Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Saturday that he was waiting to interview two more candidates before naming a head coach. League rules prevent him from saying who those coaches are.
He's widely expected to interview Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera and Colts assistant head coach Jim Caldwell.
"I have a leaning, but I want to try to be open-minded," Jones said.
Jones made his comments after former Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Two of Jones' head coaching candidates, Norv Turner and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, also were in attendance.
Jones said a head coaching announcement would be made "the first part of next week."
