Cowboy Roundup: Jerry Jones failure shown by NFC title game, Best HC candidates

Happy Monday, Dallas Cowboys Nation. We made it through the weekend without any news on the head coaching front, but it is believed the head coaching market will heat up following the weekend loss of the Detroit Lions.

The Lions' loss frees up offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn for head coaching gigs across the league.

Both men are expected to land jobs this cycle, but whether the Cowboys land an interview with either candidate remains to be seen.

In not so pleasant news, the NFC Championship Game will be an NFC East showdown.

While we wait to see what goes down this week and just how quickly teams move to make a hire or line up interviews, let's check out some of the headlines making the rounds on the web.
