The Dallas Cowboys are set to interview Texas running backs coach Tashard Choice for the same role on Brian Schottenheimer’s staff, according to CFB insider Nick Harris. A source confirmed the news to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Choice, a former Cowboys running back from 2008-2011, has built a strong reputation as a developer of elite talent. Over the past two seasons, Texas has produced four NFL running backs under his guidance: Bijan Robinson, Roschon Johnson, Jonathon Brooks, and Keilan Robinson.
Before his tenure at Texas, Choice coached at Georgia Tech, where he worked with Jahmyr Gibbs and Jordan Mason—both now making an impact in the NFL.
Bringing Choice back to Dallas would be a significant loss for Texas but a major win for the Cowboys. His track record of developing running backs speaks for itself, making him an ideal candidate to elevate the team’s backfield.
Tashard Choice continues to shape the next generation of RBs
Tashard Choice has spent the last three seasons as Texas' running backs coach, developing future NFL talent. Under his guidance, Bijan Robinson, Roschon Johnson, and Jonathon Brooks all made the leap to the pros. Jaydon Blue, a key piece of Texas' 2024 backfield, could be next in line.
His coaching journey began with the Cowboys, who drafted him in the fourth round of the 2008 NFL Draft and later brought him back as a coaching intern. That role paved the way for his assistant coaching stint at North Texas.
As a player, Choice appeared in 88 NFL games from 2008-13, including 54 with Dallas. He totaled 1,139 yards and eight touchdowns on 250 carries for the Cowboys, his most productive stretch in the league. After being waived by Dallas, he had brief stops with Washington, Buffalo, and Indianapolis, adding 440 yards on 122 attempts over his final three seasons.
Now firmly established as a rising coaching talent, Choice continues to shape the next generation of running backs.
