The Dallas Cowboys are, in fact, leaving no stone unturned in their search for a new defensive coordinator. That's because Brian Schottenheimer is behind the wheel, not Jerry Jones.
It was just two years ago that Dallas’ DC search included retreads like Rex Ryan and Ron Rivera. Now, they’re targeting young, innovative assistants. That's where the NFL is moving, and Brian Schottenheimer is smart to want a piece of it.
Dubious developments are inevitable in any coaching search, however, and the Cowboys’ first true curveball arrived quickly, with NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reporting that Dallas has requested an interview with Giants outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen.
