After the 31-24 loss to the Chicago Bears (7-6) on Thursday night, Dallas Cowboys (6-7) head coach Jason Garrett’s time in Jerry World might be coming to an end.
However, who would replace him as head coach?
Maybe the man who lead Ohio State to the first College Football Playoff National Championship in 2015?
NFL Media’s Jane Slater reported on Thursday night that the Cowboys have “very real interest” in Meyer.
The wheels are in motion barring a Super Bowl run from America’s Team.
Slater adds Stephen Jones, Executive Vice President for the Dallas Cowboys spoke with Meyer recently. Oklahoma Sooners head coach Lincoln Riley remains a strong candidate and that Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott is also a possibility.
The key concern is Meyer’s health and an NFL schedule might be his best bet.
Not having to recruit year-round might be better on his health and allow him to focus more on coaching, which could make the NFL ideal for him.
It’s worked for 68-year old former USC head coach Pete Carroll who’s won a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks.
Meyer has already said he would “absolutely” take the job.
