Texas Longhorns running backs coach Tashard Choice is reportedly drawing interest from the Dallas Cowboys and is expected to interview for a position on their coaching staff. The former NFL running back, who has been a crucial part of Texas’ offensive success, could be making a return to the professional ranks.
Choice, who has built a reputation as one of the best recruiters and developers of running back talent in college football, has played a key role in shaping Texas’ backfield, including standout performances from players like Bijan Robinson and Jonathon Brooks. His ability to develop elite-level running backs has made him a highly sought-after coach at both the collegiate and professional levels.
The Cowboys, coming off a disappointing end to their playoff run, are in the midst of potential staff changes, and adding a coach with Choice’s background could be an intriguing move. Given his ties to the NFL—where he played for the Cowboys from 2008 to 2011—this potential reunion could be a natural fit.
While no official confirmation has been made by Texas or the Cowboys, reports indicate that Choice is at least exploring his options. If he were to make the jump, it would leave a significant void in Texas’ coaching staff, especially in the recruiting department.
Longhorns fans will undoubtedly be watching closely to see if Choice remains in Austin or takes the opportunity to return to the NFL. Either way, his coaching trajectory continues to rise, and a move to Dallas would only further cement his reputation as one of the most respected running back coaches in football.
