The Dallas Cowboys interviewed Seattle assistant Leslie Frazier on Monday, marking the third external candidate in their search to replace former coach Mike McCarthy.

Frazier, who has a defensive coaching background, previously served as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings and has been an assistant with Tampa Bay and Buffalo. McCarthy and the Cowboys parted ways last week after contract discussions. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has also had informal talks with Colorado coach Deion Sanders, a former player for the team. The Cowboys have not advanced past the divisional round since their last Super Bowl win in 1995.
