Jason Garrett is on the hot seat right now for the Dallas Cowboys, despite what Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones say publically. After all, Garrett is entering his 10th year with the Cowboys with no extension. The Cowboys got off to a hot start to the season, but now Garrett’s hot seat is hotter than ever after 3 straight losses, including one to the winless Jets. Cowboys Report Host Tom Downey has the top 10 candidates to replace Garrett if Jerry Jones and Cowboys decide to fire Jason Garrett.
As Garrett critics grow by the week, names like Lincoln Riley, Tony Romo, Sean Payton, Jim Harbaugh, Ryan Day, Kris Richard and Urban Meyer continue to circulate through the Cowboys coaching rumor mill. Riley has garnered a lot of NFL attention with his success at Oklahoma, who 6-0 this season with Jalen Hurts looking to become the third straight Heisman-winning QB out of OU. Recent reports said Jerry Jones is “very intrigued” by head coach Lincoln Riley, who is willing to seriously consider the right NFL job.

And what other Cowboys head coaching targets are there?
