What about an all new position such as "Super Important Defensive Management Guy?"

I thought I saw something that it didn't apply to assistant coaches. Obviously I could be wrong as I don't know.

He asks to go, and they give permission. The same way Reggie Herring made a lateral move to the Texans to be with Wade.

Despite labeling myself a "realist", no one understands my pain or appreciates my special truth. Stupid world.

If he were offered a head coaching gig he could leave, but he cannot leave for another assistants job without being released from his current contract.


Craig
Chicago thought they had a QB in Rex Grossman, Carolina had faith in Jake Delhomme. What does this have to do with the Dallas Cowboys? It just might mean that Tony Romo isn't what we thought and we may have to move forward without him.

Even if they couldn't get Morris, Ron Meeks was also on the Chargers staff last year, who was a secondary coach under Kiffin and a former defensive coordinator for the Panthers and Colts.

He could probably fill a staff immediately and fairly easily with very experienced people. This helps with the age thing, because he's not going to have to expend a lot of calories micromanaging his staff and their units.
Meeks was also a former assistant with Jimmy in Dallas.

......now we're talking IR....I like Marinelli ALOT and he could do alot worse than landing in Big D' with Kiffin...BUT.....I would think he'd follow Lovie to wherever he lands. Time will tell I suppose: Barry and Meeks are very solid as well. I think a TRULY stellar Defensive Staff has been lacking in Dallas for a long time. Same with the offensive side of the ball frankly.

..the statement about giving permission for the current defensive staff to seek other positions makes total sense.

I'm liking this.

Wonder how Kiflin feels about any of the present defensive staffers..?

Hmm..

You gotta figure Kiffin/JJ have put in calls to these other assistants (or more likely their agents) to gauge their interest as well as their feel on whether they will/could be released. May have contacted the teams as well. If they talk to a coach that's under contract, is that tampering, like it is with a player?
There's always more to the story.

I don't mean to bust chops here, but I highly doubt Danny/Allen would let a coach go to a division team. Morris is staying in Washington, and if anything, they fire Haslett and promote Morris.
