The Dallas Cowboys announced Mike McCarthy as their new head coach Tuesday afternoon, and the former Green Bay Packers head coach is already fast at work customizing his new staff.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, John Fassel is expected to be hired as the Cowboys special teams coordinator. The 45-year-old has served as the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams special teams coordinator since 2012, most notably helping the team reach the Super Bowl last season.
Pelissero noted that Fassel's contract has expired with the Rams.
"#Cowboys owner Jerry Jones once said, 'Special teams is a total reflection of coaching,'" NFL Network's Ian Rapoport added.
