If you want him, you’re going to have to do more than just interview him, you’re going to have to offer a full court press. If the Cowboys have another year where they underachieve, Jerry Jones is going to say ‘Whatever you want, you’re the Quarterback Whisperer, you’re going to turn Dak into a superstar, and you’re going to be coaching the marquee team in the NFL.’” (Full Audio at Bottom of Page)
