Kind words but not sad to see him go.
While I will give him some kudos for overseeing the STs when Dallas found what looks to be a really good K and PR in 2012, I can't overlook the fact that the specials teams was pretty horrid at times. I also really like Chris Jones and hope he gets his job back. I probably think more highly of him than most but his placement and ability to give the coverage units time to get downfield in exchange for a couple yards is pretty good IMO.
The KR game has been nothing special and has been supbar during his entire tenure. Highest rank they've achieved in return average is 20th. Only two returns over 50 yards and Sean Lissemore's 38 yard return is within 6 yards of being the 3rd longest in that 4 year span.
Cumulative return average rank for the last four years is 28th and Dallas is 1 of 4 teams that hasn't returned a kickoff for a TD in that span.
Punt team has had like 3 blocked punts for TDs in the last 4 years. Coverage units have given up scores.
Time to move on. Good luck Joe.
