Cowboys make surprising bye week move wi

The didn't get as crazy as the , but they did pull off a coaching firing of their own.The team coach Paul Alexander. It's a somewhat surprising move for the Cowboys, considering that Alexander was just hired in January and had been with the team for a total of only seven games.The move comes as the Cowboys get ready to prepare for the second half of their season. The team had a bye in Week 8 New York Mets Custom Jersey and it seems that coach Jason Garrett used that free time to evaluate his coaching staff. More on the NFL "While approaching the midpoint of the season, and going through an overall evaluation of our entire operation during the bye week, we felt that this move would serve the best interests of our team moving forward," Garrett said of the firing in a statement. "We have great respect and admiration for Paul and what he has accomplished in a very succe sful career in the Pete Alonso Jersey NFL."With Alexander out, the Cowboys are going to replace him with a sistant offensive line coach Marc Colombo. During his 10-year playing career, Colombo actually spent five and a half seasons as a member of the Cowboys offensive line. Since this will be Colombo's first big-time coaching job, the Cowboys are bringing in some reinforcements to help him: The team has hired former Cowboys offensive line coach Hudson Houck to advise Colombo. "These New York Mets Jersey are not easy decisions to make at any time of the year, but we will move ahead with the utmost confidence in what Marc Colombo and Hudson Houck will bring to our team in their new roles," Garrett said.As for Alexander, he was hired by Dallas in January after spending the first 24 years of his coaching career in Cincinnati. The let him walk after his contract expired following the 2017 season. In a twist, the Cowboys were in need of an offensive line coach earlier this year because they let they got Jacob DeGrom Jersey rid of their offensive line coach, Frank Pollack. Pollack ended up taking Alexander's old job in Cincinnati.Under Alexander's watch, the Cowboys had some serious trouble in pa s protection. The Cowboys are on pace to give up 52.5 sacks this year, which has left running for his life. To put that number in perspective, Prescott was sacked just 25 (2016) and 32 (2017) times during his first two seasons as a starter. Of course, Alexander also had to deal with some unforeseen circumstances in the form of the illne s to . The All-Pro center was diagnosed with in August and hasn't played at all Pedro Martinez Jersey this season.
