Dallas Cowboys Update: Flozell Adams Returns

It was not that long ago that the sports betting world remembers offensive lineman Flozell Adams being the scapegoat for the Dallas Cowboys’ problems on the offensive line. Now with Adams a part of the Superbowl betting equation, the fact that this particular Super Bowl is being played in Dallas seems to be a sports betting bonus for Adams.

When Flozell Adams met with the media on Monday to kick off Super Bowl week for the media, it was obvious that he was having a hard time containing his excitement. Adams said all of the politically correct things, including tipping his hat to the quality of the Cowboys organization. Adams went so far as to say that it didn’t matter where the Super Bowl was being played, just so long as he was in it. But with each question he answered about the opportunity to play in front of the Dallas Cowboys fans as a member of the reigning AFC champions, it was getting harder and harder for Adams to hide his joy.

The new Dallas Cowboys coaching staff under Jason Garrett continues to take form, especially on the defensive side of the ball. New Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has named Matt Eberflus as linebackers coach. Anyone familiar with Rob Ryan will not be surprised by this hiring as Eberflus was the linebackers coach for two years under Ryan in Cleveland. Read more

Dallas Cowboys Update: The New Coaching Staff Takes Shape

The sports wagering sites have been monitoring the Dallas Cowboys front office ever since Jason Garrett was hired as the new Cowboys head coach. The NFL football betting crowd is wondering who Garrett will choose for his defensive coordinator and what other changes will be made to the Cowboys coaching staff. After a couple of weeks, the sportsbook promo crowd got their answers, and it is a very interesting story brewing in Valley Ranch.

The Dallas Cowboys have announced that Rob Ryan, brother of New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan and son to legendary defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan, has taken the defensive coordinator’s job in Dallas. The betting services consider this a curious move by Ryan because, for all intents and purposes, it is a lateral move.

Rob Ryan taking the job in Dallas has two immediate effects. It puts a bit of a dent in the notion that Mike Holmgren is going to attract top flight coaching talent just by being in Cleveland. It is possible that Holmgren allowed Ryan to leave the Browns because Holmgren does not feel that Ryan is the right guy for the job in Cleveland. But neither side is saying much about the move. The other effect of this Rob Ryan move is to elevate the feeling that a coaching job in Dallas is the job that every NFL coach wants. It adds a bit of muster to that Cowboys mystique that owner Jerry Jones is so fond of.

Dallas Cowboys Update: Jerry Jones Finally Hires a Coach

Dallas Cowboys Update: Jerry Jones Finally Hires a Coach

The online sports betting world wants to be surprised at the fact that Jerry Jones finally hired Jason Garrett as the full-time Dallas Cowboys head coach, but the NFL football betting world has been back and forth on this for so long that most people are just glad it is over.

The Cowboys are not part of the Super Bowl betting frenzy, but they did make the news by finally announcing that Jason Garrett will have the interim tag removed from his title and be made the new head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. The betting services, and Jason Garrett, all know that the performance of the team under Garrett will be compared to the team’s performance under such coaches as Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson and not Wade Philips. Garrett knows that he must do significantly better than Philips if he wants to keep his job for more than two season.

When Jerry Jones was making the official announcement late last week, he indicated that it was the abrupt turn-around of the team once Garrett took over that convinced him that he has his coach. Garrett has already started to hire his staff and has indicated that he will have no off-season. Garrett has been charged with creating a Super Bowl team in Dallas, and he is set to take his job very seriously.

One of the coaching jobs that will get significant media coverage with the new Dallas coaching staff is defensive coordinator. Wade Philips ran the defense when he was the head coach, and most people felt that the defense under-performed for the past couple of years. The top candidates being considered for the open Dallas defensive coordinator position include Vic Fangio who currently works for the Stanford college football program and Greg Manusky who is currently a member of the San Francisco 49ers coaching staff. It is unclear as to whether Jerry Jones will hire the defensive coordinator, or if Jason Garrett will get involved in the final decision.

Jason Garrett was the offensive coordinator under Wade Philips, and he maintained that position when he took over as head coach. Now that Garrett is the head coach, one name that keeps coming up as the new offensive coordinator for the Cowboys is Miami Dolphins tight ends coach John Garrett. It probably does not hurt that John Garrett is also the older brother of Jason Garrett. The Cowboys hope to have a decision later in the week on both the offensive and defensive coordinator positions.

One casualty of the Dallas Cowboys search for a head coach was the departure of wide receivers coach Ray Sherman. Sherman had interviewed for the head coaching job that was eventually given to Jason Garrett. When Garrett was announced as the new Cowboys head coach, it was also announced that Sherman is no longer part of the Cowboys organization. It was not made clear whether Sherman resigned after not getting the head coaching job, or whether he was let go to make room for a wide receivers coach that Jason Garrett will choose.

Jason Garrett to be Cowboys new Head Coach

NOTE: The speculation is over, Jason Garrett was named the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys today.

Everyone is speculating that Jason Garrett will be the Cowboys new head coach, and the announcement is expected tomorrow. The last hurdle was to satisfy the Rooney Rule, which was done with the interviewing of WR Coach Ray Sherman by Jerry Jones today. More on this in the link to a Dallas News article below:

Hurdles Cleared for Jason Garrett Hiring

Dallas Cowboys News: Garrett Not Named Coach, But Still Keeps Building Staff

Dallas Cowboys News: Garrett Not Named Coach, But Still Keeps Building Staff

The online sportsbook experts have not seen a press release or heard an announcement from the Dallas Cowboys that confirmed that Jason Garrett is the next head coach, but rumors about Garrett building a coaching staff keep popping up.

The newest NFL betting rumor is that the Cowboys brought in Miami Dolphins assistant head coach and secondary coach Todd Bowles to interview for the offensive coordinator position and not the head coaching job as originally reported. The football betting world knows that Bowles has been with the Dolphins for the last three years, and in those three years the Dolphins have dropped a lot of interceptions. But, as part of the Rooney Rule, Bowles was said to be interviewing for the head coaching job. The NFL predictions are guessing that the talk was more about defensive coordinator than head coach.

Still, with Jason Garrett now interviewing prospective members of his coaching staff, Jerry Jones has not yet named Garrett as head coach. The speculation was that Jones would do so earlier in the week, but he did not. Now with Eric Mangini available for a coaching position, rumors are flying again that Jones is not sold on Garrett and that the owner wants to interview Eric Mangini before making a final announcement. But the Cowboys did announce that the interview process ended earlier this week, but there has not been any kind of coaching announcement as of yet.

The activities at Valley Ranch in the last week or two are incredibly confusing and are raising a lot of questions. If Garrett is the new head coach, then why doesn’t Jerry Jones just make it official? If Garrett is not the head coach, then why is he interviewing coaches for prospective staff jobs? Obviously, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys front office know more than the media does. But this strange set of circumstances is only fueling the notion that the Cowboys are not a focused organization.

The Cowboys finished 26^th against the pass and lacked a quality cover corner in their secondary. That may be why there are new rumors floating around that the Cowboys may have an interest in tearing Champ Bailey away from the Denver Broncos. Bailey would give the Cowboys some of the closing speed they need at the corner and help bring stability to a defense that seemed to come unglued in the 2010 season.

The Dallas Cowboys finished the season with the sixth best passing offense in the league. That should give Cowboys fans a reason to be optimistic about 2011 when you consider that the starting quarterback missed most of the season, the offensive line was adequate at best and the star rookie wide receiver missed several games due to injury. The Cowboys can build on their successes of 2010, and try to create the offensive machine that everyone was expecting. Quarterback Tony Romo will be ready for summer workouts and training camp, and receiver Dez Bryant is expected to be ready by summer as well.

Cowboys 2011 – 2012 Schedule & Opponents

The 2010 – 2011 season is finally over, what a disappointing season right from the start. Only two good things came from the 2010 season, the removal of Wade Phillips and the 9th round pick in the upcoming 2011 draft. Jason Garrett filled in pretty nicely as the interim head coach and he will be coaching the team next year (something I am not really excited about).

Enough about last seasons disappointment, let’s take a look at the Dallas Cowboys 2011 – 2012 schedule. Last year I provided a prediction for each game, which was so far from being right I decided to take a new approach. Instead I will go through the 2011 – 2012 schedule of home and road game opponents taking a look at their records and where they are headed next year.

Dallas Cowboys Update: Injuries are Still Plaguing The Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys Update: Injuries are Still Plaguing The Cowboys

The betting world is now wondering if Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will actually come back to play the last two games of this season. There have been rumors circulating by those in the NFL betting world that Romo will not be back and that the next move for the Cowboys is to place Romo on the season-ending injured reserve list. Romo broke his collarbone in the week seven game against the New York Giants. While owner Jerry Jones and interim head coach Jason Garrett are not giving any specific details on Romo’s projected return, the feeling around the Cowboys is getting strong that the quarterback will be placed on IR as soon as this week.

In other injury news, the NFL predictions surrounding the return of safety Gerald Sensabaugh and linebacker Sean Lee are looking just as grim. Both are suffering from concussions and both have been unable to pass the tests necessary to clear them for practice this week. The normal procedure is to wait until Friday to test players for the game coming up on Sunday. If Sensabaugh and Lee fail their tests on Friday, then both will miss the game against the Cardinals on Christmas Day. Read more
