Twitter: Cowboys to name Doug Nussmeier TE Coach

[TheCoolFan]

Good hire I guess. He has lots of recent college experience so hopefully he can help bring some fresh concepts to the Air Garrett offense.

This sums it up well. While I don't know why, they've decided to go "all in" with Linehan. And this is another one of his guys hired.

Like you said, "no excuses".

Jason has nearly no coaching experience outside of Dallas to tie him to other coaches.

Plus is known for stabbing Wade in the back, throwing Ryan under the bus and a few other coaching sins.

Other side of coin is, if it fails, it means almost all the offensive staff will be gone.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Nussmeier was Linehan's QB at U of Idaho when Linehan was offensive coordinator there in 1990s

I've said many many times, familiarity is paramount to this KO.........

I hope so, but that assumes accountability, and I'm not sure if that can be a given at this point.

As fans, we all hope they succeed and things go well, but if they don't, the team needs to clean house. "No excuses".

 

[ESisback]

Decent hire. I like this and Kris Richard. The rest are suspect.

I like the OL Coach and WR Coach. I think those changes will be a plus for the offense.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Well...Guess Linehan had better turn things around because he should not have any excuses other than injuries.

He actually gained more of his guys this offseason.

Injuries aren't an excuse either.

 

[OmerV]

It's a good thing fans trashed the Cowboys for hiring Marc Colombo when they did because if they had waited to see who the team actually hired they would have missed the chance.

Dangit. Wanted the Kubiak guy. He could have actually helped the offense with input.

I don't know how Florida's offense was so terrible, but maybe he learned something. Meh.

 

[gimmesix]

He completely sucked as Florida's OC for the last 3 years.

Fortunately, it doesn't take much coaching to tell Witten to keep doing what he's been doing for the past 15 years and for the other tight ends to follow Witten and do what he does.

sounds like a case of someone who knows someone kinda like politics lol

You mean tell Witten to keep doing what he's been doing and tell the other TE's to sit down and shut up.
Except Hanna... get out there and block, you receiving TE.

There was some noob here today, or last evening whining about armchair GM's and said that age old "If y'all were so good, why aren't you GM's?" like it works like that.
There's a reason the Jeff Fishers of the world keep getting jobs: Good 'Ol Boy's Network.
Exact same thing in my field of work.

If you're In, you're IN, but to get IN...

It's not how good you are, it's the circles you keep.

Don't worry guys, I just reported myself. That'll teach me, heh heh heh... Wait.

 

[Idgit]

I know nothing about the guy, but why do fans think there's a lot of overlap between OC at a major college and position coaching in the NFL? Those two jobs seem pretty different, to me.

Unionjack8 approves THIS hire . Continue

Nice... I like that. A person who comes across like they know what's up.
Now:
Why do you approve of this hire?

 

[Plankton]

Like you said, "no excuses".

He also coached under Saban, which is big with Garrett.

 

[Aven8]

Our TE's will be the worse in the NFL??

They already are that!
