The Dallas Cowboys will officially begin their coaching search by interviewing former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh, NFL Network reported Wednesday.
Saleh compiled a 20-36 record in three-plus seasons with the Jets. He was fired after a 2-3 start this season.
The Cowboys parted ways with Mike McCarthy earlier this week after five seasons and a 49-35 record, including three 12-win seasons and two NFC East titles but also a 1-3 mark in the playoffs.
Saleh, 45, is reportedly on the coaching radar screen for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Las Vegas Raiders, and could also be in the mix for multiple defensive coordinator openings.
Saleh was the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers from 2017-20 before taking over the Jets.
The Cowboys finished 7-10 in 2024. They have not been to the Super Bowl since beating the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XXX on Jan. 28, 1996.
