Signed by Cowboys Al Harris named DB Coach

[Risen Star]

Al Harris will join Mike McCarthy's staff as a defensive backs coach. Harris played for McCarthy in Green Bay and was an assistant in Kansas City from 2013-18. He had 21 interceptions in a 14-year career. The Cowboys will also have former Texas A&M cornerbacks coach Maurice Linguist as a defensive backs coach. No decision has been made yet on a receivers coach but Adam Henry, who was with Cleveland last year, is among the candidates.

The news just keeps getting better. I'm getting a little excited.

 

[NeathBlue]

His 21 interceptions in 14 years seems more than the Cowboys managed in that time lol

 

[NeonNinja]

Good hire, IMO.

 

[Risen Star]

So one coaches corners and the other safeties.

Or one is the secondary coach and the other the assistant. Heck if I know.

You're supposed to have all the answers man.

 

[Risen Star]

Harris is a former Eagle. Anybody got a problem with that?

 

[BigWillie]

I'm not sure what is inspiring about this hire, other than just a notable name.

He was fired from the Chiefs, and spent last year as an volunteer assistant at Florida Atlantic.

"We want the ball and we are going to score "

Al Harris wasn't having any of that..career highlight

Was he a fall guy or just fell from grace?

 

[Carson]

I love this pickup. Al was one of my favorite corners

The best volunteer assistant Florida Atlantic ever had.

You left that part out, hater.

I only like Cowboys players.

*raises hand*

 

[Risen Star]

The thing is I wouldn't be comfortable with either of these guys being the secondary coach and a partnership where one coaches the corners and the other the safeties seems like a communication disaster waiting to happen.

 

[CyberB0b]

He's gonna have a dread contest vs Jaylon.

 

[ShortRound]

So just WR coach left? Not bad for less than two weeks.

 

[Risen Star]

We don't have a spot for Ben Bloom?

Pffft.

 

[Oneiros]

I like the hire.

Yeah, I'm curious what will end up happening with Adam Henry. It would almost appear to be in the Browns court as to whether they want him back or if he's allowed to come here.

I think that he'd be a nice addition if he signs with us.
