Yes, Jerry would offer. Would Riley take him up on it?
Would second year head coach Lincoln Riley accept the job as the leader of the Dallas Cowboys if offered by owner Jerry Jones?
As of Sports Illustrated writer Alan Breer, the Cowboy job might be the one NFL job he would consider, if not take.
Riley to the Cowboys is a real possibility as of Breer. It is the only possibility should the up-and-coming coach Riley bolt the college ranks for the pros. Jones would hire someone like Riley if he wants to make a move. He would consider Riley family and someone to take the team into the future. Make no doubt about it, Jerry Jones will offer the Sooner head man the job when and if he disposes of Jason Garrett.

Riley to the Cowboys is a real possibility as of Breer. It is the only possibility should the up-and-coming coach Riley bolt the college ranks for the pros. As of Breer:
“I think every team that has an opening will call Lincoln Riley, who really likes the job he’s got at Oklahoma. My feeling is that the Cowboys would probably be the one team, as a native Texan, that Riley would have a hard time saying no to. And if Dallas makes a change, it’s worth mentioning that the Jones family does have a relationship with Riley, who recruited Jerry’s grandson.”
It would be a sad day for Sooners everywhere. Jones is not known for loyalty to his coaches.
I think Riley is a man and he can make decisions that are best for him and his family. I do not think he would bolt to Dallas but I would not put it past him Sad days for Sooner fans? Yes, but it is not about Sooner fans It is about Lincoln and what HE thinks is best. We shall see. This is what you get when you have one of the best coaches in football and being as young as he is.
