REEVES TO DALLAS LOOKS TO BE A DONE DEAL

Posted by Mike Florio on January 28, 2009, 5:45 p.m.


One of the great things about Radio Row is that the room attracts plenty of people who have access to plenty of NFL rumors.


And though this one isn’t much of a shock, we’ve heard enough to conclude that Dan Reeves will very soon be joining the Dallas Cowboys as a Bill Parcells or Floyd Reese-style consultant.


Chris Mortensen of ESPN first reported the possible move earlier this week.
It doesn’t mean that the Cowboys will fire coach Wade Phillips, especially since Phillips and Reeves have worked together extensively in the past.
It also doesn’t mean that owner Jerry Jones will listen to anything that Reeves has to say, if it conflicts in any way with that which Jones already wants to hear.

One thing about Reeves he is not a Lacewell a yes man and a buddy. Reeves was a good coach a really good coach he may not have won a superbowl but he has been to what 4 of them with two teams

heck he got the Falcons there with Chris Chandler as the QB

 

[Yoshimitsu]

Now i feel hopeful for the upcoming season.

 

[IndianaCowboyFan]

Plus he commands and deserves respect.

Nine when you count as a player!

And BTW, Galloway was saying this appears to be done, too. He just had on Gil Lebreton who did the Reeves article in the FWST... It almost sounds like he's friends with Dan. Maybe so -- Gil has been around here a long time now.

I don't see how people can say nothing has changed at VR. Two coordinators fired, one high-profile problem player cut, and a very respected consultant brought in. Plus no speaking from Jerry and co.

Whatever the role is, I think its a positive move.

It will be interesting to see what plays out with this though.

 

[theebs]

I am curious what his role will be exactly.

And oh boy I hope this is another voice that can convince jerry to clean the locker room.

 

[BulletBob]

Whew!

I thought you meant JAQUES Reeves!

:nana:

 

[CF74]

Hooray!!! Now we can add page # 2, 3, 4, 5, .... to Garrett's play book!!!:lombardi:

I like the way you feel.

 

[dbair1967]

I like the way you feel.

Just because you are a bitter old hag, don't even think about ruining it for the rest of us. :

The no speaking thing has been great. But I like the Dan Reeves hire. He's the football guy they need around the ranch. Now if Jerry could just let his ego go and make him GM . . .
