Source: Campo a possibility to be Cowboys’ secondary coach

Like others have said good position coach terrible HC.

A Jerry/Jason Guy. Not a Wade Guy.

Has a former head coach for a team ever "come home again" and coach as an assistant?

Gunther Cunningham of KC.

With Thomas, Thurman, and Gray apparently not available afterall, I doubt this is necessarily Jerry meddling. It could be Phillips is just looking for the best available and Campo may very well be that guy.

If that is the case, why haven't we bothered to ask for permission to speak with any of the others? I don't think the Commanders have locked up Gray.

Sorry, this obviously isn't a Wade Phillips decision any more than hiring Houck again was.

 

[Bach]

jerry needs to let his head coach get his own assistants.

Nah. All GM's hire the staff for their HC. :laugh2:

Never under estimate the power of the mad poodle, he may be using a jedi mind trick on Wade. :laugh2:

If Emmitt Thomas was available guess who the seconday coach would be? HINT: Not Dave Campo

We did ask for permission to interview Thomas. It was denied. Not sure about the others.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

it would be a good hire, I know everyone is leary because of the fiasco the Cowboys were when he was HC, but this is very different

Deon Grant and Rashean Mathis had their best years w/ him coaching them

Yeah, and I would have had no problem with that.

This is just a bit surreal.

I'm not sure how to react.

Dead on. People are going to scream because they remember Campo the HC, not Campo the coordinator.

Fear and nausea are perfectly appropriate.

Those were first.

 

[bbgun]

Wade and Campo, huh? If they can wrangle Rich Kotite, we'll have a veritable Mount Rushmore of coaches on our hands.

See, I remember Campo the coach that Jimmy Johnson used to pat on the head and made his personal whipping boy.

He held eleven jobs in 18 years before he became Dallas head coach. Two more in the four years after he was fired (Cleveland, Jacksonville). That's thirteen jobs in 22 years. There is a reason for that.

You would think Cowboys fans would actually show some respect for a guy that helped us win three Super Bowls as an assistant. I guess thats too much to ask.

And the same coaches and players that worked with Campo praise his work and if Jimmy didn't think he was a good coach he wouldn't have kept him either. I think the news of Campo being Jimmys whipping boy says a lot more about Jimmy than it does about Campo. Thirteen jobs in 22 years is the life of a football coach.

Look at what he did with marginal talent like Larry Brown and Mario Edwards while he was here.

If he is so great as a secondary coach, why does he always keep a bag packed?

You would think he'd have done enough to at least make the Jaguars consider promoting him now they've lost their defensive coordinator. They aren't.

Maybe we can look into hiring Barry Switzer as the LB coach. I hear he's available.
