Jerry Jones has no plans to talk with Dan Reeves about the Cowboys' head-coaching vacancy, even though Reeves has called Dallas, wants the job and has the best credentials of any candidate available.

Add Mike Singletary to the list of candidates to become coach of the Dallas Cowboys. The Hall of Fame linebacker will interview Tuesday with team owner Jerry Jones. He'll become the eighth candidate considered to replace Bill Parcells.

Norv Turner got the best out of Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin when he was the Dallas Cowboys' offensive coordinator. He thinks he can do the same with Tony Romo, Terrell Owens and the rest of the club as their next head coach. Turner interviewed for the job Sunday, becoming the seventh -- and likely final -- candidate being considered by owner Jerry Jones.

New Orleans defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs interviewed Saturday with the Dallas Cowboys. Gibbs, a former Cowboys assistant, was the third outside candidate to visit Valley Ranch for an interview since Bill Parcells retired as head coach Monday. San Francisco offensive coordinator Norv Turner was scheduled to interview Sunday. Turner was the Cowboys' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 1991-93, when they won consecutive Super Bowls, and had a 58-82-1 record as head coach in Washington (1994-00) and Oakland (2004-05).

The San Francisco 49ers are offering Norv Turner a lucrative incentive package in his contract in a bid to persuade him to remain and continue developing quarterback Alex Smith, rather than interviewing for the Dallas Cowboys' head-coaching position, according to sources. Seeking a replacement for retired head coach Bill Parcells, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones interviewed San Diego Chargers defensive coordinator Wade Phillips through the morning and into the early afternoon Friday. Phillips also discussed the team's personnel with Parcells, who has also been offering Jones his opinion on the coaching candidates.

San Diego defensive coordinator Wade Phillips interviewed Friday with the Cowboys about replacing retired head coach Bill Parcells. Phillips, the former head coach at Denver and Buffalo who also had interim stints in New Orleans and Atlanta, said he had a "very encompassing talk" with Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones. "I'm going to go on my record," Phillips said. "I've won as a head coach, been in the playoffs three out of the five years I've been a head coach. ... I have a lot of experience; I've been 30 years in the league, 25 as either a head coach or coordinator." Jones also plans to talk to San Francisco offensive coordinator Norv Turner, a former head coach for Washington and Oakland, and New Orleans defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs. Both are former Dallas assistants.

Bill Parcells broke his silence on Thursday afternoon with a 30-minute conversation with Mike and the Mad Dog, a popular New York-based sports talk radio program. "I tried to make it work as best I could," said Parcells, who did not have a retirement news conference. "It wasn't without a few little things here and there. It was nothing I felt was insurmountable or we never had to draw a line in the sand.... Now, it wasn't perfect. And it wasn't as problematic as it was portrayed." Parcells is very good friends with co-host Mike Francesa.

The Cowboys have hired Dolphins quarterbacks coach Jason Garrett as their offensive coordinator, and he remains a candidate for Dallas' vacant head coaching position, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports. A source told ESPN's Ed Werder on Wednesday night that team owner Jerry Jones considers Garrett, a former backup to quarterback Troy Aikman, to be one of the most promising offensive coaches in the league and was so determined to bring him back to the Cowboys organization that he would have been added to Bill Parcells' staff had Parcells decided to coach the final year of his contract.

It is being reported by ESPN that Miami Dolphins quarterback coach Jason Garrett will be hired at least to be the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys next season. The Cowboys had a deadline of Thursday to decide on Garrett or let him return to the Miami Dolphins. Garrett could still be in the running for the head coaching position, along with Norv Turner and Wade Phillips.

Terrell Owens thinks Bill Parcells retirement is for the best. ?I am just hoping his retirement brings promise to what the team has to offer,? Owens said. ?This past year was a big letdown. On paper we were as good as anybody we played against every week. The end result didn?t show that. Our play was not indicative of what we could have done. What we should have done. Hopefully, the owner will hire a coach to take the team to the next level.?
