While the Dallas Cowboys have filled their vacancy at defensive coordinator, other teams around the NFL are still on the hunt.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Tennessee Titans and new head coach Robert Saleh have requested to interview Cowboys defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton for their DC job.

Whitecotton was an in-house candidate for the coordinator spot in Dallas before the Cowboys hired Christian Parker this week.

Whitecotton is currently at The Star in Frisco, participating as a coach for the Senior Bowl.
