Signed by Cowboys Al Harris named DB Coach

[Alexander]

Was he a fall guy or just fell from grace?

The whole Chiefs defensive staff was canned, so not a fall guy.

 

[Walker]

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

I would like to see a coaching staff made of all Cowboyszone posters.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I'm having a hard time believing Jim Hasselt won't on this staff........Hell if you believe what we've heard, he spent almost as much time with Mike as his wife last year.

McCarthy said the team is still working through specific roles here, but Maurice Linguist and Al Harris – a former Pro Bowl cornerback under McCarthy in Green Bay – are coming aboard. Harris has been an assistant with the Chiefs, and Linguist has coached defensive backs at the college level for the past 13 seasons, most recently Texas A&M's cornerbacks last year.

McCarthy said the team hasn't finalized the wide receivers coach position yet.

Leon Lett, a Cowboys defensive assistant/defensive tackles coach since 2011, will interview with the defensive staff in the coming days, McCarthy said.

I remember him more Cheese head than egirls.

 

[Floatyworm]

I just want someone that can teach our DBs how to back peddle and turn and run w/ WRs......and then find the football in the air....and make a play.

I know......I'm asking for the world..

 

[Kwyn]

Big Al Harris fan when he played. You know you old when players you watched are now coaching.

no, you know you’re old when players you watched are now only eligible to be voted into the HOF by the Seniors Committee

The carnage. There would be coaches wrestling on the sidelines

 

[darthseinfeld]

I remember him more Cheese head than egirls.

Iirc he started more with GB and was more of a sub package guy with Philadelphia

First day on the job.......,”CATCH the damn BALL!!!!!!”

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.

Todd Archer, ESPN Staff Writer

Didn't he intercept Tim Hasselback in the infamous, "We want the ball and we're going to score" debacle?

 

[JBell]

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

Averaged just over one INT per season. Sounds about Cowboy

 

[stiletto]

LOL @ people complaining about defensive changes after the misery of the last several years under Marinelli. I welcome ANY change....

 

[Oneiros]

Averaged just over one INT per season. Sounds about Cowboy

Considering our #1 CB has 2 career INTs in 5 seasons I'd say that's an improvement.

We're setting the bar really high

 

[perrykemp]

I like it, I dont know much about him other than I hated him when we played him, gave our recivers fits..talked alot it seemed.

Glad hes finally on our side.

Harris was a tough SOB. Scrappy as all get out.

 

[Oneiros]

We're setting the bar really high

Trust me, I'd prefer to see that number increase significantly.

Although Harris wasn't a ballhawk by any stretch he did seem to play big in the big moments. And it's sad when an average of just over 1 a year is an improvement over what we have.

Hopefully that changes this upcoming year.

 

[LatinMind]

Leon Lett to meet with McCarthy when he gets back

 

[Ranched]

Jerry's on a roll & spending the money. He has the roster and now the coaches. Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid, America's Team is reborn.
