The Cowboys interviewed former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore (once thought a lock for the job just a few years ago), former Jets head coach Robert Saleh, Seahawks assistant head coach Leslie Frazier and conversations were also reportedly had with Deion Sanders and Pete Carroll as well.

Jones broke into the league by firing an NFL coaching icon in Tom Landry and replacing him with a college coach. Jimmy Johnson was a successful college coach, but that rarely translated into being a successful NFL coach in the late ’80s and early ’90s.

NFL experts say the Dallas Cowboys may no longer be a "prime" coaching destination, but Jerry Jones and Deion Sanders could have a different say.
