Cowboys candidates

Excuse me, but I haven't exactly been knocked over by the candidates for the Dallas Cowboys' head coaching position thus far.

I understand Jason Garrett is an up-and-coming offensive coordinator. I also understand he'll have to deal with T.O.

Wade Phillips is familiar with the 3-4 defense. He is also familiar as a retread coach.

Gary Gibbs is familiar with the Dallas talent having been an assistant coach for four years with the Cowboys. But his OU head coaching career was less than stellar.

Norv Turner is interviewing Sunday. How many head coaching jobs can this guy fail at before people quit interviewing him? I like Norv. I think he's a heckuva offensive coordinator. And let's leave it at that.

So where are the big names?

Lovie Smith would have to wait until after next week's Super Bowl. But the Bears may lock him up before the Cowboys even have their shot.

Apparently, Bill Cowher isn't lying and will take the year off.

So here you have one of the premier jobs in all of professional sports and this is your candidates list.

Wow.
