This marks the first draft class under Jason Garrett, and it’ll be highlighted by Tyron Smith, OT, USC. Here’s the draft class top to bottom: April 28-30, 2011 (Garrett) 1 | 9  Tryon Smith, OT, USC 2 | 40  Bruce Carter, LB, North Carolina 3 | 71  DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma 4 | 110  David Arkin, OG, Missouri St 5 | 143  Josh Thomas, CB, Buffalo 6 | 176  Dwayne

We’re in the heading into the homestretch and the question remains; Who Will the Cowboys draft? Not only do all the fans want to know who we’re drafting, but they absolutely know that the brain trust must hit on their draft picks. To me, the first three picks should be immediate contributors. I got together with my message board moderators and surveyed them on who they

The rumor is now official, Brian Baker has accepted the defensive line job offered to him by the Cowboys. This is a very very nice addition to the defensive coaching squad, I like this move coupled with the hiring of Rob Ryan. Watch out. The Dallas Cowboys have hired Brian Baker as their defensive line coach. Darin Gantt of the Charlotte Observer reports that Baker, who was with

The rumor mills are blowing up on the latest news that the Cowboys have made an offer to N.C. Tarheels Dline coach Brian Baker. Baker comes with a whole load of great NFL coaching experience, and if snagged into Dallas this could be a very nice addition. Baker worked as the defensive line coach while with the Carolina Panthers since 2009. Soon after the season ended and Fox was

As expected, the Cowboys are wasting no time and continue to piece together their staffs on both side’s of the ball. Today the Cowboys hired Matt Eberflus to coach the linebackers. Rob Ryan worked with Eberflus while in Cleveland. Next news should be the hiring of a defensive line coach and hopefully a secondary coach. Share

Wade Phillips has snagged up Reggie Herring to Houston, its official. I fully expect secondary coaches Brett Maxie and Dave Campo to be relieved of their duties as well. The secondary played their worst football in several seasons, and a fresh start could be just what the doctor ordered. I don’t think anyone is surprised Herring is gone, but everyone SHOULD definitely expect

In all the excitement of Rob Ryan becoming Dallas’ next defensive coordinator there also comes the reality that this could be a one year stint. Rob Ryan has great ambitions of becoming a head coach, and if anyone wants to get noticed, you sign with Dallas.Period. I see this marriage more of a stepping stone than anything long-term. The Cowboys will need to work closely with

Take another defensive coach off the market, Paul Pasqualoni signed with UConn. The Cowboys have completed interviews with Vic Fangio and Greg Munusky, Fangio is officially off the market by signing on with 49ers, and Manusky is likely to sign with the Chargers. I think Garrett’s being very strategic in the search, he’s getting his feet wet handling the interviews, and

The Cowboys are wasting no time and have begun to schedule interviews for the defensive coordinator position. One thing is clear, the Cowboys are sticking with the 3-4. There will be no move back to the 4-3, so those ideas can be squashed today. The Cowboys interviewed Dom Caper’s protegé Vic Fangio and this shows the Cowboys are looking for an attacking scheme, and if you

The NFL has announced the next round of players making it to the NFL Hall of Fame. Among the finalists are Deion Sanders and Charles Haley. Sanders should be a first ballot hall of famer for all his shutdown talent, among his on field play, Sanders is credited with really moving cornerbacks into the upper echelon in regards to getting paid. Haley is one of the fiercest pass rushers

The next goal of the Dallas Cowboys should be the locking down of a defensive coordinator. Once Garrett was made the head coach, it was believed we’d be hearing Miami’s Todd Bowles would likely end up being the next announcement, but that looks to be on the backburner right now. If the Cowboys wanted Bowles they could probably make it happen; however, this has not happened. Who

We have all seen the miraculous turnaround the Cowboys have made under Jason Garrett’s command, and if the team continues on this path, I’d expect Jerry to remove the interim title and make him the new head coach for 2011 and beyond. I don’t think there’s any question, Garrett has changed the culture and its paying off bigtime. Looking ahead, if Garrett becomes
