After yet another loss for the Dallas Cowboys — Jason Garrett somehow remains the head coach of the franchise. That doesn’t mean the organization isn’t already flirting with his potential replacement.
Sources told Jane Slater of NFL Network, the Cowboys have a “very real interest” in Urban Meyer, and team executive vice president Stephen Jones recently spoke with the former Ohio State head coach.
Slater also stated that Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley is still a strong candidate as well to get the job.
Dallas lost on Thursday to the Chicago Bears, their 3rd-consecutive lost in a season where they started 3-0 and had high expectations.
