Source: Campo a possibility to be Cowboys’ secondary coach
By CLARENCE E. HILL, JR.chill@star-telegram.com
The more things change.....well, you know the rest.
And when it comes to the Cowboys and hiring assistant coaches, it appears to be business as usual.
Despite owner Jerry Jones’ comments last week that the team’s three assistant coaching openings will give coach Wade Phillips a chance to hire coaches in line with his philosophy, it still doesn’t hurt to be in line with Jones’ philosophy.
According to a source, the Cowboys have requested and received permission to speak to Jaguars assistant Dave Campo about Dallas’ vacant secondary coaching position.
Campo’s possible return to Dallas comes five years after he was fired as head coach following three straight 5-11 seasons. Campo was the defensive coordinator in Cleveland in 2003 before spending the past four years in Jacksonville as assistant head coach/secondary.
He is available because the Jaguars have hired Donnie Abraham to coach the secondary.
Campo has proven to be a capable secondary coach. He was the Cowboys’ secondary coach on the 1992 and 1993 Super Bowl teams before serving as defensive coordinator from 1994-1999.
However, his possible hiring seemingly contradicts Phillips’ plans.
According to sources, Phillips attended the Senior Bowl last week looking for secondary coach who has experience in the 3-4 defense.
Campo, who came to Dallas with Jimmy Johnson in 1989, has always been a 4-3 coach.
If the Cowboys hire Campo, it will leave one position to fill — linebackers coach.
Expect that hire to be in line with Phillips’ philosophy because that position’s importance to the 3-4 defense.
The team hired former Browns defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, who has experience with the 3-4, to coach the defensive line last week.
