Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been making moves lately. The Cowboys parted ways with former head coach Mike McCarthy and replaced him with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. This move had a mixed response in the fan base,
Terrence Parsons Jr., the brother of Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons, teed off on the team after Jerry Jones failed to interview Ben Johnson for the head coaching gig.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is getting called out for his handling of Mike McCarthy and the team's head coaching search.
The Dallas Cowboys are still searching for a new head coach, and they are currently looking at former Seahawks HC Peter Caroll.
Though Jones and Sanders spoke briefly about the job, and Sanders was at one point the betting favorite, Sanders never had an official interview. Jones confirmed on Monday that, though he and his son said they “think the world of” Sanders, he was never a serious candidate for the job.
McCarthy leaves looking like the bigger man. Partially because of the malaise that began to coat the Cowboys' fan base and partially because Jerry seems to again be operating on his gut as he moves forward.
In what was an interesting and rather emotional press conference, owner/general manager Jerry Jones and the new head coach hit on a number of topics over the course of about an hour. One of which was the now vacant offensive coordinator role, and how the team sees the offense running moving forward.
After the Cowboys parted ways with former head coach Mike McCarthy, Sanders was a name that was linked to the role, but he was never formally interviewed. Schottenheimer, who along with Robert Saleh and Kellen Moore, was the only other name on the short list of candidates and he was offered an interview.
The Dallas Cowboys' chaotic head coach hunt has seemingly concluded, as the team is reportedly close to promoting offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to replace Mike McCarthy.
With Mike McCarthy out, Jerry Jones is on the hunt for a new head coach for the Dallas Cowboys, and a new candidate has emerged: Aaron Rodgers' former coach.
Schottenheimer's skill set, energy and understanding of the Cowboys' current situation helped Jerry Jones make his decision.
