The
San Francisco 49ers are offering Norv Turner a lucrative incentive package in his contract in a bid to persuade him to remain and continue developing quarterback
Alex Smith, rather than interviewing for the
Dallas Cowboys' head-coaching position, according to sources.
Seeking a replacement for retired head coach Bill Parcells, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones interviewed
San Diego Chargers defensive coordinator Wade Phillips through the morning and into the early afternoon Friday. Phillips also discussed the team's personnel with Parcells, who has also been offering Jones his opinion on the coaching candidates.
Jones is expected to interview
New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs on Saturday and then Turner sometime after Saturday's Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., where Turner and the 49ers coaching staff are working.
