FRISCO, Texas – New defensive coordinator.
No surprise when your defense gives up a franchise-high 473 points and finishes 31st against the run.
New secondary coach/pass game coordinator reportedly on the way.
No surprise when giving up 34 passing touchdowns, another franchise single-season high.
New defensive line coach likely up next.
No surprise when registering just 31 sacks, matching the fewest since the 28 of 2014 and the second fewest since the 24 of 2002.
And don t think the Cowboys simply woke up Friday morning and decided to fire defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and defensive line coach Jim Tomsula when they made the announcement. This decision had been in the works for weeks, but likely solidified after exit interviews with some of the more veteran players.
