The Dallas Cowboys' search for a successor to Bill Parcells has led
them back to one of their former assistant coaches.
The Cowboys have called for and received permission to interview 49ers
offensive coordinator Norv Turner for their head coaching post,
FOXSports.com has learned. Niners coach Mike Nolan told
FOXSports.com
Wednesday night that he was very hopeful of keeping Turner, but
expected Dallas to come calling. That call came Thursday morning.
Turner has been a head coach in Washington and Oakland after a
successful stint as Jimmy Johnson's offensive coordinator in Dallas at
the start of the last decade.
Dallas has already hired an offensive coordinator in Miami Dolphins
quarterbacks coach and former Cowboys quarterback Jason Garrett. There
is some thinking that Dallas would hire Turner to groom not only
quarterback Tony Romo, but to help prepare Garrett to eventually become
the head coach in Dallas.
