Cowboys Hire Tight End Coach Doug Nussmeier to Complete Coaching Staff

The Cowboys have completed their coaching staff now that multiple sources have confirmed they have hired Doug Nussmeier as tight ends coach.

Nussmeier has deep ties to play-caller Scott Linehan. He coached quarterbacks for the St. Louis Rams, when Linehan was the head coach.

Nussmeier was Florida’s offensive coordinator last season. He’s also been the coordinator at Alabama and Michigan.

Those recent college ties could help him bring intriguing concepts to the Cowboys’ offense, and make it more Dak Prescott-friendly.

Although coach Jason Garrett kept Linehan as offensive coordinator, running backs coach Gary Brown is the only offensive assistant coach that was brought back.

Sanjay Lal, who spent last season with Indianapolis, is coaching receivers and Paul Alexander, who spent 23 years with Cincinnati, is the new offensive line coach.
