The Dallas Cowboys have commenced the process of assembling a new coaching staff following their head coaching search, which culminated in the appointment of Brian Schottenheimer. The team is set to interview Chris Banjo for the special teams coordinator position. Banjo brings a wealth of experience, having spent the last two years as an assistant special teams coach with the Denver Broncos under Sean Payton. With ties to the Dallas area from his collegiate career at SMU, Banjo aims to make a significant impact in his potential new role.

Additionally, Banjo's interview with the Cowboys marks a crucial step, especially after John Fassel's departure from the team after five seasons in the same role. Fassel is expected to take a similar position with the Tennessee Titans, prompting the Cowboys to explore fresh talent. The NFL's Rooney Rule mandates that franchises interview multiple minority candidates for coordinator roles, and Banjo's candidacy is a direct reflection of that initiative.
