SI truth and rumors (cowboys)

Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera's first choice is to be an NFL head coach. But he wouldn't reject a raise. Rivera's name popped up as a candidate for defensive coordinator on a possible Norv Turner staff. One NFL source said Rivera would not rule out Dallas, but Rivera hopes to remain a candidate in the Cowboys' head coaching search.

Frank Gore tried calling Norv Turner last week, but got his voicemail. That's understandable since Turner is a man in demand these days as the possible new head coach of the Cowboys. But Gore wants Turner to stick with the 49ers -- and called to tell him so.
