DMN blog- end is near

The end is near

Calvin "Lucky" Watkins, who is teaming up with Todd Archer to track the coaching search, tells me a new Cowboys coach could be hired in the next 48 hours.

At this point, it looks like Wade Phillips and Norv Turner are neck in neck with Jason Garrett and Gary Gibbs as long shots.

My gut tells me Turner will be the guy. He has two major advantages over Phillips -- he worked here during the Jerry Era glory days and will have Jerry's ear last.

Making the hire tomorrow would maximize the national buzz, because the Super Bowl hype really won't be heated up yet.
