Signed by Cowboys Nussmeier to be named QB Coach

[Mr_437]

I think 105.3 alluded to there might have been problems between Kellen and Kitna. So maybe with Kellen coming back they had to move on from Kitna. Only logical explanation to me.

This would explain a lot.

So this opens the TE coach opening for........ Witten

Yuck!!!
If Kitna n KM had problems...Heck Witten was dog cussing KM on the sidelines, at least twice.

Edit: Nuss didn't have an impressive track record when I looked him up last year, but gotta accept what MM got cooking atm.

Im guessing McCarthy wanted the guy with more experience possibly.



He was, yes. But he is/was a QB coach. He is not a TE coach. So I’m sure McCarthy liked something about him to move him back to QB Coach. Look at his past, he’s a solid QB coach

He coached QBs and some OC from 2001-2017

So then it really makes me question why Nussmeier was hired as a TE coach by previous staff.

And if the team looks good by October, he will make another return as TE1

 

[RodeoJake]

Not good. We've never had a winning season with Nussmeier on the staff. He's a jinx.

 

[cowboy_ron]

This is a bit of a surprise

Witten for TE coach

Facts.

The staff last year, was strung together on scotch tape and bubble gum. Nobodies job was guaranteed is my guess

 

[fansince68]

Nuismeier is a lot more experienced than Kitna. TE coach was always an odd fit for an ex-QB who's an experienced QB coach

Well why not use Nuismier to coach the most important position in the first place? Looks kind of stupid to have Daks best option on the staff all these years.

Last year?

Witten for TE coach

hope not

 

[ShortRound]

Good or bad MM is getting HIS staff.

 

[Proof]

McCarthy is more then likely the actual QB coach and Playcaller.

this is my thinking. Kitna was probably too loud a voice when you already have McCarthy and Moore

 

[CWR]

Wonder who might be the TE coach?

Kitna

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

My God people I think the coach nows who he wants where, lol

Too bad he does knows who he wants.

Farewell to the highschool coach. Welcome aboard to another good hire by MM! Big upgrade over what we had.

 

[fansince68]

It would suck if we now bring in Witten as TE coach

Doug Nussmeier is expected to be named quarterbacks coach on Mike McCarthy’s staff after serving as the tight ends coach in 2018-19 under Jason Garrett, according to sources. He will replace Jon Kitna, who helped oversee Dak Prescott’s career highs in passing yards and touchdowns last season. Nussmeier played quarterback in the NFL and had been offensive coordinator at Alabama, Michigan and Florida before joining the Cowboys. Nussmeier will be Prescott’s fourth quarterback coach in five seasons.

This is the only hire of McCarthy that leaves me scratching my head.

I just don't find Nussmeier as a good coach in any capacity.

 

[pansophy]

Ok now see this doesn't make sense unless to me. I was fine with moving on from Kitna but this guy isn't even a outside hire he was already here.

This was talked about as being a possibility leading up to Kitna being released from his contract. There was some tweets suggesting Moore and Kitna weren’t always on the same page, plus Nussmeier has been a QB coach for 16 years and an offensive coordinator.

Probably the right move.

I don’t necessarily think Nussmeier is an upgrade in terms of technical skills teaching the QB. Kitna was a pro bowl QB. But he gets along better with Moore.
