Jeff Nixon to interview with Cowboys for OC opening

[cowboys5xsbs]

Panthers actually did a really good job with all their backs this year I wouldn't mind this at all

They have to follow the "Rooney Rule" on every hire or face the wrath of the NFL bosses.

So he's not qualified to be an offensive coordinator? Just because he's a minority that's the only reason he's getting a look?

I think the point some are trying to make isn't about the OC himself but rather that Dallas probably has a guy in mind already and they are just doing this to satisfy the rule.

Personally, I hope a guy like Nixon is a real target. I think bringing in a run minded OC to work with McCarthy would be our best option with Dak at this point.

BS… Reid can’t get rid of him fast enough. No one else wanted him last year when his contract expired w/KC, but Reid rehired him as a face-saving move for Bienemy!!

How do you know this? Listen to how much sense that made....Reid can't rid of him fast enough. BUT REID REHIRED HIM... You can't make this stuff up. Not only that, they've been to the SB how many times since he's been OC?

Yep. I believe Rhule got fired after the 5th game. Over the remaining 11 games, they had 7 where they rushed for more than 150 yards, including a 223 yard game against Seattle, a 232 yard game against Atlanta and a 320 yard game against the Lions. There were a couple clunkers in there though like a 21 yard game against the Steelers and a 36 yard game against the Ravens.

With very little passing threat!

run minded OC

Think there's something to that.

I for one would only amend that to say we should start calling the position an OC*... using an asterisk to denote it's really not a conventional OC.

 

[Sheepherder]

And that running game is the reason why he’s getting interviewed and Moore isn’t here anymore. They realize they need help in that area.

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

Oh yeah. Let's assume he's not qualified right off the bat.

Bingo !!!!!

 

[ESisback]

This team has ZERO idea where it's going.....

I disagree. They want a better running game. Tag Pollard, Cut Zeke, Draft what’s-his-name from Texas, pick a good WR in FA, draft another, bring in an OL Coach whose specialty is aggression—sounds like a plan.

Of course, it’s easier to be all Eeyore…

 

[PAPPYDOG]

I don't know how to feel about this.

Perfect "Patsy"

 

[Sarge]

Championship!

 

[Cowpolk]

Good deal. If he gets the job, it will give posters someone else to bash instead of KMoore.

It's a coming

 

[Sheepherder]

Get ready for Robinson or Gibbs in the first.

Well look at it this way. If they draft one of these guys, Zeke will probably be gone. And if that happens, Dak will probably ask to get traded because Zeke is his best friend.

 

[quickccc]

Pollard should not be back. Sorry we don’t need anymore injured running backs

can you name ANY starting RB in the NFL who has not been injured ..?

 

[Doomsday77]

Championship!

I would really like to know who coined this reply on this forum. You could literally respond with this to every OP. Awesome!! I'm not a troll I just play one on TV

 

[mrmojo]

I am not a crook......one of many interviews I hope

 

[Whyjerry]

huh? Never heard of him.

The Jones boys dumpster diving

 

[diamonddelts]

Rooney rule

Funny how you wouldn't say that if he looked like most retreaded coaches in the NFL. This comment makes me sick.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Yep. The Panthers were a true offensive juggernaut last year.

Their running game was no joke............I would love for us to implement their blocking scheme.

 

[Beast_from_East]

All I know after Rhule was released was Carolina’s running game became a force. That’s why they almost won the South.

They would have won the South but they lost their corners to injury and had to start some practice squad guys against Brady...................it did not end well, Brady torched them.
