IRVING, Texas (AP) _ Norv Turner got the best out of Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin when he was the Dallas Cowboys' offensive coordinator. He thinks he can do the same with Tony Romo, Terrell Owens and the rest of the club as their next head coach.

Turner interviewed for the job today, becoming the seventh -- and likely final -- candidate being considered by owner Jerry Jones.

Turner -- San Francisco's offensive coordinator -- was the offensive coordinator in Dallas from 1991 to 1993. He became close friends with Aikman, a native of Oklahoma.

Others being considered to replace him include defensive coordinators Wade Phillips of San Diego and Gary Gibbs of New Orleans, former head coach at Oklahoma.
