Kudos to Al! Some of the local podcasts say Al tried to leave with DQ. Don't know if this was the agreement to stay, but he deserves it.

 

[Risen Star]

He's going to have to really gorge himself over the summer for me to like this.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Well-deserved

 

[ShortRound]

Good for him, wish him success in the new role.

Not really.

Nice. I wanted to keep him around. I think he may be our next DC.

No report of this on the official team website - but this type of promotion announcement could be on hold for a formal press conference at The Star tomorrow.

Love Al Harris, but weird move given he is the DB coach. Is this to diminish a threat from Zimmer??

 

[GINeric]

Nice. I wanted to keep him around. I think he may be our next DC.

I still feel that he's going to eventually join Quinn in Washington which will be sickening.

 

[MojaveJT]

After they blocked the Commanders from interviewing him they must have had this in the works…possibly.

HC - McCarthy
Asst - HC Harris
DC - Zimmer
DB Coach - Harris


seems about right in this mess Jerry created. Likely done for no other reason than to keep him here when he wants to interview for a DB job elsewhere

Anyone else get the feeling that Mccarthy is on a short leash if the team starts off slow?

I really hope not. I’m hoping this promotion keeps us safe from Quinn poaching him.

 

[Captain-Crash]

he deserves it. I wonder if they did this now because Quinn was thinking of picking him up and giving him the same title so it wasn't a lateral move?

Looks like Jerry is trying to find additional ways to add to his comp pick stock pile. If by some chance we have a good year and Al Harris gets promoted to HC somewhere then Dallas would get two 3rd round comp picks.

Reminds me of the mid--to- late 2000s, when major college football programs were designating the top assistant coach or coordinator with the title "Head Coach In Waiting".

With the departure of Quinn and Harris given a promotion who was responsible for the soft coverages designed for the Packers game?

I get that we were trying to support what was a porous run defence, but to play so soft made me think we were running out rookie corners we didn't trust to cover or tackle.

Was this Harris' recommendations?

I don't mean this in a smart*** way but what do you think? I don't know a team where the DB coach makes the decisions on how the defense is going to scheme and cover.

Not really.

Yes really
