How former coach Wade Phillips could shake up Cowboys staff

Former Cowboys coach Wade Phillips has expressed an interest in becoming the defensive coordinator for the Houston Texans.
If that happens, it's believed he will make a run for at least two members of the Cowboys coaching staff _ linebackers coach Reggie Herring and secondary/safeties coach Brett Maxie.
There are a lot of moving parts here. But let's add Miami's Todd Bowles, who will interview with Jerry Jones Wednesday, to the mix and play this out.
Say the Cowboys decide to hire Bowles as defensive coordinator and Herring leaves for the Texans at a later date. The club could plug interim defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni into Herring's spot. Pasqualoni worked with the Cowboys linebackers for two years when he was on Bill Parcells' staff.
If the club wants to retain Maxie _ and they do like him _ it may have to increase his responsibilities and redefine the role of secondary coach Dave Campo.
Will all of this happen? It's too early to say. But as the Cowboys go about restructuring their staff, they are not the only ones who will have a say in what shape it takes.
