Clarence E. Hill Jr., of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera has not been contacted by anyone from the Dallas Cowboys organization regarding an interview to become the team's next head coach, but when asked about the opportunity, Rivera was highly complimentary toward the franchise. "The owner (Jerry Jones) is committed to winning," Rivera said. "He has a good attitude toward winning. He is going to do what it takes to win. I think they have good personnel. Also, it's a football community. It's a town that loves its football, like Chicago. There are a lot of opportunities in Dallas." Rivera is said to be a head coaching candidate the Cowboys would like to interview after the Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 4.
