Another Cowboys staffer joins the Dolphins

The Cowboys lost another staffer Saturday, but it wasn’t Tony Sparano or Jason Garrett.

Assistant director of pro scouting Brian Gaine, in his third season with the Cowboys, left the team to join the Miami Dolphins’ scouting department.
Gaine followed former Cowboys vice president of college and pro scouting Jeff Ireland, who became the Dolphins’ general manager on Wednesday.

When Cowboys owner Jerry Jones allowed Bill Parcells, the Dolphins new vice president of football operations, to hire Ireland, he did so with the understanding that the Dolphins might come after Sparano, but Jones expected his scouting department to remain intact.

He even said the presence of Gaine and assistant director of college scouting Tom Ciskowski would allow the team to move on without Ireland. But that changed when Gaine asked to join Parcells and Ireland in Miami.

According to a source, a frustrated Jones granted Gaine his wish Friday.

Sparano, the Cowboys’ assistant head coach/ offensive line coach, interviewed with the Dolphins and Ravens on Saturday for their vacant head coaching positions. Sparano, who joined the Cowboys in 2003, is believed to be the front-runner for the Dolphins job.

Garrett, the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator, also interviewed with Baltimore on Saturday, a day after Garrett and Sparano each met with the Atlanta Falcons about their vacant head-coaching position.

*smh* @ Jones getting owned again. This hell is never gonna end.

So, Big Bill builds up the Cowboys, and then raids them. How much did JJ pay BP over the years?

 

[Dave_in-NC]

And now Miami is paying him. It sucks but it's his job.

 

[Big Dakota]

Jones better start paying his people more. Why would they want to go to that garbage team other than money or they don't like Jerry?

Maybe they made him Head of Personnel or something? Just guessing.

Or they like walking on egg shells

:shoot2: :dolphins:

JJ better start retaliating

 

[lspain1]

I guessed the off-season was going to be tough on the Cowboys...but I may have underestimated how bad it was going to be.

This is a full fledged raid....and we're just getting started.

:laugh2: That little statement doesn't seem to hold water at this point. Ireland, probably Sporano, this scout, and maybe Bowles. Ya, they hated Tuna.

 

[noletime95]

This bothers me more than losing Ireland, because now I believe there is no end in site.......BP is going to raid this organization for all its worth. Dallas is in trouble...........big trouble........

I hate to think about it but some players will most likely be next. Bet they hated him too.

This is were we see were Jerry is at being a new style GM.

Me thinks Jerry was the only one "walking around on eggshells"

 

[Cajuncowboy]

It will end for a while after today.

This is the only week teams can interview our staff for any positions until we are out of the playoffs. And if we make the run deep and when we get to the Super Bowl then some of those positions will be filled.

BTW, this is just a guess but I think the new coach in Miami will be Charlie Wies.

 

[WoodysGirl]

It's one thing for them to go after players. It's another to go after the talent that scouts those players.

I think Gaine leaving is just as big a blow as Ireland.

Dude, have you ever been to Miami ?

 

[panchucko]

BP is just pissed that the team he built is doing so good, and he isn't getting credit
Jerry better get on the phone with Wayne huzinga(SP) have him stop BP before we no staff at all.

 

[The Panch]

What's funny is how bad Jerry's being played. He kept saying in interviews him and Parcells are still friends and he's realizing its never gonna end.
