The Cowboys decision to roll with Schotty comes with the reality that other choices exist to measure him against.

Philadelphia offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who formerly filled that job for the Cowboys, was the first to interview in the wake of McCarthy’s departure. Former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh and Seattle assistant head coach Leslie Frazier were next.

The usual suspects with ties to Jones have returned, such as Deion Sanders, Kellen Moore, and even rumors of Jason Witten have emerged. Yet, the Cowboys are still going through the interview process and there could be a few top college football coaches who get a call from a Dallas area code.
