There is churn among the position coaches every year on almost every team across the league. But could the churn in Dallas be a little higher than normal this year?
Since 2013, the Cowboys have had a fairly stable coaching staff, the departure of Bill Callahan, erstwhile Offensive Coordinator, notwithstanding. One reason for that is the stellar 2014 season, after which the Cowboys didn't see much need for change. But that may change this year.
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 (2) Offensive Coordinator | Rod Marinelli (3) Defensive Coordinator | Rich Bisaccia (3) Special teams |
Gary Brown (3) Running backs | Jerome Henderson (4) Secondary | Keith O'Quinn (6) Assistant Special Teams |
Derek Dooley (3) Wide receivers | Joe Baker (4) Safeties | Mike Woicik (5) Strength and conditioning |
Wade Wilson (9) Quarterbacks | Matt Eberflus (5) Linebackers | Brett Bech (5) Assistant S&C |
Frank Pollack (3) Offensive line | Leon Lett (5) Defensive Tackles | Kendall Smith (2) Assistant S&C |
Mike Pope (2) Tight ends | Ben Bloom (5) Defensive Ends | If you look at the numbers closely, you'll that the Cowboys have updated their coaching staff in waves. |
