Signed by Cowboys Aden Durde named DL coach

[RustyBourneHorse]

Honestly, I don't get this hire. I mean, there is probably a lot I don't get but this, I really don't understand. I mean, the Falcon's DL was worse then ours was and that with Grady Jarrett and Dante Fowler. I mean, this guy played for the London Olympians, Scottish Claymores, Hamburg Sea Devils and was a practice squade member of the Panthers in 2005 and the Chiefs in 2008. I mean, this is not to say that you have to have played in the NFL to be a good Coach but it does speak to the level of coaching that you, yourself, have received. It speaks to the knowledge base you have. It would be different if I could look at his resume and see a lot of experience but I can't. First of all, he's English, which leads me to believe that he probably didn't grow up with the game. He probably grew up playing other sports, as opposed to Football so I'm guessing he didn't get a ton of experience there. He's been a Quality Control Coach for Atlanta 2018/19 and an outside LBs Coach in Atlanta for 2020.

How in the hell does this qualify this guy to be our DL Coach? This guy may end up being some kind of Savant but this, this type of management is why we are 25 years in with nothing to show for it. What the hell are we thinking? This has to be some kind of mistake, I would think.

He also interned for us in 2014. So, he's someone that is known within the team. I'm curious to see what he does.

I was expecting Lett to get this gig, just seemed natural.

He interned here for a year under Garrett.

I believe I just alleviated all of your concerns.

WHERE YOU AT, ALEX?!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

yeah it’s becoming hard to decipher his posts now....I mean I know he’s going for a million likes but still..:

Oh is that why he does what he does lol?

 

[quickccc]

I’d prefer experience.

Ditto here as well.

I would've preferred someone with far more reputable veteran experience, Yet Tomsula was one that had such vet coach experience and a top reputation coming here last year.
yet he proved an incredible disaster and set back.

I thought for sure it would come down to either Giff Smith (chargers) ...or Tosh Lupoi (DL coach with ATL) who coached DL
with Quinn. but this is a totally Dan Quinn call, and he is familiar with Durde butt it's gonna be on Quinn's neck in how it turns out.
Quinn being both a ex-DL coach and a reputable DC, i'm taking and leaving it up to him and how/who he prefers to operate.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Risen is trolling lol.....whatever he says just know he means the opposite.

Except anything Wentz related

So who is the new strength and conditioning coach?

Harold Nash was the assistant strength coach to the late Markus Paul so I assume he has the job to himself now. Nash has 16 years experience and was with Detroit before coming to Dallas last year.

Of course you don't and no surprise.

 

[J-man]

I can't say I'm thrilled about this signing.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Well, I'm willing to give this guy a chance. A year ago a lot of people were praising the Jim Tomsula hire because he was a familiar name. Durde has paid his dues as an intern and working his way up through the ranks as an assistant; so maybe he's the bright young mind the Cowboys need coaching the d-line.

Just have to wait and see.

 

[Carson]

I can't say I'm thrilled about this signing.

Best way to look at it, is he can improve the DL. He is young, fiery and ready to get better

We have tried with proven guys like Rod and Tomsula and got average marks.

ABQ is a good dude. Please don't school him, bro.

The Eagles have now requested permission to speak with Aden Durde for their head coach position.

And this is why you're the "likes" champeen!

Was against Nolan and Tomsula and I'm not crazy about this hire either. To be honest, I don't love our DC hire this time around either. Maybe it's just me.....

This dude is a bada**.

Imagine this kind of swag with Dorance Armstrong and Trysten Hill.
