Notable headlines surrounding America’s team.
It was a long shot to begin with.
On Saturday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport provided an update on the Cowboys’ coaching search and it doesn’t look like Coach Prime will be making his way to Dallas anytime soon.
Rapoport said the two sides do not have a formal interview scheduled yet, and he would be surprised if an interview ever happens. The NFL insider also added that Sanders is still in contract negotiations with Colorado “to potentially get a big-time extension.”

It was a good week for former Cowboys coordinators.
According to Joseph Hoyt of DLLS, Moore has already reached out to coaches about joining his potential staff. Clarence Hill Jr. of DLLS added that some of those assistants used to work for the Cowboys.
There is a lot to take away from that. For starters, every head coaching candidate obviously should have some idea of who they want to join their staff. A candidate would be laughed out of the room or Zoom meeting if they interviewed without presenting some names. It’s not necessarily “news” that Moore is working the phones, but it is noteworthy.
This all but confirms that Moore is a serious candidate for the job. The nugget...
