The Cowboys have two interviews set as Jones and his team get to work. Robert Saleh, the New York Jets who was fired midway through the season, has emerged as a candidate elsewhere and will interview for the job per NFL Network. Dallas will also be speaking with Seattle Seahawks assistant head coach Leslie Frazier, per ESPN's Todd Archer.

There are assistants who have been head coaches before, like Kliff Kingsbury and Brian Flores. There are former Cowboys assistants like Kellen Moore and Wes Phillips, and Al Harris could emerge as a dark horse candidate, and that’s before the young gun coordinators like Ben Johnson, Bobby Slowik, Joe Brady and others are even mentioned.
