The Dallas Cowboys had a lot of things go wrong in 2017 and inadequate coaching was a part of that. The brain-trust at The Star did not believe that change at the top was necessary as head coach Jason Garrett was given another year, as well was both coordinators Scott Linehan and Rod Marinelli.
But the organization still addressed the coaching issues in a big way by essentially cleaning house with their assistant coaches. All in all, eight position coaches were replaced. Three of them were replaced by promoting people within the organization - Kellen Moore (quarterbacks coach), Ben Bloom (linebackers coach), and Keith O’Quinn (special teams coordinator) moved up the ladder.
