New Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy seems adamant about adding some 49ers flavor to his new coaching staff in Dallas.
Even before the Cowboys officially announced their new coaching hire, word already was spreading that McCarthy was targeting former 49ers head coach Mike Nolan as his defensive coordinator. Nolan, who has served as the New Orleans' Saints linebackers coach for the last three seasons, previously hired McCarthy to be his offensive coordinator for the 2005 season with San Francisco.
Nolan still is wrapping up his duties with the Saints, but if and when he makes the move to Dallas, there reportedly might be another familiar face in the Cowboys' building.
