Former Michigan tight end Kevin Koger is set to interview with the Dallas Cowboys for their vacant offensive coordinator opening, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Koger was the Atlanta Falcons' tight end coach this past season. Prior to Atlanta, Koger was the Chargers' tight end coach for three seasons.

Following his playing days, Koger worked his way up the ranks. He started at Saline, Michigan as a tight ends coach before going back to Michigan as a graduate assistant from 2013-2014. Koger then moved to the University of Tennessee in 2015 before going to Eastern Kentucky for three seasons as the wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator. Following the 2018 season, Koger moved up to the NFL. He began with the Green Bay Packers in 2019 as an offensive quality coach before going to the Chargers in 2021 as the tight ends coach.

The Toledo (OH) native played for the Wolverines from 2008-2011 and went undrafted in the '12 NFL Draft. Koger's best season came in 2011 where he caught 23 receptions for 244 yards and four touchdowns for Michigan.
