CFZ DQ's hiring ends drought for Cowboys assistant coaches

[Bobhaze]

It had been 16 years since a Cowboys coordinator or assistant coach was hired away from the Cowboys as a head coach. The last time that happened was in 2008 when Tony Sparano was poached from the Cowboys in 2008 to become head coach of the dolphins.

When your team is playing well it usually means you should be prepared to see assistant coaches being hired somewhere else as HCs. The Cowboys have had many former assistants become very successful head coaches:

• Dan Reeves- went to coach the broncos and falcons, taking both teams to SBs although never winning one.
• Mike Ditka- became head coach of the bears and led that great ‘85 bears team to a SB win. Later coached at NO as well.
• Gene Stallings- also a former Cowboys assistant who left to become the cardinals HC and later won a national championship as HC at Alabama.
• Dave Wannstedt- after the Cowboys won SB 27, he leftJimmy’s staff to become beats HC.
• Butch Davis- another Jimmy assistant who also be came a HC (can’t remember where, lol
• Tony Sparano- left Wades staff to take the Mia job in 2008

I know there are a few I’m leaving off. Losing assistants to HC jobs usually means your team has been winning so it’s mostly a good thing. We haven’t had many assistants leave for HC jobs the last three decades.

As I said in the other thread. Good teams have this happen. Think Philly misses their DC and OC from last year? Demeco is way better than Wilkes. On and on…..

 

[RonWashington]

Does DQ qualify as coming off the MM coaching tree ? They were talking Andy Reid last week as they were whipping the Ravens and his tree practically included Bronco Nagurski and Paul Brown

Right. I didn’t list them all. I was just making the point it has been 16 years since another team hired one of our assistants as a HC.

All Parcells guys. You think anybody wants a jason garrett coach? Lol

 

[big dog cowboy]

I can't believe those loaded staffs The Clapper and Wade had didn't get poached.

 

[TheCoolFan]

This is why I disagree with those who say Kyle Shanahan is not a good coach. He's loses key assistants every year but he's still managed to take teams to the conference championship/Super Bowl with Garoppolo and the last draft pick at QB

Has one of the better GM's in the league too.

Just goes to show what the rest of the league thinks of Jerry hiring people.

So did Moore not count? Or was he not under contract?

It is a clear indictment of Jerry Jones the GM when it comes to hiring coaches. He hires crap coaches most of the time that nobody else would hire.

Quinn was hired because he was the last choice of candidates to get asked to the dance. Commanders were screwed because they were going to hire Ben Johnson.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

We sent Quinn to the Commode.
