Signed by Cowboys Cowboys add Darian Thompson as assistant LB and QC coach

[Hawkeye0202]

Exactly what I'm talking about post #20

 

[darthseinfeld]

Does he have any previous coaching experience?

No, but its a QC job, so pretty its entry level

 

[DandyDon52]

HaHaHaHa—yeah, I get it—HaHaHaHa—he’s fat—HaHaHaHa—food’s his number one priority—HaHaHaHa—stupid fat people—HaHaHaHa!

well dont take it out on me ! I see jokes about his size here all the time.
he isnt fat he is just big, do you really think 1 hamburger will fill him up??

 

[DandyDon52]

Fellowship hirings.........NFL is trying to level the playing field a bit ( between nepotism and good ole boy connections )

hardly anyone outside the nfl can get in!

 

[Cowpolk]

more like 3 whataburgers and xtra large fries and a shake or 2 .

I like the large vanilla shakes usually get a Whataburger JR and small onion rings with it

It's a football board not a encounter group

 

[charron]

Its not like a multibillion dallar company can afford to hire the best coaches.

These are assistants to the assistant coaches. Glorified interns. It's an extra hand to help out the team while giving them some coaching experience.

So they work for nearly free and you think this somehow disputes my point ?. We had assistant d line coaches last year also- these guys have no experience at all. Not saying it won’t work but it’s been reported merry wanted to scale back the coaching staff and he’s done so.

In terms of saying these guys are glorified interns - I’m willing to bet you even in this limited role they make more a year than many posters here

20 bucks says Ben DiNucci is the QB Coach.

I'll take that action, lol...

 

[Captain-Crash]

why not gregg hardy or jay ratliff? Maybe killer lewis?

I'm not sure what your point is. We didn't spend big on assistant-assistant coaches ... but they make more than most people? Which is it?

 

[CashMan]

The only thing I can think of is he must have really impressed Quinn in his one season with him in 2021.

So much so that he wasn't signed for 2022.

 

[phildadon86]

These hires do kind of substantiate the rumors that Jerry didn’t wanna pay top dollar to his assistants

I think the bigger thing is that coaches worth anything dont want to come here for 1 season if MM were to get canned.

 

[Zekeats]

Makes sense, hire a safety to coach linebackers. To another 25 years!

 

[America's Cowboy]

20 bucks says Ben DiNucci is the QB Coach.

Nope. DiNucci is getting ready to start and play for his new XFL team which is about to start its new season this Saturday...

Exactly....100%
MM can only guarantee a candidate 2023........
It's likely why MM Brian S are the OCs. The standard contracts for new coordinators are 3 years.

The point is that Jerry set out with a goal to condense the coaching staff down immensely and cut salary in that dept. he started by firing Philbin who made over 2 million. He’s hired a few assistants like chinyoung and now Floyd with little experience. The less experience you have as a coach = the less salary you get paid.

Schottenheimer who has experience isn’t calling the plays and has less duties than a normal coordinator so he’s probably getting paid less. My point was exactly what I said that Jerry has allocated most of the coaching money to Quinn. Which is fine and this philosophy isn’t far from the organizations free agency approach….bargain bin shopping hoping you can get similar results as higher paid players.

What was your point ?

 

[John813]

Philbin wasn't fired. His contract expired.

 

[DCBoysfan]

At least he‘s not a retread. He may be a good hire,

I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

So, just how many quality control guys are the Cowboys' going to hire? Seems like we have a lot so far.
