I heard Aikman say once that Cofield is not a conventional NT. Cofield in fact played NT at Northwestern. As for them not finding a decent nose tackle, the scouts are not looking at the NTs who play in 3-4 defenses nationwide like Alabama, Stanford, Maryland, Notre Dame, and other NCAA programs who run the 34 defense. When they signed Ma'ake Kemoeatu two years ago, they thought his size would be enough. But the guy couldn't play NT at all.
