Cowboys add Ken Amato as defensive staff assistant

[cowboy_ron]

Soooo, instead of a defensive asst, we also have a defensive "staff" asst.

 

[Donut]

I've been high on him! Nice hire!

I'm just hoping Lal and Alexander, and the new TE coach gets into the meetings and say what the heck kind of offense is this?!? My 8 yr old runs more complex schemes in Pee Wee!

Lal, no Dez, no.....its 8 chop steps and then you turn around for the button hook....not 7!!!!

 

[MileyDancer]

Omgwhocares.

Wow, we've practically signed enough new assistants to assemble a small army.

Let's just hope they somehow manage to get in tune with one another in a hurry.

I mean, do they REALLY do anything?

H-m-m -- I'd say we're about to find out, one way or the other.
Perhaps there's strength in numbers, if nothing else?

The Cowboys have added Ken Amato as a defensive staff assistant, which moves the team closer to finalizing Jason Garrett's staff. Amato worked with the Cowboys' special teams last year through minority coaching fellowship program. He spent nine seasons (2003-11) with the Tennessee Titans as a long snapper. He replaces Turner West, who took a job at Austin Peay.

how much do these assistant to the coordinators make per year?....do you know by any chance?

Yeah -- I'd like nothing better than to be sent to games as a special ambassador to spread warm fuzzies and report back to CZ.

Domo arigato, Mr Amato!

It's a defensive staff assistant - about as low as it gets in the coaching hierarchy. A non event.

 

[OmerV]

I nominate Bill Bates.

Ditto

Soooo, instead of a defensive asst, we also have a defensive "staff" asst.

Maybe more of an administrative guy than an on field coach

It’s the whole “assistant regional manager versus assistant to the regional manager” distinction.
