A breakdown of the Cowboys new defensive staff featuring former head coach, Jim Tomsula.
One of McCarthy’s most exciting hires was his selection of Jim Tomsula as defensive line coach.
Throughout his time with Washington and San Francisco, Tomsula has developed a reputation as one of the best defensive line coaches in the NFL. Most of his experience came with teams with a 3-4 base defense, but he should have no problem transitioning to a 4-3 base.
Tomsula has a long resume of developing effective and production defensive linemen.
While in San Francisco (2007-15), Tomsula deserved a ton of credit for helping turn Justin Smith into one of the most dominant defensive linemen in the game.
