Sources: Cowboys talk to Stanford DC

IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys have talked with Stanford's Vic Fangio about joining Jason Garrett's staff as defensive coordinator, according to multiple sources.

Fangio, who has predominantly used the 3-4 scheme in his career, finished his first season at Stanford, helping the Cardinal to an Orange Bowl victory, and it was widely assumed he was going to follow Jim Harbaugh to San Francisco as the 49ers' defensive coordinator.

Fangio served as the defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers (1995-98), Indianapolis Colts (1999-2001) and Houston Texans (2002-05) and was an assistant to the head coach in Baltimore from 2006-08 before working with the Ravens' linebackers in 2009. The Ravens had a top-three defense in three of his four years in Baltimore.

While he does not have a direct tie to Garrett, Fangio worked under Dom Capers, who was going to be Garrett's defensive coordinator had he taken either the Baltimore or Atlanta job in 2008.

Paul Pasqualoni finished the season as the Cowboys defensive coordinator after Wade Phillips was fired and remains a candidate for the full-time job.

He's an experienced 3-4 coach, and he has worked with some good teams and good coaches.

He would be an excellent hire.

Can't help it dude, we haven't had a decent DC in here for sometime.

I'm for a lot of the guys mentioned, but anyone of these guys with 3-4 experience will help us.

Here's my wish list, but not all are available.

1) Dom Capers
2) Eric Mangini
3) Winston Moss
4) Vic Fangio
5) Mike Nolan
6) John Fox
7) Rob Ryan

In that order.

I've thought for almost two months Fangio would be a potential target. Fangio was Capers' DC in both Carolina and Houston and has extensive experience in the 3-4 zone blitz style. Since we know Garrett wanted Capers before, it seems logical that if he cant get him he'd get the guy Capers recommends.

Fangio's also done a great job at Stanford

Quinton Moss? I assume you mean Winston Moss. LOL! It'd help to know there name if you want them as a DC, especially as your #3 choice. And why no Bowles? You said you want a guy with 3-4 experience, Bowles has more experience in the 3-4 coaching-wise than Moss. Bowles was under Parcellss and Nolan. But he didn't make your list.
