Momentum appeared to be growing for Brian Schottenheimer to land the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0head coaching job, but a new name has emerged that could throw a wrench into those plans.<\/p>\n

According to a report from Nick Harris of the\u00a0Fort Worth Star-Telegram,\u00a0<\/em>Jerry Jones has shown interest and\u00a0“has spoken with” a Super Bowl-winning coach.<\/p>\n

The coach in question? Former\u00a0Seattle Seahawks\u00a0head coach Pete Carroll, who is currently serving as an advisor to the Seahawks.<\/p>\n

Carroll was previously mentioned as\u00a0the Cowboys’ “best option” moving forward.<\/p>\n

“Pete Carroll is their best option. Do I think they get him? No. I think it’s Kellen Moore or Jason Witten or someone Jerry Jones knows well,” NFL insider Charean Williams wrote at the beginning of the coaching search.<\/p>\n

“Is anybody Jerry would hire going to excite the fan base? No.”<\/p>\n

Carroll brings a stable presence to the sideline and has the personality to deal with Jerry Jones — which is very important for anyone who would be willing to listen to any offers from the team.<\/p>\n

Throughout his career as a NFL head, Carroll holds a 181-131-1 record.<\/p>\n

With the recent buzz linking Dallas to its most recent offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, Cowboys fans can only hope Jerry can line up an official interview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
