While the Cowboys have reportedly spent much of the past two days in conversations with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, there is another name that has emerged in their head-coach search.

According to a high-ranking executive in the league, the Cowboys are interested in Packers special teams coordinator and former Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia. Neither the Cowboys nor the Packers have responded to inquiries whether Dallas has sought or received permission from Green Bay to interview Bisaccia, who’s entering the final year of his contract in Green Bay.

Josina Anderson reported Thursday that the Cowboys have had informal conversations with at least one other prospect not named Deion Sanders. There is reason to believe that individual is Bisaccia, who led the Raiders to the playoffs in 2021, going 7-5 as the Las Vegas interim head coach following the resignation of Jon Gruden.

Not retained by new head coach Josh McDaniels in 2022, Bisaccia joined Matt LaFleur’s staff in Green Bay as special teams coordinator. Promoted in 2023, he has served as assistant head coach in addition to his special teams duties the past two seasons.

Among several NFL stops over a long and distinguished career, Bisaccia served in Dallas as assistant head coach and special teams coordinator from 2013-17 before he joined the Raiders.

I've done a little bit of everything in my life because I hardly say no to an opportunity. The opportunity to write for Pro Football Post has me humbled beyond words and I'm excited to see where life takes me and Pro Football Post next! There are so many life lessons to be learned in the sport of football. Whether it be teamwork, business or relationships; I've ALWAYS appreciated the concept of the game. Battling with fellow soldiers next to you to reach a common goal. Knowing there are more things beyond the players on the field that make a team successful. To help promote a sport that creates those ideals for so many young people and football being a piece of the puzzle to help mold them into future world changers is an honor to be apart of. Oh, and Bear Down! Life Mantra: "Love God, Love People, Make Disciples, Baptize, Teach Them"
