Colombo back as O-Line Coach

[ClappingCarrot]

I thought Frank Pollack left here because he was tired of JG and JJ?

I think it was just a matter of his contract expiring

Bunch of geniuses on this board. Yeah, the OC always brings in his OL coach. Deal breaker for 99% of OCs to not hand pick the OL coach

Although I like Colombo, I don't consider him an out-of-the-box thinker who will look at all possibilities with the line.

I have no idea if Williams would be a better right tackle than Collins, but I'd sure like to have a coach who explores that possibility, striving to truly start the best five, whether that's Smith, Williams, Frederick, Martin, Collins or Smith, Collins, Frederick, Martin, Williams or Looney or Sua'Filo starting at left guard.

 

[JBS]

Mistake.

Add it to the list...at this point, it doesn't matter

 

[DCBoysfan]

Good, I think he did a good job once he took over the line.

 

[Dwight]

Don't like this at all.

It doesn't matter; if Garrett stays, Linehan stays. It's Garrett's offense, it ain't going away and neither is Linehan.

Let's hope we see some of this out of the box thinking in his first off-season as ol coach...

Phone calls don’t count

Bill Callahan is looking to leave the Commanders.

OMG not teh Callahans. GOAT!

 

[Cowboys22]

Read how OL players rave about the difference he's made.

Really? The OL kind of sucked before and after he got the job.

except real thinkers know contracts can be bought out people can be fired , how long was Kingsbury a OC at USC? please lets revisit that? his signing means nothing except theyd like to keep him, if somehow SL gets canned and the new OC states he wants a new OL coach, they move Columbo aroundo or release him and pay the contract, it doesnt count against the salary cap..

Not every new head coach/coordinator turns over his entire staff.

Its not always a spectacular idea to fire everyone immediately. Sometimes you bring in some key pieces and keep the remaining homegrown talent and then reevaluate in the offseason.

This move doesn't preclude us from hiring a new coordinator necessarily.

Also the idea that some throw around about no one wanting to work for Jerry is utter crap. There is and always has been more talent than job openings. Its also worth note that succeeding in Dallas puts a massive spotlight on you (see Richard.)

As far as Columbo in general he made a difference and I am happy to keep him.

 

[glimmerman]

Kool. I am glad. Many think he should have had the shot from the beginning 2018.

 

[Rayman70]

AWESOME NEWS.

 

[conner01]

Kool. I am glad. Many think he should have had the shot from the beginning 2018.

I suspect had he went to Miami many would be saying it was Jerry’s fault and we should have kept him lol

 

[Kalyan]

Just 2019? Is Jerry trying to give JG one last chancle next year and then clean house? All other coaching contracts are ending next year too

 

[Doomsay]

Umm. HCs assemble their staffs.

Except neutered ones that lost their play calling role and have their headsets disconnected during game time.
