Cowboys coaching search is 'fluid' as new darkhorse candidates emerge

The Dallas Cowboys' search for a new head coach has had more twists and turns than the NFL regular season over the past two weeks.
Since parting ways with Mike McCarthy, Jerry Jones and company have been linked to several candidates -- some exciting, some leaving a lot to be desired.
There have been interviews with Kellen Moore, Leslie Frazier, Robert Saleh, and Brian Schottenheimer.

Jerry Jones has also reportedly spoken to Deion Sanders about the job.
Then, on Thursday, the names Pete Carroll and Rich Bissacia popped up, but Schottenheimer remained the favorite to land the job. A new report from Jane Slater of the NFL Network, however, indicates the search remains "fluid" and anything can still happen.
Here’s the deal. No unanimous decision yet in Dallas. There have been informal talks and “picking of brains” from the likes of Pete Carroll, Deion Sanders and there was even a chat with Rich Bissacia. Brian Schottenheimer seems to have the most steam but things remain fluid.…

Dallas dominates the offseason headlines for better or worse, and that's just what comes with being a part of being America's Team.
There have been reports that there are separate camps without the Cowboys leadership that have different ideas on which way the team should turn for its next coach, and it looks like the process isn't going to reach a resolution anytime soon.
Of course, with Jerry Jones, a decision could be made as soon as this is published.
