"I'd expect the Cowboys to move fast in looking at defensive coordinator candidates with Matt Eberflus officially out. And looking at Brian Schottenheimer's background, it'd be easy to look at guys who've worked with Dan Quinn as fits-Schottenheimer and Quinn forged a strong relationship on Mike McCarthy's staff, to the point where Quinn tried to bring Schottenheimer to Washington with him."
"Some of the usual suspects among beat writers covering the team have mentioned Jeff Ulbrich, Raheem Morris, and Brian Flores. Nonchalantly, Breer throws in Matt Patricia as a potential candidate for the job. Then, in Wednesday's mailbag article, Breer doubled down on the Patricia front. From Mike (@CoachMikeB23): What names have you heard are in the mix for the Cowboys' defensive coordinator job? Who do you think is most likely to get that job? What is the candidate profile the Cowboys are looking for?"
The Dallas Cowboys are searching for their fourth defensive coordinator in four seasons after parting ways with Matt Eberflus. Potential candidates include Brian Schottenheimer, Jeff Ulbrich, Raheem Morris, Brian Flores, and Matt Patricia. Schottenheimer's background includes work with the Patriots-style defenses and a close relationship with Dan Quinn, who unsuccessfully tried to bring him to Washington. Ulbrich and Morris are available and have ties to Quinn. Patricia has surfaced as a possible candidate despite mixed popularity. The team is expected to move quickly in evaluating candidates with an emphasis on prior ties to Quinn and experience with Patriots-influenced defensive schemes.
