It’s fair for fans to be skeptical about the Dallas Cowboys’ next defensive coordinator hire, but with plenty of outside candidates already in the mix, there’s little reason to worry that Jerry Jones will promote from within.
The Cowboys have defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton in the mix, which isn’t surprising given that he was on the field while Matt Eberflus moved to the press box for the final three games. He’s the type of in-house option fans would expect Jones to lean toward, but the encouraging part is that he’s far from the only candidate being considered.
