Just me, I'm not trusting Joe Whitt with this D..........he's never been a DC and even his record even as passing coordinator is average at best.
Hard no on Joe.......way better options avail.

Cowboys hiring of Joe Whitt Jr. comes with major concerns

The Dallas Cowboys have hired a new secondary coach and passing game coordinator
One of the areas of major concern for the
Dallas Cowboys following last season was the performance of their defense. This unit’s historically poor play was the reason the Cowboys parted ways with defensive coordinator Mike Nolan last Friday.
The Cowboys’ scoring defense finished 2020 ranked 28th, allowing an average of 29.6 points per game. Their run defense was ranked 31st, allowing a whopping 158.8 yards on the ground a game. The saving grace may have been their passing defense, which finished the regular season ranked 11th, allowing an average of only 227.6 passing yards per game to opposing offenses
Still, turnovers were a major concern for the defense until the last month of the season. In their first 12 games, this unit forced a total of 11 takeaways. In their final four contests alone, they racked up 12 turnovers.
With the firing of Nolan and defensive line coach, Jim Tomsula, many wondered if there would be more change to the coaching staff soon. The Cowboys responded by hiring former Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn to become the team’s new defensive coordinator on Monday.
On Wednesday morning it was reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that the Cowboys are
hiring Joe Whitt Jr. as the team’s secondary/defensive pass game coordinator according to an unnamed source.
