One name appears to have risen to the top of the Cowboys’ list in the search for the 10th head coach in franchise history. Brian Schottenheimer has become the first candidate to interview with owner Jerry Jones over the course of two days.

A person with knowledge of the plan says the Dallas Cowboys intend to interview Brian Schottenheimer, their offensive coordinator, in the search to replace former coach Mike McCarthy.

The first name that drew widespread attention after McCarthy's departure was Deion Sanders. But three others are getting interviews.
