It seems that the Cowboys and I have something in common the last couple of weeks. We’ve both been pretty busy. Me, I’ve got a new gig taking up a lot of my time.

The Cowboys haven’t been so lucky. They’ve seen assistant after assistant head out the door, mostly going down to Miami to reunite with Parcells. They’ve also made some interesting hires to replace them.

Can you believe Dave Campo is coming back? I think that was a great hire. Campo may not have been a great head coach — though I think he was in one of those tough-to-succeed positions — but he’s always been a great defensive coach. Having him coach the secondary might be a very good thing.

And the rumor goes that Don Capers might be signing soon. That would be another good hire, though you have to wonder what the Cowboys will do with so many former head coaches working as assistants.

But the key is, you don’t get to try out the head coaching ranks without being a very good position coach and/or coordinator. These guys should be solid replacements.
