Excerpts...
"It looks like Richard is building an all-new mini-Legion in Dallas. And Marinelli has been quick to give him credit for it, calling Richard the Cowboys' "best pick" of the season in December.
"Everything he does I admire," Marinelli said of Richard, per Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "The loyalty, the work ethic, the intelligence, the teaching, the inspiring—it's special. It's fun to come to work every day when you are around good people. He's a special coach.""
...
"It appears Richard will remain in Dallas as a top lieutenant. Head coach Jason Garrett is reportedly up for an extension, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, despite an offense that moves the ball in lurches and spurts and is likely to get much more expensive—quarterback Dak Prescott and receiver Amari Cooper are due for contract extensions soon—before it gets any better.
"In other words, another coach is benefiting from Richard's work again. That sort of thing never happens to the NFL's young quarterback-guru darlings."
...
"Kris Richard will be a great head coach once the NFL's obsession with offensive wunderkinds ends and teams realize that coaches who have proved they can stop those offenses—and manage the strong personalities needed to stop those offenses—are in very short supply.
"For now, Richard must watch and wait while yet another coach reaps the reward for his efforts."
