4:07pm: While the list of known candidates for Dallas’ OC position has grown, Adams remains the name to watch closely. The Cowboys are “zeroing in on” Adams as their top choice, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. As coordinator dominoes continue to fall, it will be interesting to see if Dallas moves quickly in the wake of today’s in-person interview.
10:41am: A favorite has emerged regarding the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator interview. After only two known virtual interviews for the position took place, an in-person meeting has been arranged. 
Dallas will speak again with Klayton Adams for the OC gig, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. This summit will take place today, he adds. If all goes well for the Cardinals’ offensive line coach, he may very well take over as the Cowboys’ new offensive coordinator.
Adams’ first interview took place earlier this week, and at that time he was labeled as a strong contender for the position. It thus comes as no surprise a follow-up has quickly been arranged. Former OC Brian Schottenheimer was promoted to head coach for the first time in his career, and he will call plays on offense in 2025. With Matt Eberflus back in the organization (this time as DC) and Nick Sorensen in place as special teams coordinator, most of the major moves for his first staff have already been made. That will be especially true once a new offensive coordinator is brought in.
Adams immediately transitioned to coaching after his playing career ended in 2004. He worked at his alma mater (Boise State) for two seasons before seeing time at four other college programs. That included six years at Colorado, the final one of which saw him handle co-offensive coordinator duties. The 41-year-old’s first NFL tenure came with the Colts (2019-22), where he worked with the team’s offensive linemen and tight ends.
For the past two years, Adams has worked with the Cardinals. Arizona has been strong in the running game over that time, something which has helped boost his stock regarding a potential coordinator gig. No other team has been connected to Adams during the 2025 hiring cycle, but a mutual interested clearly exists with the Cowboys. Dallas has also met with Falcons tight ends coach Kevin Koger in addition to being linked to Ken Dorsey. Other candidates could still emerge, but for now Adams appears to be in pole position.
