SEATTLE -- Kris Richard has only been with the Cowboys for a few months.
That makes his influence all the more impressive.
Richard approaches his job with an evangelical fervor that's impossible to ignore. Whether he's lacing up his cleats to run with the players or making an introductory speech to the team that ends in applause, he makes an impression.
Players gravitate toward the Cowboys defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator. His charisma is intoxicating.
There's a presence to Richard that should accelerate his drive to become a head coach, a status linebacker Sean Lee is convinced Richard will hold one day.
