Dallas Cowboys: upheaval in Texas – five assistant coaches have to go

The Dallas Cowboys’ season failed in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Now a major shake-up is taking place within the team and the Texans are ending their relationship with five assistant coaches.

The Dallas Cowboys’ season seemed more promising than it had in a long time. But in the NFL Divisional Round, their hopes of a sixth Super Bowl appearance came to an end. Mike McCarthy’s team lost to the strong San Francisco 49ers with 12:19.

This now brings harsh consequences. The Dallas team is parting ways with five assistant coaches after the playoff exit.

Umbreakdown at the Dallas Cowboys

“I can confirm that the Cowboys are firing running backs coach Skip Peete and senior defensive assistant George Edwards, who coached the linebackers. Mike McCarthy is making changes,” Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter Clarance Hill Jr. said on Twitter.

He also believes Peete’s dismissal will have financial implications for running back Ezekiel Elliott. The latter signed a $90 million, six-year contract in 2019.

Next season, Elliott will enter the first year of his new contract with no guarantees on his salary. According to consistent media reports, Elliott would even be willing to take a pay cut to stay with the Cowboys. Most recently, he had to share snaps with Tony Pollard, but he broke his leg in the loss to the 49ers.

Also three other assistant coaches no longer part of Cowboys

In addition, a new assistant will be alongside Mike McCarthy in the new season. In addition to Peete and Edwards, the Cowboys will also part ways with assistant head coach Rob Davis.

America’s Team” is also expected to make changes to the defensive line and offensive line in the offseason. The first steps have now been taken. According to Todd Archer of “ESPN”, the Cowboys have decided not to work with defensive line coach Leon Lett and offensive line coach Joe Philbin in the coming season.

The Cowboys still have a little more than seven months before the new season begins. It will be interesting to see what will happen with the team around McCarthy.
