Jonathan Gannon

FA Head Coach

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cowboys scheduled an interview with former Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

Finally a big name in this search. Gannon was more quirky than good as Eagles defensive coordinator, something he carried over with him in the desert as the unit spit out a 21st-place finish in defensive DVOA in 2025 after a ton of offseason investments in players like Josh Sweat and Will Johnson. Gannon would at least have more time to focus on calling a defense as a coordinator again.
Aaron Whitecotton

DAL Coaching Staff

Cowboys will interview Cowboys DL coach Aaron Whitecotton for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

Whitecotton, who came over from the Jets staff under Robert Saleh, was reportedly instrumental in the Quinnen Williams trade. It is not known how Whitecotton would call a room as he has no NFL defensive coordinator experience, however, he’s not Matt Eberflus, so he has that going for him.
Ephraim Banda

CLE Coaching Staff

Cowboys completed their interview with Browns S coach Ephraim Banda for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

The Cowboys completed two defensive coordinator interviews today, having met with Vikings defensive pass game coordinator and DB coach Daronte Jones earlier on. Tomorrow, they are set to speak with Broncos assistant head coach and defensive passing game coordinator Jim Leonhard.
Daronte Jones

MIN Coaching Staff

Cowboys completed an interview with Vikings defensive pass game coordinator and DB coach Daronte Jones for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

The process for moving past fired DC Matt Eberflus is in its opening stages. Jones, 47, hasn’t called plays for a defense since his brief stint as LSU defensive coordinator in 2021. He does have plenty of high-level defensive experience and specializes in defensive back play, which makes him a good thought for a Cowboys back seven that figures to have a lot of turnover this offseason.
Lunda Wells

DAL Coaching Staff

Commanders completed their interview with Cowboys TE coach Lunda Wells for their offensive coordinator vacancy.

That was fast. ESPN’s Todd Archer reported on the Commanders’ request to interview Wells just a few hours ago. Wells ostensibly has a relationship with Commanders head coach Dan Quinn from their time together with the Cowboys in 2021-2023, and Wells is said to have been a “big part of game planning” since the Cowboys hired him in 2020.
Ephraim Banda

CLE Coaching Staff

Cowboys requested to interview Browns S coach Ephraim Banda for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

Banda has coached the Browns’ safety group since the team brought him aboard in 2023. The unit stands out in a league that now frequently utilizes two-high safety looks. The Browns’ defense allowed the league’s ninth-fewest yards per pass play (6.61) despite Banda’s unit logging an NFL-high 773 defensive snaps with just one safety lined up deep this season.
Daronte Jones

MIN Coaching Staff

Cowboys requested to interview Vikings defensive pass game coordinator and DB coach Daronte Jones for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

Jones was initially hired by the Vikings to coach only the defensive backs in 2022. They added defensive pass game coordinator to his title in 2023. ESPN’s Kevin Seifert believes Jones “would be on a very short list to replace Brian Flores as the Vikings’ defensive coordinator, if Flores departs.”
Jim Leonhard

DEN Coaching Staff #30

Cowboys requested to interview Broncos assistant head coach and defensive passing game coordinator Jim Leonhard for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

Shortly before issuing this report, ESPN’s Todd Archer let it be known that the Falcons had denied the Cowboys’ request to interview DC Jeff Ulbirch. The Cowboys are smartly casting a very wide net to fill their vacant defensive coordinator role. Leonhard served as the Broncos’ DB coach and defensive passing game coordinator in 2024 before swapping out the DB coach role for an assistant head coach promotion in 2025.
Jeff Ulbrich

ATL Defensive Coordinator

Falcons denied the Cowboys’ request to interview DC Jeff Ulbrich for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

Per ESPN’s Todd Archer, “a potential interview can be revisited later” if the Falcons hire a head coach “who has a different coordinator in mind.” One assumes that Falcons team owner Arthur Blank is pleased with Ulbrich’s performance last season. The defense cannot be described as an elite unit, but Ulbrich appears to be a respected figure in the organization.
Lunda Wells

DAL Coaching Staff

Commanders requested to interview Cowboys TE coach Lunda Wells for their offensive coordinator vacancy.

Per ESPN’s Todd Archer, “Wells has been [a] big part of game planning” since the Cowboys hired him away from the Giants in 2020. He coached the same position there from 2018-2019 after serving as the assistant offensive line coach from 2013-2017. Wells “was on staff with Commanders head coach Dan Quinn for three years, when Quinn served as the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator from 2021-2023.
