The coaching carousel is slowing down, but Dolphins outside linebacker coach Ryan Crow remains in the mix for potential opportunities. One week after interviewing with Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Crow will speak with the Dallas Cowboys just days after announcing Brian Schottenheimer as the team’s next head coach.
Cowboys requested to interview Dolphins outside linebackers coach Ryan Crow for their DC position, per sources, and he is due to meet with Dallas soon. Crow interviewed last week for the Patriots DC spot.

Crow has been with the Dolphins for just one season, joining first-year defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver’s staff after six seasons with Vrabel and the Tennessee Titans. That said, there isn’t a similar link between Crow and Dallas’ Schottenheimer.
Crow was dealt a tough hand with Miami’s outside linebackers. Jaelan Phillips tore his ACL in Week 4, and Bradley Chubb was unavailable as he recovered from a torn ACL, meniscus, and patellar tendon in December 2023. Even then, the unit found success in the form of first-round rookie Chop Robinson, who proved he wasn’t too big for the moment with six sacks and being named to the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team.
Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and his staff overcame various obstacles last season— which helps explain why he remains a candidate for the New Orleans Saints job, and Crow is interviewing with a second team for an open defensive coordinator role.
