Twitter: Breer: Colombo Interviews For TE Coach Position

[cowboy_ron]

Columbo as TE coach......oooook, well I have heard of worse.......you know like an OL coach being promoted to DC......but 4 years removed that team is playing in the super bowl..........I guess they have a faster "process" than we do.

lol...you got that right. Jason Garretts "process" has to be measured in dog years.

Curly Lambeau was a player/head coach way, way back when. Dan Reeves was a player/coach for the Cowboys in the early 1970's.

Damn, you're right on Reeves! Curly was a little before my time I think. Is that who Lambeau field was named after. Good thing they didn't call it Curly Field. The frozen tundra of Curly just wouldn't sound right

Colombo

Columbo

Whew, thanks for the clarification. Had me goin there for a bit

An ex olineman for a tight ends coach? Man...I like Marc but this is risky. I don't see how Marc can help our tight ends with route running. Not seeing it. Now run blocking etc...I see that,but I would rather go get an actual proven coach.

Lots of assistants changes roles throughout their career. Josh McDaniels was a defensive assistant at one point.

 

[CowboysDrew]

Make him GM.

TE coach is considered a lower step towards becoming an OL coach.

Hiring an actual TE coach wouldn't be a bad thing though.

Just sayin.

Curly was before all our time. I remember Mo's brother Curly, but that was just through reruns.

And yes, that is who Lambeau Field is named after.

At least Colombo has 4 years in the organization (2014 - personnel department, 2015-2017 assistant O Line coach), unlike the Kellen Moore debacle.

Colombo is also a tough s.o.b. that the players and other coaches respect. I would not hate this move.

I think the point is, he's been on the offensive side of the ball and probably pulled some stuff from the TE coaches over the years.

It's really not as unusual as some may think for a coach to be over a position he didn't play himself, and realistically there is a lot of overlap between an O-Lineman and a TE anyway. I can't remember which team it is off the top of my head, but there is (or was) a team who's QB coach only played defense in college.

 

[Teague31]

Sounds good. Sort of like moving Lett over to work with the corners

 

[G2]

Colombo? Like Detective Colombo? Thought the guy just wore a trench coat and chewed cigars! Man, we'll hire just about anyone

Well, the play calling is suspect

 

[noshame]

Somebody save me

I'm beginning to long for Campo in the lunch pail

Kellen Moore actually has 3 years in the organization, just as a backup player rather than on staff. It's really not fair to call something a debacle in advance. Moore may do well.

In that case Colombo has 10 years inn the organization.

Moore is a debacle. It may take a few of you a few years to admit it, but it's happening. Dak is in a critical developmental stage of his career. This (naming Kellen Moore QB Coach) is a bad, bad move.

Curly Lambeau was the founder of the Packers. He was a player-coach back in the 1920's.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I guess that's all I have to say in this thread except

 

[OmerV]

Every TE coach was something else before they were a TE coach.

 

[sdfidaho]

Her's a new one. Noah Brown being moved to TE because of his blocking skills.

I just read that as a possible option today. Wow
