The framework of the Dallas Cowboys’ head coach search seemed to take shape heading into the weekend, but a shift in the sports books could indicate an unforeseen wrinkle in this process.<\/div>\n

Amid the\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0Wildcard Weekend festivities last week, the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/a>\u00a0kept themselves front and center with the drama surrounding their decision on\u00a0Mike McCarthy<\/a>. Ultimately, the two parties have gone their separate ways and the team has begun a search for their next head coach.<\/p>\n

The names of the candidates in this search have carried on the spectacle with\u00a0Deion Sanders<\/a> gaining steam throughout the days after McCarthy’s exit. However, Kellen Moore, Robert Saleh and Leslie Frazier are the only targets thus far that have interviewed or had a tangible connection with this vacancy.<\/p>\n

Heading into the weekend of the NFL Divisional Round, Kellen Moore quietly emerged as the leader after completing a virtual interview on Friday – confirming what CowboysCountry.com has long been writing about his candidacy.<\/p>\n

Not much changed until a surprising shift Monday morning.<\/p>\n
