The volatility that prompted DraftKings to stop the betting has ended. Wagers are once again being taken for the next coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
The current favorite, at -150, is Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. He interviewed virtually for the position on Friday.
Next on the list is Colorado coach Deion Sanders, at +200. Earlier this week, he was the favorite.
Current Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is third on the list, at +250.
The full list options has 60 names, including Bill Belichick at 12-1.
Eagles fans might not be thrilled by the fact that Moore took time out from preparing for a playoff game to interview.
