The Dallas Cowboys have entered Leslie Frazier for their open head coach position, the team reported Monday. Frazier is currently the assistant head coach of the Seattle Seahawks and was previously the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings from 2011-13.
Should the Cowboys decide to hire Frazier, it would be the second time he has been a head coach. Frazier last commanded such a position with the Minnesota Vikings when he became the interim head coach in 2010, then was retained as the permanent coach from 2011-2013.
