Jerry Jones hints about T.O.'s future; also names a defensive coordinator for the Cowboys

and the cowboys are better for it, at least for one more year.

on the DC position, Wade will have his hands full, but ultimately it will only benefit the team. continuity is important and importing a DC would only hinder the defense’s progress.

hope Wade can handle the load. Him having control of the D again excites me, but I hope he doesn’t get burnt out.

All the “proud old school, Landry was God” fans will be out with pickets.

I Jerry Jones am now the Owner, GM and HC.

Wade is my Defensive Coordinator. Garret my OC.

Wade becoming the DC is awesome but can he handle all the duties he has to?

And all we will do is run screen plays and reverses.

I’ll be the new rage.

I think Wade can handle it. Just get someone like Sparano was for Parcells— a position coach who also helps out with the defensive scheming, in-game adjustments, and limited play calling.

Hey, he learned something from Parcells.

This HC/DC combo does not suit Wade. The man is a superb defensive mind, but he is not the man to set the tone for this team’s play. Garrett is still learning the OC position and without a promotion has no real authority over the players.

This leaves a power vacuum, which is being filled by…Jerry Jones. I think we are severely underestimating the difference a real Head Coach could make with this team.

Thats a lot to take on for a whole season. It looks like this is really a co-head coach situation between he and Garrett.

Well I’m pretty much tired of talking, typing and thinking about T.O. so I’ll let it rest. But as far as Wade being the defensive coordinator, it’s pretty much the same as the second half of last season but my guess is the assistant coaches will take on more responsibilities. Plus everyone knows how this team’s coaching staff works. Wade does the defense, Garrett does the offense, and Jerry does everything else. So to me this is no big surprise, or a big deal.

Maybe Garrett has to assume a bigger role, I’m not sure…yikes….lol

This is Jerry trying his best to set up the possibility of Wade accepting a relegation to DC after next year. I think It’s quite remote, but this might be a precursor.

that Jerry didn’t say “Yes! T.O. is coming back.” Remember a couple of years back when Parcells walked? There were questions about if T.O. would be brought back due to the type of contract he signed. And Jerry came out and said “YES, HE WILL BE BACK.” So until I hear Jerry say he is coming back, I’m going to assume T.O. is gone. But, thats just my take.

JerrySpeak means nothing. We’ll see what happens when the Draft approaches.

atleast we know jerry is concentrating on a new backup qb

I told you that Wade will be our DC this season, I mean it was the only logical conclusion as Wade was initially hired to run the defense so Jerry told him, “I hired you to run the defense, so run the damn defense!”

As far as Grizz’s concern about being HC and DC will be too much for Wade, I disagree because we know Wade is HC in name only, we all know who really runs this team. ;)

Brady ran around missing tackles and not understanding the positions. He also was moved from OLB to ILB.

There are a lot of similarities. I know many among us were ready to be rid of Bradie James. However, he turned the corner and he also put in time in the weight room. He regularly recieved accolades from BP about his progress in the weight room and work ethic overall.

Perhaps this is the year BC turns the corner. He was a first round draft pick from THE Ohio State University.

Hopefully he cracks more than the special teams lineup and makes a difference.

opportunity comes along.

Joe Gibbs never had an offensive coordinator when he went on his hall of fame run in the 80’s. He spent 95% of his time working with the offense, essentially operating as that team’s offensive coordinator and he left all the defensive duties to his D- coordinator, Richie Pettibone. The Redskins won 3 super bowls operating things this way.

The Cowboys are looking to accomplish the reverse of that, having their head coach operate as the team’s defensive coordinator and I, for one, am glad. The defense looked the best it has in years when he was game planning and play calling for that group. They already have a new special teams coach to improve that segment of the team so now all they need is for Garrett to hold up his end and this team will be just fine, (if healthy).
