I wouldn't read too much into it. I think what Gus has done is hire the 'best' people to help him take this team forwards. How many ex-head coaches did the Cowboys have working under Jason Garrett?


NFL

- Bill Callahan, OC/OL

- Scott Linehan, passing game CO

- Rod Marinelli, DC


College

- Derek Dooley, WR

- Monte Kiffen, Assistant head coach/defense


I'm not sure if Jason Garrett hired his own staff or not, but having experience behind him seemed to help the Cowboys take that next step. Maybe Gus realised he needed more experience on his staff? And why not take advantage of a guy like Doug Marrone who led the Bills to a winning record and has a decent resume?


I wouldn't read too much into it. I think Gus went for more experience and who he felt was the best people to help him in what could be his make or break season.
