Twitter: Jason Simmons interviews for DC

[Risen Star]

He seems like a nice, friendly man.

Who do guys want. I just listened to Tom Downey and his two top choices are retread ex head coaches Gus Bradley and Dan Quinn. Two defenses that were just as bad as the Cowboys this season. Bradley actually had more talent and the defense still sucked. I don’t think it will matter who the coach is.

 

[JPM]

The Pizza delivery boy is after Nooch.

The guy in the stall next to him will be after that.

 

[Sydla]

I like this guy more than Whitt.

 

[817Gill]

I would relax about these interviews now.

We likely aren’t going to sign a DC until after the super bowl concludes and we interview as many as possible.

This is likely Mike just helping his former guys getting looks

What I was thinking

Man jerry must love MM to be so patient with him and his coordinators pick . The journey is still short but it may be an ugly long one for cowboy fans . MM has not done anything yet to convince or impress . His legacy may be tied to a super bowl with a top HOF QB .

 

[Floatyworm]

I worry McCarthy will start looking towards Nickelodeon for his next coordinator.

 

[DuncanIso]

This is not going well....

......McCarthy is quickly burning his bridges. So far every move he's made and considered.... are trash. Just about to the point he's part of the problem too...

This seems like an overreaction to a new staff with no offseason, a lost franchise QB and historic levels of OL, Secondary and DT injuries. Not to mention a defensive staff that failed in nearly every regard. Maybe we should wait to see how the second season goes.

As far as the defensive coordinator search goes... I’m not thrilled so far with the candidates, but I do think there will be a lot of interviews before a decision is made.

I’ll be honest after looking at his resume I would like this hire. He has a big eye for talent. I’m sure he had some kind of say so with the Packers drafting Alexander and Savage and the Panthers drafting Chinn and Troy Pride. All 4 have been good players. His trajectory is pointing upwards. I wish we would’ve hired this guy instead of AL Harris for secondary coach.

Hell.. I drafted Derrick Brown and Jeremy Chinn in our mock draft last year for the Panthers...I guess I'm qualified for an interview.

 

[charron]

So two no names in a way from secondary coaches to DC. Whitt and Simmons. Is that an indication they want secondary experience to redo the secondary, and will target S and CB in the draft.

Yes it is a reach but just throwing it out there.

But they kept our secondary coaches. When the report came out that Brandon Carr had issues with a DB coach I for sure thought one of both would be fired.

For me, if Matt Rhule likes him, that goes a long way because Rhule knows football. I think he’s a great coach.

Yea I was just reading up on him. So what scheme would he install? Panthers were a 4-3 last year

You know more than the front office.

Was it a secondary coach and not Nolan? Confirmed?

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

He helped run a 3-4 in GB. Carolina ran a 4-3 but he was only the passing game Coordinator and secondary coach. I think it would be a guess at this point.

 

[cowboyec]

well....at least its not anyone he knows so that should make people happy.
because...for heaven's sake...you can't build a staff with people you are familiar with.

 

[cowboyec]

More nepotism

no such thing.
