when he hiring former Sooners coach Barry Switzer. The Cowboys have been rumored to be interested in Stoops, who won a national title at OU.

 

Norv Turner - Turner was a big part of the glory days in Big D as offensive coordinator under Jimmie Johnson in the early 1990s. Turner had little success as head coach in Washington and Oakland, but as offensive coordinator for the 49ers this season he made Frank Gore look like Emmitt Smith

 

Tony Sparano - The Cowboys offensive coordinator is rumored to be a favorite of Jerry Jones. The 45-year-old assistant is reminiscint of Sean Payton, who left Dallas to coach the Saints.

 

Pete Carroll - The USC coach hasn't nibbled at any other team's overtures, but this is Dallas, so maybe Jerry Jones has a chance to lure Carroll back to the NFL.

 

Ron Rivera - The Bears defensive coordinator has been passed over for other vacancies this offseason, but now that the Bears are in the Super Bowl, his credentials have skyrocketed.

 

Mike Singletary - The former Bears great and current 49ers assistant has reportedly been very impressive in interviews throughout the league and would be a great influence on the Cowboys' talented corps of young defensive players.

 

But Stoops is "not interested" in the Cowboys.

Think JJ would hesitate writing that $21 mil check for Charlie's buyout?

Nope. Not if he really wants him.

Lot's of pressure at that position, Nutt with the Arkansas connection makes since, some decent coordinators on the list and Turner has been very good at churning out productive runners. Not only do you have to please the "too hands on" owner, then you possibly have to deal with a major headache in "the player" and with a billion dollar stadium on the horizon you have to keep that rabid fanbase pleased. No thanks.

A new name surfaced in USAToday this morning. LSU's Les Miles. I hope Coach Miles puts an end to this talk ASAP. Recruits hang in the balance. Miles was an assistant at Dallas 98-00.

Jerry Jones wants a young coach that will be around for a few years. Too bad Petrino is already taken....

Mike Singletary will be the next Cowboys coach. That's my prediction.

 

I also read where the Titans would not allow the Cowboys to talk to Jeff Fisher under any circumstances...that sounds good to me.

He's one of the best in the game. I would've loved to see the Steelers get him.

I too heard this name yesterday on a sports talk show.

I assumed you're talking about Fisher and I agree. I love Fisher. The Titans are my favorite team. I would be very upset if they let him go...if he left on his own there is nothing to be done, but I would be angry if the powers that be in Tennessee made a move to get rid of Fisher. He's one of the top 5 coaches in the NFL, IMO. In fact, after Belichik, I'd put him up against anybody in the league.

 

The Titans are about to become a major player in the NFL again...Vince Young is emerging, Norm Chow as OC, they're finally out of salary cap hell, they have a lot of young talent from the last few drafts, and Fisher is still the head coach...I expect them to be back in the playoffs within the next couple of years. Maybe as soon as next year.

The guys on PTI were speculating that the Boys may take a run at Lovie Smith.

The amazing thing is the folks in Nashville would have paid for his flight to Dallas the past couple of years including the first third of this season.

Good point LSU, a bad season this year and they would have escorted him out of Nashville. I don't agree with that move since I think he's a top knotch coach but the NFL is a "what have you done for me lately" type of league. Luckily the Titans made a huge selection in VY and he's revived the whole organization.
