It's sad that I know an unheralded Jets OLineman (Vladimir Ducasse) just from his pic. I might be spending too much time obsessing about football.

Callahan is no particular guru!!! If he was all that...why did the Jets dump him and why was he available for us to scrape him up off the pile. Even players who played for him at Nebraska, Oakland & the Jets weren't particularily sad to see him go....
You better hope he does better here...Or Tony purchases jet shoes...?

IRVING, Texas -- Damien Woody was an offensive lineman for Bill Callahan for three years with the New York Jets, and he can’t say enough good things about the Cowboys' new offensive line coach.

And it sounds like Callahan can’t wait to get started.

“I talked to him yesterday,” said Woody, who is now an analyst for ESPN. “He was definitely excited. Just excited for the fact of that organization and the rich tradition the Cowboys have and the personnel on offense. He’s really excited about the personnel on offense, the personnel of the offensive line. He knows it’s a young group, but it’s a talented group. He’s going to be a good fit for the Dallas Cowboys.”

One thing about working with a young group as the OL is, there are no ego's to deal with.

Ego usually comes with talent.

We're a selfless bunch up front.

Ego also comes from success. This is a young group wet behind the ears who have the work ethic but not the experiance.

small school tackle coming out of i believe umass... yes this forum is full of geeks, lol.

When I see that name I always wonder how he got hung with that name? Sounds more like a white russian.

 

[jterrell]

and no offense but if people are questioning callahan they need to broaden their football knowledge base.

he was beloved in ny but left that sinking ship.

he was a top notch ol coach to the point of getting head coaching gigs. he is sparano plus 10 years experience.

anyone doubting him is really in bad shape.

by the way, when he got carl nicks he wasn't a 1st round pick he was a juco transfer.

he is by far the strongest asst coach on our staff and jason were to be suspended or out for surgery expect callahan to be the short term head coach, not ryan. his attention to detail will really help this club in many areas.

Landry seemed to have a way of pulling the ego rug out from under a player that got too big for his britches....seems like I remember Thomas Henderson arriving at the Cowboys offices once (at the time Henderson was one of if not the best LB at the time) in a limo and a fur coat telling Tom he wanted to renegotiate his contract..Toms response was "you haven't made the team yet".

Ego, and talent are two different things....

Have you ever watched a game of football? Heck, do you even know what a football looks like?

Freddy Mitchell had a pretty good sized ego.

I don't recall the talent coming anywhere close.

That's why I said usually.

Try to keep up.

Or the talent.

There's that pesky word again.

I believe that some are consciously or subconsciously equating Callahan's head coaching resume with that of his assistant coaching resume. Then they infer or outright state that he is not qualified for his current position on that basis.

there are hundreds of posters on here with huge egos but minimum talent (myself included lol) that suggest otherwise

I think some are simply saying that we have a talent issue along the OL. The coaching was sound. It doesn't get any better than Hudson Houck.

So in that case Bill Callahan isn't the difference. Better players are.

What are your qualifications again for judging NFL talent?
Have you ever worked any of these guys?

You should change your forum name to chicken little.
Prozac, ASAP.

Even with Mitchell he had enough talent to get drafted in the 1st round. You don't do that unless you were a BMOC in college. That builds ego.

You can have fun with marginal fringe players with no ego. I'll take the talented guy every time.

I believe there are those that recognize Callahan is a quality OL coach and those who are still butt hurt we didn't draft DeCastro.

The butt hurts are gonna cry and be miserable regardless.

I see.

So everybody on this forum needs to stop stating their opinions on anything related to the personnel on this team. Positive or negative.
