Cowboys Scheduling Second Interviews With Defensive Coordinator Candidates
"Vikings pass game coordinator Daronte Jones will be in Dallas to meet team brass today, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. Former Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has scheduled a Jan. 20 in-person visit with the Cowboys, per Anderson. While Eagles pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach Christian Parker hasn't booked an in-person sitdown yet, that's expected to take place, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN relays."
"Broncos assistant head coach and pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard was part of the Cowboys' first round of interviews, but it's unclear if they'll meet with him in person. He's ineligible for now, Archer notes. The Broncos would have to lose in the divisional round or AFC title game first. Otherwise, a Leonhard meeting would have to wait until the bye week before the Super Bowl."
"Gannon's also in the running to join Quinn's staff as the Commanders' next defensive coordinator, while the Titans will interview him for their head coaching position on Sunday. If the 43-year-old ends up in Dallas or Washington, it would give him a second chance as an NFL defensive coordinator and a return to the NFC East. He led the Eagles' defense from 2021-22, and the unit's elite performance helped the team win the NFC in the second of those seasons."
The Cowboys have set up second interviews with top contenders to replace fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. Vikings pass game coordinator Daronte Jones will meet team brass in Dallas today. Former Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has an in-person visit scheduled for Jan. 20. Eagles pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach Christian Parker is expected to schedule an in-person meeting. Broncos assistant head coach Jim Leonhard interviewed in the first round but is currently ineligible to meet in person unless the Broncos lose in the divisional round or AFC title game. The Cowboys have recently favored hiring ex-NFL head coaches for the defensive coordinator role and seek more stability.
