The Dallas Cowboys have had a fairly stable - some might say, unusually stable - coaching staff for the last four to five years. One reason for that are the stellar 2014 and 2016 seasons, after which the Cowboys didn't see much need for change. But interspersed between those two standout seasons are two disappointing seasons in 2015 and 2017 that have got to have the front office wondering if coaching continuity is the right approach.
Here's an overview of the current coaching staff, with each coach's tenure with the team indicated behind his name.
Offensive Coaches | Defensive Coaches | Specialty Coaches |
Scott Linehan (4) Offensive Coordinator | Rod Marinelli (5) Defensive Coordinator | Rich Bisaccia (5) Special teams |
Gary Brown (5) Running backs | Joe Baker (6) Secondary | Keith O'Quinn (8) Assistant Special Teams |
Derek Dooley (5) Wide receivers | Greg Jackson (2) Safeties | Mike Woicik (7) Strength and conditioning |
Wade Wilson (11) Quarterbacks | Matt Eberflus (7) Passing Game Coordinator/ Linebackers | Brett Bech (7) Assistant S&C |
Frank Pollack (5) Offensive line | Leon Lett (7) Defensive Tackles | Kendall Smith (4) Assistant S&C |
Steve Loney (3) Tight ends | Ben Bloom (7) Special Projects If you look at the numbers closely, you'll see that most of the coaches have been with the team since at least 2014, and many of them span almost the entire Garrett head coaching era. |
