Dallas Cowboys legend: Why John Fassel was the team’s best new hire

After posting a disappointing 8-8 regular-season record, and losing a pivotal Week 16 matchup to the Philadelphia Eagles costing them the NFC East title and a playoff berth, the Dallas Cowboys eventually parted ways with longtime head coach Jason Garrett.

In Garrett’s place, the Cowboys hired former Super Bowl-winning head coach of the Green Bay Packers, Mike McCarthy. And the NFL veteran, whose been in the league since 1993, promptly went about the business of replacing the coaching staff from last season.

On Monday, the Cowboys officially announced the hiring of 19 assistant coaches, only four of which were on the staff last season.
