Cowboys will add former Giants TE coach Mike Pope to Jason Garrett's staff. Replaces Wes Phillips, who went to Washington.

Hostile called it guis!!

 

[Rock Slamdance]

He can't believe someone had the same thought as him.

 

[Jon88]

As soon as I learned of this move I got visions of deck chairs and the Titanic.

What that means, I don't know.

I think he got that from the Dallas media, though. They definitely mentioned it first.

 

[Sheik]

Just friended him on Facebook.

Got same amount of sources again.

The difference between Wes Phillips and Mike Pope will be what pushes us into the playoffs. You heard it here first.

 

[NoShame]

I actually like this move... Maybe he'll be able to turn Escobar into something.

 

[Midswat]

Pablo is what Pablo is.

Between him and Kiffin, there will be a run on Geritol in the Metroplex.

Kiffin and Pope can take a daily aspirin regimen together now.

The people that make these are happy to have them here.

Think he'll teach Garrett and Callhan how to use two TE's in pass routes on the same plays?

Doubtful

Escobar is catholic. He will do anything Pope says.

Similar to Jason Garrett though is the question of qualification. What great TE work has come out of NY? Shockey? Bennett? Ballard. Boss? Not exactly knocking on any Pro bowl or Hall of fame doors. What has Pope done except been Jason's friend?

I love that we can always count on you to run a joke in to the ground. For realsies

Just read this about Pope.

Pope is considered one of the best tight ends coaches in the NFL, and has developed players like Pro Bowlers Mark Bavaro, Ben Coates, Stephen Alexander, Rodney Holman and Jeremy Shockey.

Hmmm. Not bad. Very different players, except they are all very good receiving TEs.

Pope has done good work and is a former Parcells guy. Garrett, since he has so little experience in the league, really has few guys he's associated with, but he has worked with Pope. It is a pretty good fit although he's old.
