RELEASED Colombo out; Joe Philbin expected to reunite with McCarthy to coach OL

[FloridaRob]

I told you guys Philbin would probably be offensive line coach. Now do you want to know your record for next year? that would be 11 and 5.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Thought Colombo did a good job with Collins, but not the OL as a whole

 

[Rockport]

As OL coach he has had success including SB in Green Bay. I agree his time in Miami was not great but in fairness who has been great in Miami?

He was a head coach in Miami wasn’t he?

 

[NorthTexan95]

He was a head coach in Miami wasn’t he?

Yep. Another former head coach for the staff.

 

[batman36]

I don't know if this new staff works over time, but it sure is refreshing!

 

[ClappingCarrot]

With the way this past season played out, I would've cleaned house too.

Quite a few former head coaches on this roster already in key assistant positions. McCarthy is rallying the troops, baby!

 

[Redball Express]

Damn, Jerry really let him have full control.

Columbo was always a stop gap fix.

Last year showed he needed more help.

But for as much as he did after Alexander left..

Thanx Marc.

Much appreciated. Go get another opportunity.

You figure McCarthy spent the season going over everything from his early days to the final year in GB. He has been planning a return to the sideline and would think part of those plans would be who would he hire as assistant coaches when the time came.

 

[Tussinman]

Thank god. Where not have garbage this year like

1. We have to start Connor Williams because he was a top 50 pick and we'll look bad drafting him if he doesn't play
2. We can't get free agent starters because it under-mines the front offices draft choices
3. We have to pay Crawford 8 million to stay on the roster because "he's out friend and a locker-room guy"


Can't wait for all this Garret Era crap to finally be over

 

[MikeB80]

I like Marc Columbo and always will. I imagine he will be a part of a Garrett staff somewhere in the future.

having said that we now have added a third assistant coach with a lifetime of football experience and a former NFL head coach.

If Haslett is hired that would be four former head coaches as positional coaches here.

This is great news.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Lol, well that could've gone either way.

 

[Carson]

Philbin can teach the Olineman how to hold and get away with it. There is a YouTube video out about the technique he teaches the lineman

Expect he coaches in Dallas now. Phantom penalties lol

 

[sean10mm]

Philbin is another guy in the "good assistant, bad head coach" category that the Cowboys are using in 100% the right role - as an assistant/coordinator tier guy. I like it.

 

[Doomsday101]

He was a head coach in Miami wasn’t he?

Yes and as we all know being a good assistant or coordinator does not make you a great HC. Job is different as the lead man. But as I said, in all fairness who has done well in Miami. When was their last time in the SB?

 

[The Quest for Six]

What, A headcoach with the ability to hire his own staff, what a novelty!!!!

 

[Kaiser]

PS, this should end all talk if Jerry is running the show for hiring asst coaches.

Hold on guys, I'm still catching up on the posts that Jerry isn't going to fire Garrett.

 

[JPM]

As OL coach he has had success including SB in Green Bay. I agree his time in Miami was not great but in fairness who has been great in Miami?

Don Shula and........

With Conner Williams as well but I didn't like his scheme. With our guys they should play something simpler and just let them dominate the guy in front of them.

 

[visionary]

Good. There are plenty of coaches that can get the job done. The most important thing is that everyone is on the same page.

this

the assistant coaches should be beholden to McCarthy for their jobs not Jerry

 

[Carson]

Hopefully he gets the most from our guys. OL looking good with the right coaching

Smith - McGovern - Frederick - Martin - Collins

Williams, Redmond, Hyatt, Looney/Sua'Filo (if resigned)
