Yesterday saw more twists and turns in this Cowboys coaching search. Jerry supposedly talked to Pete Carroll about the job, and even if Carroll is about to be hired the Raiders, who else could the Cowboys look to talk to if Jerry is trying to slow down this search?

00:00Jory Epstein over at Yahoo has a fresh article out about the Cowboys coaching search where
00:20she's just kind of recapping where things stand and different things like that.
00:24And she's trying to figure out, all right, if it's not Schottenheimer, then who is it?
00:29I think if they don't go with Schottenheimer, which direction is it?
00:31Because I think everybody at this point... You said 98% yesterday. Are you still at 98% or are you a tick lower?
00:36A tick lower. I'll probably go, like, 95%. 95-96% that it's Schottenheimer.
00:44Have you moved off of your... What was it? 78% was your last check?
00:47Went down a little bit yesterday. About 75%.
00:50I'm still at 90%, because I just... I think it's gonna be Schottenheimer. I just don't... I can't... I gotta have a 10% factor for... I don't know what Jerry may do.
00:58And so that's part of the complicating factor.
01:00The coaches that could be in play if it's not Schottenheimer, if something completely falls through,
01:06Jory Epstein names a lot of the ones that we've already been talking about.
01:09She mentions Pete Carroll, obviously, is a big focus here.
01:13She mentions how much Jerry has talked about Jason Witten as a good future head coach and different things like that.
01:20There is an opportunity for some buzz to be kicked off this week.
01:27Depending on if, because I know he's supposed to, I don't know if that's going to go through or not,
01:32Deion Sanders is supposed to be here all this week.
01:35And he's supposed to be practicing up in North Texas, I believe, right now.
01:39Travis Hunter was at the Mavs game the other night.
01:41And you've got Shador Sanders who's gonna play in the East-West Shrine game.
01:45And Deion is supposed to be in attendance for that as well. That is the plan.
01:49I don't know if that's totally confirmed, but that is at least the plan.
01:54I think that Deion being here present, Pete Carroll placing a phone call,
01:59or them having a conversation, I think both of those factors might be enough
02:04for Jerry to just say, you know what, guys, why don't we just tap the brakes on trying to run this through.
02:10As long as this feels like it's taken, which is actually, there are other jobs that have taken longer.
02:15New Orleans is still out there. As long as this feels like it's taken...
02:18New Orleans doesn't even sound close. Not that the Raiders do that.
02:20As long as this is taken at this point, I think this...
02:23Raiders are supposedly talking about Pete Carroll.
02:25I think we could still be looking at a week from now. We don't know who that coach is.
