Cowboys head coach tracker: Latest rumors, news and updates on candidates for Dallas
Champ Bailey on former teammate Deion Sanders potentially becoming the HC in Dallas
Champ Bailey discusses the possibility of Deion Sanders becoming the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
Sports Seriously
The stars shine bright in Dallas.
More often than not, it’s also how the Dallas Cowboys conduct business — the franchise searches far and wide for the biggest names in the NFL. America’s Team would have it no other way … especially in a coaching search.
After their parting of ways with Mike McCarthy, it comes as no surprise that everyone is trying to keep up with what Jerry Jones’ team will do. There’s the potential big splash (see: Colorado head coach Deion Sanders). There’s the homegrown talent, like Kellen Moore. There’s the outside-the-box pick, like Jason Witten. There’s the more conventional route, like Robert Saleh and Leslie Frazier.
The list will almost certainly grow over time as the team looks to steal headlines and, eventually, win games with their next hire. Anything goes deep in the heart of Texas, which makes for an exciting coaching search to follow.
Here’s the latest on the Cowboys’ search for a new head coach.
Cowboys head coach search rumors, news, updates
This section will be updated as interviews occur and relevant news about potential candidates becomes available.
Kellen Moore a top candidate for Cowboys’ HC
On Thursday, the Cowboys officially requested to interview Moore, the current Eagles’ offensive coordinator. He formerly held the same title in Dallas before the sides mutually agreed to part ways following the 2022 season. In the four seasons that Moore coached the offense, it finished in the top-10 three times.
Moore, undrafted out of Boise State, played for the Cowboys from 2015 to 2017 before transitioning into the team’s quarterbacks coach in 2018. He was then given the OC responsibilities from 2019 to 2022 and was a holdover from Jason Garrett’s staff to McCarthy’s.
Rapoport said Moore is considered a “top candidate” for the job and that his familiarity with the organization makes this potential partnership one to keep an eye on.
Deion Sanders would ‘almost certainly’ accept Cowboys’ job if offered
Sanders was initially believed to be a long shot, but the noise is getting too loud to ignore. Jones is reportedly enamored with the idea, according to Werder, meaning the rumors will continue to swirl until the search is over. NFL Network’s Jane Slater reported Thursday that Sanders approached Colorado’s athletic director, Rick George, on Tuesday about additional money for NIL and his staff, but was met with resistance. Sanders, who played for the Cowboys, previously said he had no interest in coaching in the NFL. That seems to have changed in recent weeks.
Robert Saleh to interview this week
Saleh, the former Jets coach, is set to interview for the Cowboys’ job this week. The former 49ers’ defensive coordinator seems likely to land a job for 2025, whether that is as a coordinator or head coach.
Cowboys request interview with Seahawks’ Leslie Frazier
Frazier is also slated to interview for the Dallas gig. He comes with plenty of experience, serving previously as the head coach in Minnesota and more recently as the Buffalo defensive coordinator before spending last season in Seattle.
Jason Witten was seen as potential heir apparent to Mike McCarthy
Witten was reportedly floated as a potential heir apparent in negotiations with McCarthy, who opted to pursue other opportunities, according to Slater. Jones thinks very highly of Witten, but it’s unclear whether he will be a head coaching candidate. The former Cowboys’ tight end doesn’t have any NFL or college coaching experience, but has been the head coach at Liberty Christian in Argyle, Texas, since 2021.
Cowboys coaching candidates
Here is a look at who the Cowboys have interest in or requested to interview thus far:
- Deion Sanders, Colorado head coach
- Robert Saleh, ex-Jets coach
- Leslie Frazier, Seahawks assistant head coach
- Kellen Moore, Eagles offensive coordinator

After deadly crash, loved one questions suspect’s actions at scene
New arrest documents show an alleged drunk driver tried to flee the scene after a crash that killed two men in Dallas early Sunday morning.
Dallas police arrested 22-year-old Isaac Chacon and charged him with two counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of collision involving death. Investigators say he collided with another vehicle at Military Parkway and North Jim Miller Road just before 2 a.m.
One man died at the scene. Another died after being taken to a nearby hospital.
“I don’t think somebody should have lost their life for the price of an Uber. Just don’t drink and drive,” Monique Dawson said.
Dawson’s boyfriend, Orinthius Deante Brown, was one of the victims. She said they had been together for more than a decade.
A day after his death, Dawson reflected on their last conversation and one she wished they had.
“If you love somebody, talk to them because you never know when it’s going to be the last time. When I woke up Sunday morning, I had a couple of missed calls from him, and I just brushed it off like, I’ll just talk to him later. We’re gonna spend all day together. I don’t know if I’d be on the phone with him all day. I’m busy cooking and tired. I’m gonna talk to him next time, and it’s never going to be a next time. It’s never gonna be a next time, that’s it,” she said.
Dawson said Brown was a father of three who often helped others.
According to an arrest affidavit, Chacon tried to flee immediately after the crash, but witnesses detained him until police arrived.
“What if instead of trying to run away, he ran toward the people he hit and tried to help?” Dawson said.
Dawson said anything less than life behind bars would not provide justice for the victims’ loved ones.
“That was my person, and now he’s gone,” she said.

What we learned in FC Dallas’ win vs DC United
FC Dallas didn’t just win on Saturday night in the nation’s capital, they controlled the match from start to finish.
In a 4-0 road victory over D.C. United, Dallas delivered one of their most complete performances of the season. They paired clinical finishing with a much-needed defensive response after giving up six goals in the previous two games. This match was a clear reset for the club. They were organized in the back, dangerous in transition, and absolutely ruthless in front of the goal.
Let’s dive into some of the key aspects of this shutout win.
Road performance for the ages
Let’s get to the fun stat from this one, curiosity of the club’s media/PR team. This victory was the second-largest road win in club history. The club’s only larger road win came on Aug. 16, 2014, when Dallas won 5-0 at the San Jose Earthquakes.
Just as we saw two weeks ago against Houston, Dallas came out with strong energy, good momentum and a classy touch from Logan Farrington before his fourth goal of the season.
At the end of things, it could have easily been a five or six goal outing. After five games of just Petar Musa and Farrington finding the back of the net for Dallas, we can now add some other names to the mix on the season. For me, that was a big sign of progression out of this group. Yes, Musa and Farrington continued to score, but so did some other players.
Seeing how this group closed out this game is also a big point of emphasis. No slip ups. No foot off the gas pedal. Just a full push from start to finish.
“The five subs really came on and changed the game for the better, which is what we asked for them to do. And it’s a beautiful performance. Some great spells of football that I just think we’re growing and I love where we’re heading, but I’m proud of the complete team, defending set pieces, attacking set pieces, transitions, everything was honest with us tonight, and they deserve this four goal win.” – Manager Eric Quill
Take note of the momentum bar there in the middle of that graphic, aside from three-ish spots, FC Dallas dominated this game from start to finish.
