Twitter: Cowboys to name Doug Nussmeier TE Coach

[northerncowboynation]

Finally!! That ends the new coach hirings doesn't it? New additions in Alexander, Lal and Richard I like. QB coach? Couldn't be worse than Wilson I suppose. looks like a decent staff. Who knows

 

[northerncowboynation]

Thank God that drama ended.

Come back in off the ledge now folks.

Damn straight, it's frickin cold up here and I been on the ledge for awhile sweating the TE coach. Hey it could have been Mark Colombo or Detective Columbo. I was truly freaked out

 

[northerncowboynation]

You sure it's not Mrs Doubtfire and not Mr Nussmeier. Man Robin Williams would have made a hell of a coach!!

 

[Dre11]

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

Who also coached a year under Saban. He also seeks Saban out about guys he knows

 

[Dre11]

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

They already are that!

That's bs.

 

[jrumann59]

I figure TE coach to be half receiver coach half OL coach, but I guess that would be too simplistic...

 

[Donut]

Sounds like a smoker I hope he can make it through a season.

 

[CouchCoach]

Didn't his own men kill him in Vietnam?

 

[GenoT]

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".

It also buys Linehan at least another season after 2018, as he’s gotta be given time to get all the new guys up to speed and on the same page.

Remember...it’s a process.

I just threw up ....A U of I reunion in Dallas....Just about as bad as the Eagles winning the Super Bowl.

Honestly...what the hell is this guy gonna tell Witten? He's never played the position...LOL @ this hire. This is definately a helping a buddy get a job move.

Gonna have to start digging around to find out who else Linehan is gonna recruit from his U of I days.

 

[CowboyChris]

i hope all these new coaches signed short contracts.

 

[Darthkuriboh]

not a good hire. As a sort of Gators fan (I look at standings but I'm not a fan of college football in general), I can honestly say the offense has sucked.

 

[Cattle_Rancher]

The other guy who had made a career out of coaching TEs sounded better, but maybe they brought this guy in to hold Moore’s hand while he gets his feet wet since Witten doesn’t need coaching.

 

[Carter]

He was terrible at Michigan. Thats all i remember. Typical Buddy Move from the Cowboys.

 

[Boyz981]

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

Good thing is just the TE coach then!! LOL

 

[Bullflop]

I've got a hunch that Witten may end up coaching Nussmier as much as Nussmier coaches him.

It could probably end up being a coordinated effort in that respect. I say good luck to them both.

The Cowboys are expected to name Doug Nussmeier as tight ends coach, according to sources. Nussmeier was the offensive coordinator at Florida last season. He has also been the offensive coordinator at Michigan and Alabama. He had a five-year NFL career as a backup quarterback with the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts. He was the quarterbacks coach for the St. Louis Rams for two seasons when offensive coordinator Scott Linehan was head coach. Like Linehan, he played collegiately at Idaho.

Seeing His papered credentials we're immediately encouraging

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

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

Then I stumbled across these couple of 'added' insights,,,

Yhis should be a good fit.

Coached with Linehan?

its all good.

Welcome.

Yes!

Then more "positive reenforcement",,,,,,YES!
I'M JAZZED.

 

[waving monkey]

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

Anderson ?

 

[DAL1180]

Didn't his own men kill him in Vietnam?

No. The Senate oversite committee that investigated that incident said there was no wrong doing. The chair of the committee was a Senator Blutarski I believe.

 

[Rayman70]

Another Linehan disciple. OH BOY...SB here we come. But seriously...this is a pretty decent hire.
