JUST IN:Cowboys Will Reportedly Interview Recently Fired Coach

The Dallas Cowboys have an intriguing opening with the chance to coach NFL great linebacker Micah Parsons and one of the finest defenses in the league after former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn accepted the post as the new head coach of the Washington Commanders.

There are still several alternatives for defensive coordinator, even if sadly many of the best applicants have already been hired.

One of those options is Mike Zimmer, formerly of the Minnesota Vikings, who the Cowboys have already interviewed for the open position.

According to Jonathan Jones of NFL on CBS, another option for Dallas is former Commanders head coach Ron Rivera.

They plan to interview Rivera soon.

The Cowboys went into the offseason with everyone expecting big things to happen after an incredible collapse in the NFL playoffs, falling to the Green Bay Packers, an upstart, at A&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

First off, while it was widely believed that head coach Mike McCarthy was under pressure and would probably be fired, the team’s hierarchy decided to offer him a vote of confidence and kept him on for the upcoming campaign.

Quinn was the front-runner to become the Seattle Seahawks’ head coach following Pete Carroll’s unannounced move into a new position with the team.

As previously mentioned, Quinn just accepted a position with the Commanders, leaving Rivera with significant responsibilities in Dallas should he be recruited by the Cowboys.
