The Dallas Cowboys announced a coaching change ahead of the 2024 season. Their defensive coaching staff was shaken up this offseason when defensive coordinator Dan Quinn left to take the head coaching gig with the Washington Commanders.
Mike Zimmer was hired as the Dallas Cowboys’ DC
Head coach Mike McCarthy passed on promoting anyone from the staff to take over for Quinn. He hired former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer as the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator. However, McCarthy is giving a long-time assistant a much-deserved promotion.
Al Harris earned a promotion
According to the NFL‘s website, the Cowboys announced changes to the coaching staff for the upcoming season. One of the bigger stories is the promotion of Al Harris. Harris will be the defensive backs coach and assistant head coach.
:Dallas officially announced the hiring of Mike Zimmer as its new defensive coordinator and the promotion of DBs coach Al Harris as an assistant head coach. The Cowboys also announced new additions to Mike McCarthy’s coaching staff, including Steve Shimko as an offensive assistant, Greg Ellis as an assistant DL coach, Cristian Garcia as an assistant DBs coach, Paul Guenther as a defensive run game coordinator and Jeff Zgogina as DL coach.”
The Cowboys’ secondary has thrived under Harris
Harris has been the Cowboys’ defensive backs coach since the 2020 season. Under Harris, the Cowboys have had one of the better secondaries in the league.
