On Wednesday it was reported that Mike McCarthy was set to hire Skip Peete as the new running backs coach for the Cowboys. Peete, who has spent the last four seasons in the same role with the Rams, was also the Cowboys running backs coach from 2007 to 2012.
Many fans were hoping Gary Brown might return to the team, and others were intrigued by Stan Drayton, current running backs coach at Texas who also worked with Ezekiel Elliott at Ohio State. But in the end, McCarthy went with Peete, a name that’s familiar to many in the Dallas area.
