REPORT: Dallas Cowboys Have Spoken To Urban Meyer About Head Coaching Job

Following the Dallas Cowboys 31-24 loss on Thursday Night Football to the Chicago Bears, much of the talk was surrounding Jason Garrett and his job status.

While Jerry Jones said the team is not making a coaching change, that doesn’t mean the team isn’t already looking ahead at the inevitable coaching search.

According to Jane Slater of NFL Network, not only have the Cowboys began the search for their next head coach, they’ve already had a conversation with a candidate:

Jerry Jones says Jason Garrett will remain the coach but I can confirm a very real interest in Urban Meyer. In fact, I'm told Stephen Jones spoke with him recently. Lincoln Riley remains a strong candidate & file this name as a possibility Clemson OC Tony Elliott per sources.

Meyer, who is a 3-time National Champion winning coach, stepped down from the Buckeyes at the end of last season because of health reasons. 

The 54-year-old posted a 77-9 overall record.
