Cowboys will interview Vikings defensive pass game coordinator and DB coach Daronte Jones on Saturday for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

16 January 2026

It’s an in-person interview and Jones’ second with the team, cementing him as either a finalist or semi-finalist depending on how long the Cowboys want to drag this out. Jones has an interesting ascension case to be Vikings defensive coordinator if Brian Flores leaves, so he seems to have good odds of coming out of this cycle with a coordinator job.
