The Cowboys likely will not know until next week at the earliest if they will have to further restock their coaching staff with two assistants still in the running for head coaching jobs.

Cowboys assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has been one of seven candidates interviewed for the Denver head coaching job, and apparently, despite reports he supposedly turned down overtures from Detroit to interview, he's still a viable candidate there and reportedly has met with the team.

And while wide receivers coach Ray Sherman has not been one of the many assistants to already have been interviewed by the St. Louis Rams, there are still indications he could be brought in for an interview at some point next week.

So the Cowboys must wait, but likely are putting together a contingency list in case they lose either of their assistants on offense or possibly both. The Cowboys have already made one change to the staff, releasing special teams coach Bruce Read and replacing him with long-time NFL special teams coach Joe DeCamillis, the Jacksonville special teams coach the past two seasons who signed his contract with the Cowboys on Friday. DeCamillis is considered in NFL circles to be one of the top special teams coaches in the league and apparently has a reputation of getting the attention of his players.

Garrett remains one of seven candidates interviewed by the Broncos, who are expected to bring back two to three candidates for a second round of talks as early as Monday. But there is a chance owner Pat Bowlen and his interview team will make a serious pitch to speak with University of Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops, who has been busy for the past month preparing for Thursday's BCS National Championship game, won by Florida, 24-14.

The Broncos, besides interviewing Garrett for the job, have held talks with Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo; New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels; Minnesota defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier; Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Raheem Morris; Broncos offensive coordinator Rick Dennison; and mostly recently Todd Bowles, the former Cowboys secondary coach who joined Tony Sparano and Bill Parcells this season in Miami as the assistant head coach/secondary coach.

Then there is Detroit, where the Lions also have been canvassing the field to replace the fired Rod Marinelli and have shown interest in several of the same coaches as Denver, especially Frazier, along with Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and Redskins secondary coach Jerry Gray. Also, the name of Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh is being thrown around. Stay turned.

Doesn't seem as though St. Louis is interested in Garrett, but that's where Sherman comes in, the Rams reportedly having contacted the Cowboys for permission to speak with him. That interview could come next week.

So far the Rams have spoken with Green Bay assistant Winston Moss and Jim Haslett, their interim head coach who took over for the fired Scott Linehan and managed to win two games, the second beating the Cowboys, 34-14. They also were scheduled to speak with former NFL head coach Jim Fassel on Friday, along with McDaniel.

Other names being considered in St. Louis are Frazier, Bowles and Rex Ryan.
