Cowboys Coaching Carousel: Jones and Sanders Discuss the Next Head Coach

Coaching Carousel

After a disappointing 6-11 season, the Dallas Cowboys have parted ways with head coach Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys have now had three head coaches in the past 10 years, and they are hoping to find a long-term solution this time around.
Jerry Jones, the Cowboys' owner, general manager, and president, has already begun the search for a new coach. He has talked to a number of candidates, including Dan Quinn, Eric Bieniemy, and Kellen Moore. It is still early in the process, but Jones has said that he wants to find a candidate with a proven track record of success within the next two weeks.

Jerry Jones' Perspective

Jones has been criticized for his hands-on approach to coaching. He has been known to meddle in the coaching decisions in the past, and some have wondered if he will allow his next coach to have full autonomy.
However, Jones has said that he is looking for a coach who can "lead this team to a Super Bowl." He has also said that he is willing to give his new coach the authority to make the decisions he needs to make.

Stephen Jones' Perspective

Stephen Jones, the Cowboys' executive vice president and director of player personnel, has been involved in the coaching search process. He has said that the Cowboys are looking for a coach who is "a good leader, a good communicator, and a good teacher."
Stephen Jones has also emphasized the importance of finding a coach who is "a good fit" for the Cowboys' organization. He said the Cowboys are looking for a coach with similar philosophies and values
