A person with knowledge of the plan says the Dallas Cowboys intend to interview Brian Schottenheimer, their offensive coordinator, in the search to replace former coach Mike McCarthy.

Schottenheimer has never been a head coach but he's been the Cowboys' OC and has a good rapport with Dak Prescott.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer are scheduled to meet this week, with the longtime assistant viewed as a legitimate candidate to replace Mike McCarthy as head coach in Dallas.
