On Monday night, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter named two former Cowboys players who could be in the hunt for the job in Big D. They fit a route owner Jerry Jones has gone before with former head coach Jason Garrett.

The Dallas Cowboys completed an interview with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for the team’s vacant head coaching position, the team announced Tuesday evening. Schottenheimer, 51, is the first known internal candidate to interview for the head coaching job.

Interestingly enough, Moore would not be the first Latter-day Saint head coach for the Cowboys. Dave Campo coached in Dallas from 2000-02, after converting to the faith during his stint at Weber State in the 1980s. Moore’s Eagles are currently in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs and will host Puka Nacua’s Los Angeles Rams Sunday afternoon.

The Dallas Cowboys made two major moves this week that sent shockwaves through the NFL. The first one was parting ways with head coach Mike McCarthy. The second was speaking with Colorado's Deion Sanders about the vacant position.

The Dallas Cowboys are perhaps the NFL's most unpredictable team when it comes to this offseason's coaching carousel. Will they pry Deion Sanders from college football? Will they turn to an old friend in Kellen Moore?

Schottenheimer has never been a head coach but he's been the Cowboys' OC and has a good rapport with Dak Prescott.
