Signed by Cowboys Report: Cowboys hiring George Edwards

[DuncanIso]

Two DC's again. Fun.

Nolan isnt much of a DC.

Edwards is elite.

 

[Direwolf63]

This is a very good hire.

Overall, I am very pleased with the staff McCarthy has put together. It's not perfect, but in it's entirety it's pretty good. Tons of experience, head coaching and otherwise.

You can tell Jerry has let McCarthy hire his own staff without his fingerprints all over it.

 

[Carson]

Can he bring linval Joseph and Everson griffen as well?

 

[DuncanIso]

Very happy to hear this news. I think this team needed more established, experienced coaches on defense and they now have that in spades. It's still my biggest concern, but seeing the staff McCarthy has assembled makes me feel a bit better about it.

Hiring Edwards is a huge upgrade.

I think Nolan is a mistake.

Maybe seconds thoughts in Dallas about Nolan???

 

[D4KADON]

Just terrible.

If this team were to win a super bowl, you'd find a way to hate it as well.

 

[AsthmaField]

Terrific coach. Great hire.

 

[DuncanIso]

Some similarities to Richard when we hired him. Fired Defensive coordinator from a pretty good defensive team hired as a position coach but with bigger responsibilities.

Make Edwards the DC.

Nolan can run the LBs.

Nothing is set in stone.

 

[DuncanIso]

Terrific coach. Great hire.

Agree 100 percent!

 

[CowboyJ70]

let Nolan run the LBs and hire Edwards to be the DC.

This^ is the way I would have liked it to begin with.

Dude, seriously. Obsessed much? You've "made your point" about your disdain for Nolan about 500,000 times.

Now is the time to move on.

Everyone knows your opinion of him, no reason to state and restate and reiterate the statement on every single page of every single post.

Remember when Washington had two offensive coordinators and two defensive coordinators. That didn't work out so well. Might be a case where there are too many Chiefs and not enough ...er sailors.

I don't think I'd call it "second thoughts", especially when Nolan was McCarthy's very first hire and was saying goodbyes in New Orleans the second McCarthy was announced for the job. Remember, they're tight from their San Fran days when it was Nolan hiring McCarthy. I just think that they know a good coach when they see one and feel that you can never have too many good ones on staff. I see it as another plus.

 

[Oneiros]

Great hire!

 

[DJordan23]

I'm just excited they identify that the defense was a real problem for this team. Hopefully the ST situation is squared away with "Bones"...I mean, they could of hired me for the ST job and it would have been an upgrade from what was there.

 

[Aven8]

Keeps getting better every day folks. Man TC will be fun this year!

 

[3rd_n_inches]

let Nolan run the LBs and hire Edwards to be the DC.

Have both of them stand next to each other in synch calling plays to throw the opposing coaches off.

 

[gjkoeppen]

George Edwards was with the Cowboys in the late 90's early 2000's as a LB coach.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Maybe someone at the Star finally googled Nolan's coaching history.

He does seem far more qualified than Nolan.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Just terrible.

@Alexander disagrees.
