Now that Paul Pasqualoni is at UConn and it appears Reggie Herring is headed for Houston, the Cowboys have only a couple coaches under contract defensively for Rob Ryan to work with.
The new defensive coordinator could want to let go of secondary coach Dave Campo and/or safeties coach Brett Maxie to bring in his own guys. But is that what should happen? Should Jason Garrett leave it to Ryan to bring in whoever he likes for the defensive staff?
Garrett has final say on all coaching staff matters, but because most of his background is on the offensive side, he may be tempted to let Ryan pick his guys. If it's done that way, the newly-promoted head coach may risk presiding over a staff of coaches who have divided loyalties.
During his eight-game stint as interim coach, Garrett made it clear he had convictions about certain things, and was interested in having in hand in the defense to some extent, sitting in on all of their meetings in addition to those on offense. He will likely continue to do the same, but how will new coaches respond to that, especially if they believes it was Ryan and Ryan alone who brought them to town?
Garrett has been around the league and been a coach long enough to know of some pretty good candidates for position coaches. Unless he's ready to draw a line of chalk across the locker room and coaching department again, maybe he should insist on retaining a guy or two from the current staff, and bringing in another defensive assistant of his choosing.
