IRVING -- One major reason defensive line coach Todd Grantham was able to leave was his contract was coming to a close following the 2009 season.

Grantham's deal ends at the end of January.

But he's not the only coach with deals that are up for renewal.

Secondary/safeties coach Brett Maxie, quality control coaches Wes Phillips and Dat Nguyen are other coaches who's contracts are up after this playoff run.

"With the success, those guys will and have more opportunities but all of them really have grown we think into significant contributors," Jerry Jones said. "You know Wes Phillips and Dat, they’re young coaches but they’ve really progressed under Wade [Phillips]. Of course, Maxie is someone we think a lot of."

What???? I don't think Gratham going to a college team would have been held up because of an NFL contract.

No mention of Wade Phillips?

I hope Dat stays.

I hope Wade Wilson goes.

 

[CoCo]

No mention of Wade Phillips?

Cause he has that option year in his current deal.

One of the things I like about Jones is he will not be upset if a coach leaves. he understands that these coaches have better opportunities else where and will help them all he could. I admire that in him.
