Lincoln Riley is the top name, for good reason. Riley has garnered a lot of NFL attention with his success at Oklahoma, with Jalen Hurts playing well after having issues as a passer at Alabama. Recent reports said Jerry Jones is “very intrigued” by head coach Lincoln Riley, who could be willing to seriously consider the right NFL job.
Many believe Jerry Jones will fire Jason Garrett at the season’s end unless the Cowboys somehow make a miraculous run in the 2019 postseason. If Jason Garrett is out, then who will be in? There are plenty of names floating around the Cowboys head coach rumors, including big-time college head coaches such as Lincoln Riley, Urban Meyer & Matt Rhule. Greg Roman, Eric Bieniemy & Josh McDaniels are NFL coordinators who could have a shot at one of the biggest gigs in all of sports. Find out what Tom Downey has to say about each of these coaches on the Cowboys Report!
