Coaches As Cowboys

[Thomas82]

Does anybody know of any coaches, either head coach or assistant (past or present), that actually played for the Cowboys at some point in their careers before they moved on to coaching?

All I have so far is:

-Jason Garrett
-Mike Ditka
-Dan Reeves
-Jack Del Rio
-Ray Horton
-Ken Norton, Jr.

I believe George Teague is a high school coach at a private in the DFW area. I think Aveion Cason is a trainer in Arlington (don't know if that qualifies as a "coach). I saw him at a gym training someone about 6-7 months ago.

Jon Kitna's story is inspiring. If you can find the link (I can't at the moment) it is well worth the read. Basically, he coaches at a school filled with troubled teens in WA state.
