From Blogging The Boys:

Ex-Broncos, Giants and Falcons head coach Dan Reeves, a running back and assistant coach under Tom Landry, recently expressed interest in returning to coaching.
Not sure if the 63-year-old Reeves, who was fired by the Falcons in 2003, would be a good fit. But I guarantee you the man would be motivated. He basically said he's sick of running errands for his wife and wants to get the heck out of the house.

Interesting. What does everybody think?

I heard the interview Reeves did a few weeks ago on WFAN (NY sports station) saying he really wants to coach again. He seemed like he wasn't kidding either.

Depending on the crop of guys left, Reeves may not be a bad option.

i think Reeves is a hell of a coach........just not for the Cowboys

he could have won it all with Denver if he had Terrell Davis and didnt he take Chandler and the Falcons to the Super Bowl.......he for sure still has the fire to get it done

i just dont think he needs the hassle of TO in his life

Absolutely, the man has a 3 TD game and Reeves would fall down in shock and awe...

I like Reeve's and all but his age and health has issue's with me also.


Jimmy Johnson state's he's not returning to the grind iron of coaching:

"It will not happen," said Jimmy Johnson. "I've got too good a life going now."

Then, however, came a pause, like maybe the door was going to be left open just a tad.

"No way," added The Jimster, firmly. "I got no desire to leave this for that grind."


But JJ seem's to think Norv Turner is the man for the cowboy's:


The first name I'd put in the mix is Norv Turner, currently the offensive coordinator with the 49ers.

"Not the sexy hire I'm sure many fans are looking for," said Jimmy, "but when you have the Tony Romo factor, then everybody had better think hard about Norv Turner.

"Everyone knows how I feel about Norv, but beyond that, I'm taking a look at what you want to happen on offense with Romo. And Norv is the candidate that makes the most sense in that area."

But when you mix in the serious defensive questions, can Turner find the right answers there?

"I don't know," answered Johnson, "but on a list of priorities for the Cowboys, developing Romo is as important as putting the defense back together. Now, can you find the right guy to do both?"

Of course, Turner knows the ropes here, and knows Jerry well. He's not the puppet type, but he can relate to how Jones goes about his business. Never underestimate this. It's all part of the local process.

Tony Romo needs Norv Turner. Julius Jones and Marion Barber need Norv Turner. Norv Turner's offense makes QBs and RBs better, and he did it again this year with Alex Smith and Frank Gore in San Francisco.

One of Norv's offensive disciples, Cam Cameron, just became the new head coach of the Dolphins. Cameron spent four years as Turner's assistant, and runs Norv's offense. Mike Martz was another of Turner's offensive pupils.

But is Turner sexy enough?

He's been fired at Washington and Oakland as head coach.

"Throw out Oakland," said Jimmy. "No one has a prayer there. And Washington, look at the facts."

The facts are that Turner worked for three owners in Washington, the last being the infamous Danny Snyder. Little Danny fired him because he couldn't live up to Joe Gibbs' legacy. But now, Joe Gibbs can't live up to his own legacy.

I talked to Turner on Monday night from Mobile, where he's scouting the Senior Bowl players. Typical of Norv, he would not campaign for the job. But does he want to return to the Cowboys, and try to rebuild the glory days he was such a part of? Yes, and hell yes.

end.

I would'nt be totally against seeing Turner come to Dallas as the head coach...he could be good for Romo and the Cowboy's offense....but i want a strong firm fierce defensive cordinator added to Norv's staff should Jerry decide to go with Turner.

I would second Turner...Romo is the future...

[WAREWOLFE94]

It would be nice if Norv came to Dallas dragging Singletary with him too Dark Knight.

Turner would be a great choice. There was a lot of speculation out there about several college openings they he might would have taken. Do you think he knew this was coming?
