Possible scenarios?
1. Jason Garrett does well-enough in a turnaround effort during the second half to win the job outright. I estimate that chances are low that will happen since the defense is the side that has floundered recently and he doesn't have much influence on that side of things. With a new coach coming in, it's likely that he'll want his own guy as offensive coordinator.
2. Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh comes aboard. As a Cal fan, this scenario would be ideal since I don't think he'd make a good pro coach (although I certainly could be proven wrong). It's ideal because it weakens both Stanford and Dallas. Yippee! I believe the college scene is the perfect one for Harbaugh. At the NFL level, he was a journeyman QB. He hasn't commanded men at the NFL level enough to garner their respect.
3. Jon Gruden comes out of the booth to coach the Boys. While he did win a championship and has fire, I'm not convinced that Gruden is a winner through and through. He'd probably be an up-and-down coach lasting perhaps 4-5 seasons.
4. Bill Cowher is lured out of retirement and can make his demands. This would be the best option for the Cowboys and the worst for the Skins. Cowher is the only really proven commodity. People know he'd rebuild the Cowboys from the ground up. Question is whether he wants to take on that challenge.
Every other candidate not on this list will probably end up with results either like Harbaugh or Gruden.
