The Cowboys' hire of Brian Schottenheimer as head coach will have plenty of ramifications throughout the NFL. Who were the big winners and losers?

With Jones now spearheading the search for the Cowboys’ next head coach after Mike McCarthy’s departure, buzz continues to build around franchise great and Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders, who “would almost certainly accept” the top job in Dallas if offered by the 82-year-old owner, according to a new report.

After ending his tenure as head coach of Jerry Jones' Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy is ready to interview with an NFL team interested in hiring him.

The deal between Mike McCarthy and Jerry Jones fell through since the owner wanted Jason Witten as the heir apparent.

New Orleans Saints assistant coach Jahri Evans will be working with the American Team offensive line at this year’s Senior Bowl, including three LSU Tigers stars:

Speaking on SiriusXM NFL Radio, former NFL quarterback Rich Gannon spoke about McCarthy and the team's breakup, and suggested that Jones and the Dallas enviornment could have worn McCarthy out, leading to the opporuntity of finding a new opportunity.

Jerry Jones has been non-committal with Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, which may have pushed him out the door.

The Cowboys choice has apparently left Kellen Moore as surprised at being passed over as many are surprised at the elevation of Brian Schottenheimer.

The Dallas Cowboys were just one of two teams with a head coach opening after the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to terms with Pete Carroll on a three-year contract. That changed quickly after Dallas announced Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach on Firday night.

Many would call the Cowboys’ hiring of Brian Schottenheimer on Friday night as the next head coach a decision founded in comfort and safety. While that’s true from a football operations standpoint, it’s also perhaps the riskiest decision Jones could have made. That risk isn’t tied to wins and losses, but something Jones cares about even more.

After the Cowboys parted ways with former head coach Mike McCarthy, Sanders was a name that was linked to the role, but he was never formally interviewed. Schottenheimer, who along with Robert Saleh and Kellen Moore, was the only other name on the short list of candidates and he was offered an interview.
