Dallas Cowboys develop trust in Bill Callahan

[jobberone]

IRVING -- In only a year at Valley Ranch, Bill Callahan has made a fast climb.Hired on Jan. 12, 2012, as the offensive line coach and offensive coordinator, he is on the verge of becoming head coach Jason Garrett's right-hand man and taking over his offense.

Callahan has gained so much trust in the organization, Garrett and owner Jerry Jones openly talk about him taking over as the play-caller on game day, the job Garrett has had for the previous six years.

Even if they won't come out and explicitly announce the transfer of that duty, the Cowboys' trust in Callahan is clear.

That's nice....


Then next year after the O line does not improve because Callahan has nothing but JAGs to work with watch him get fired by the same bunch that supposedly TRUSTED him.

Nothing says trust like finishing dead last in rushing

I'll admit that JG's play calling wasn't perfect this past year but don't ya think just maybe his hands were tied a bit because of not having a good OL.

I don't mind if Garrett isn't the play caller but will changing the play caller make us better at this point? I don't think so.

What about the coaching do you think helped us to finish dead last in rushing?

guess I'm missing something that makes this newsworthy but shouldn't Callahan already be Garrett's right hand man as he has been OC the whole time

edit: (even if it was in name only)

JG's play calling was and has never been the problem, it has always been the OL, and execution of the plays, or non execution of the plays called.
The only problem I had with JG is that sometimes he gets so caught up in waiting for the Defense to finally line up before he got the play called which would leave Romo and the offense a few seconds to get the ball snapped

I think Callahan is a good choice, proven.
