In need of a new defensive coordinator, the Dallas Cowboys have quickly found one

Late last week, what seemed like a foregone conclusion became confirmation. The Dallas Cowboys chose to move on from defensive coordinator Mike Nolan after just one year of service.

That one year, however disrupted, disjointed, and full of challenges, will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the worst in franchise history. The Dallas Cowboys allowed the most points ever in one season in their sixty-year existence. They also finished second-to-last in rushing yards allowed in 2020.
