Seattle Seahawks assistant head coach Leslie Frazier is interviewing with the Dallas Cowboys’ for their head coaching vacancy, according to multiple national reports. Frazier was extremely helpful to Mike Macdonald throughout his first season in charge. If he lands the Cowboys job, that would be an excellent development for a terrific person and coach, and Seattle could rest comfortably knowing he’s served his purpose to Macdonald.
Frazier brought a wealth of experience to the Seahawks in 2024. He previously served as the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills for three campaigns (2020-22), and won a Super Bowl while holding the same title with the Indianapolis Colts in 2006. Frazier was the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings from 2010 (interim) to 2013.

That experience was invaluable to a first-year coach like Macdonald. Frazier would have assisted with multiple day-to-day duties, and certainly his game-day experience in clock management and critical situations was helpful to Macdonald. Now that the first-year head coach is heading into his sophomore season, he should be considerably more comfortable and familiar with the situations that an assistant head coach is initially helpful with.
