Hopefully Tyron Smith will become a benefactor of less holding calls if that is the case.

And phantom tripping

Hopefully Rob Davis is better for the Cowboys than MMs former Assistant Head Coach Winston Moss. Hung around for years and was not productive.

Didn't know Jerry overseen him too.

This team was the Detroit Lions and is moving up.

Listen up, Rob Davis is a brilliant assistant coach hire by McCarthy. It makes perfect sense to hire Davis since he most recently worked for a fire apparatus company. They make and retrofit fire trucks and there will be plenty of fires to put out each season on our team, believe me. I wonder who will be the assistant to the assistant head coach and who the barbecue and domino specialty coaches will be? Arlington Texas is already voting to rename its town Coachland. At this rate Jerry is going to have to have to sell his 250 million dollar yacht and settle for a dingy.

Ok, on a more serious note. This is going to be the deepest and most potent coaching staff in history. Rob Davis may not have coached but based on his background including Packers Director of Player Development for nearly a decade, he knows a thing or to to get the most out of players and make them the best they can be.

I know nothing about Rob Davis other than what is posted on the thread or what I have quickly Googled.

Anyway you slice it, this is an interesting hire. I just wonder if the intent is to manage and support the "whole" individual and not just the player. Maybe this is MM's way of addressing off-field behavior

When do we start signing players?

Rob Davis has not only joined Mike McCarthy's coaching staff in Dallas but his title is assistant head coach, sources said. A surprise considering he's never actually been on a coaching staff. He was director of player development with the Packers, which was under the football operations department.

This sounds like a guy that should be working more under Wil McClay's player personnel/scouting group .. rather than McCarthy's coaching group.
And i'm strongly assuming this does affect McClay's status as the overseer as THE director player of player personnel.

MM is slapping the asst. HC title on him so teams cannot hire him away under the same player personnel title alone.

I read the whole thread and half the posts were about Quentin Tarantino movies. I guess that about sums up how impressed everyone is by this choice.

Does Calvin Hill still work for the team? This almost sounds like Big Mike creating his own version of Calvin Hill's development, mentor and cleaner role... but with someone loyal to him, not Jerry.
