"Gods team"

Sounds like a kool aide drinker

Pass
She seems very knowledgable but she can't spell her own name.
Not judging, in fact a little female aggression mixed with machismo might be the spark we need!!!!

List is so bad you almost miss Linehan.

Gary Brown --Zero to suggest Gary is ready for more responsibility. DAL has 1 RB that is more than poor, Zeke, and the run game is no where near as important to modern NFL winning as passing.

Sanjay Lal There was a lot of hype with Lal. The guys who can run routes now: Bease/Cooper always could. Cooper didn't learn to beat people like a drum in 1 week with Lal. LOL. Had journeymen over-performed at WR Ok... but no this team had to trade a 1st to bolster the position. Not a good look for the position coach.

David Culley Was passed in KC by younger more modern football minds. Was part of the worst offense in football last year.

Marty Mornhinweg No idea what this fascination is with hiring Linehan x2. Half this list is 60+ and hasn't even seen a college game on TV in a decade plus.Stop it.

Todd Haley Haley is a great mind but a terrible person to be around and has been run out of town in 3-4 different stops now.

Hue Jackson Jackson couldn't get the most out of Baker Mayfield so no he is not your guy.

Nussmeier Has recent college ties and offered some original thought to this offense but Linehan had such a heavy hand we didn't see much make the field. Of in house options he is clearly the best.

When reading "Blogging the Boys"
people need to understand the source most of the time.

Very often no real inside information at all.
Just Joe Fan making stuff up

This list has some pretty impressive resumes. I like Marty's resume the best. Your thoughts?

Gary Brown has been coaching the running backs in Dallas for six seasons now with great success. He is largely credited with helping DeMarco Murray make the jump to an elite running back before coaching Darren McFadden to his first 1,000 yard rushing season in five years back in the 2015 season. Brown has also been instrumental in developing Ezekiel Elliott, and his relationship with the players is extremely positive. Promoting Brown would be good for continuity and his emphasis on running the ball would go along with the team’s philosophy, but it also leaves the door open for some ingenuity from Brown, who spent two years under Pat Shurmur in Cleveland.

Sanjay Lal There was a lot of excitement in the offseason when Sanjay Lal was hired as the wide receivers coach. His reputation as a master teacher of route running skills was supposed to help the Cowboys create a successful passing offense without Dez Bryant. It didn’t necessarily work out, and the Cowboys traded for Amari Cooper, who quickly cemented himself as the next great receiver for Dallas.

While Cooper came to the Cowboys with a star pedigree already, he had been underperforming in Oakland for a little over a year. A lot of this had to do with the way Oakland was using him, so props need to be given to Lal for connecting with Cooper and getting him back to the kind of play he’s accustomed to. However, Lal deserves specific credit for the development of rookie Michael Gallup, who seemingly got better each and every week. In fact, Gallup had the best game of his young career in the playoff loss to the Rams, catching six passes for 119 yards. Lal may be too new to the team for Jason Garrett to hand him the keys to this offense, but the work this coach has already done speaks for itself.

David Culley you may be asking who this is, but after looking at his past, David Culley is an under-the-radar guy who has incredible potential as a playcaller. He spent three seasons coaching wide receivers under Bill Cowher in Pittsburgh before joining Andy Reid’s first staff with the Eagles. From 1999 to 2010, Culley coached receivers for Reid’s high-flying offenses before he was given the additional title of senior offensive assistant. When Reid became the Chiefs head coach in 2013, Culley joined him as the assistant head coach and receivers coach.

Marty Mornhinweg For some continuity, here’s another former Andy Reid assistant in Marty Mornhinweg. From 2003 to 2005, Mornhinweg was the senior offensive assistant and assistant head coach in Philadelphia before being promoted to offensive coordinator, a role he held from 2006 to 2012 when Reid was fired. While Reid called the plays, Mornhinweg was hailed for his heavy involvement in the offense and how much he helped the unit to improve. Prior to coming to Philly, Mornhinweg spent four years as the offensive coordinator for the 49ers under Steve Mariucci before an unsuccessful two-year stint as the Lions head coach.

Yet, in Mornhinweg’s entire career as both a head coach and coordinator, he’s had eight different top 10 scoring offenses, nine top 10 passing offenses, and six top 10 rushing offenses. And in 2018, Mornhinweg was running the offense for the Ravens and adjusted the team’s scheme midway through the year to incorporate rookie Lamar Jackson’s mobility. Baltimore ultimately decided to move on from him after the team’s loss in the Wild Card round this year, but Mornhinweg’s recent experience with a dual threat quarterback and his history in Reid’s offensive scheme could offer an exciting opportunity in Dallas.

Todd Haley Yes, he was fired by the Browns alongside Hue Jackson, but that was reportedly due to the very obvious rift between Todd Haley and the head coach and had little to do with Haley’s actual ability as a coach. In that regard, Haley is a really great offensive coordinator. He started out as a disciple of Bill Parcells, which includes three seasons as the wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator in Dallas when the Big Tuna was the head coach.

Haley has used the lessons he learned from Parcells everywhere he’s gone. He has no real offensive scheme, but instead focuses on highlighting each player’s strengths and aggressively attacking a defense’s weakness. He crafted a deadly vertical passing attack that nearly won a Super Bowl for the Cardinals, and then went to Pittsburgh and got some of the best years out of Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown while turning Le’Veon Bell into a star. Much like Parcells, though, Haley can be a bit rough around the edges and that sometimes rubs his players the wrong way; he was reportedly let go by Pittsburgh after the 2017 season because Big Ben had grown tired of his shtick. His personality may end up clashing too much with Garrett’s culture, but if they decide he’s a fit, then the sky is the limit for what Haley could do with this roster.

Hue Jackson Ok stop laughing. Jackson was laughably terrible head coach as he went 3-36-1 in two and a half years in Cleveland. But it can’t be forgotten that Jackson has been pretty great as an offensive coordinator. He ran the offense for the Raiders in 2010 and produced the sixth best scoring offense and second best rushing attack.

He was also the Bengals offensive coordinator from 2014 to 2015, during which time the Bengals averaged 24.5 points per game and went 22-9-1 in the regular season. In both of Jackson’s years as the offensive coordinator, the Bengals were top 15 in total yards, passing, and rushing, including having the sixth best rush attack in 2014. His success as an offensive coordinator is why Jackson was the hottest head coaching candidate after the 2015 season. It obviously didn’t work out, but Jackson’s ability to run an offense is very valuable. However, his ugly divorce from the Browns may deter the Cowboys from hiring him.

Nussmeier:facepalm:

Just let the NFL's all-time leading clapper call the plays. Stop giving him scapegoats.
