Cowboys offense can evolve without total overhaul of schematic philosophy

The Cowboys may be looking for a new way of formulating their offensive plan but that doesn’t mean they are going to completely overhaul their philosophies. Scott Linehan wasn’t let go because of the scheme, he was let go because he lacked the ability to evolve the scheme. There are a lot of coaches in the NFL that are praised for their play-calling innovation but the Andy Reid’s and Sean McVay’s of the world are not creating new schematic philosophies from scratch. They are extending and adding to their playbooks, it’s simple evolution. Bill Belichick, arguably the greatest coach ever, has mastered that ability to evolve from year-to-year, even game-to-game, it’s the biggest edge the Patriots have, besides Tom Brady.
