"Now in the market for a defensive coordinator to replace the fired Matt Eberflus, the Cowboys struck out in their attempt to interview Falcons D-coordinator Jeff Ulbrich. The Falcons denied their request, Jordan Schultz reports. The firing of head coach Raheem Morris has left Ulbrich and Atlanta's other assistants in limbo. It's unclear if any of them will return, but Falcons owner Arthur Blank has made it clear he doesn't want to lose Ulbrich."
"While Ulbrich is not a candidate for Dallas right now, other possibilities have emerged. The Cowboys have also requested interviews with Vikings defensive pass game coordinator Daronte Jones, Broncos assistant HC/pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard and Browns safeties coach Ephraim Banda, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. The Cowboys' list of potential Eberflus replacements will extend beyond those names, Archer adds."
