Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones talks with Ezekiel Elliott

The Dallas Cowboys have finally, and officially fired Jason Garrett. We all knew it was coming, but Jerry Jones took his time in firing Garrett because he looks at him like a son. That's respectable, but now the Cowboys need to find a new coach, who can get them back to the playoffs. Jerry Jones and the rest of the Cowboys front office have already interviewed Mike McCarthy and Marvin Lewis, so this search is underway, but you already know that Jones is going to have a wild card or two up his sleeve.

The Cowboys job is an attractive one with all of the talent on the roster, but they'll surely need the right coach to bring it all together. Something Garrett struggled at over the years. With the Garrett firing now official, the Complex Sports team picked out five potential head coaches that the Cowboys could hire in the coming weeks.
