espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4689513/cowboys-announce-callahan-and-henderson-hiresThe Dallas Cowboys announced the hires of Bill Callahan and Jerome Henderson to the coaching staff on Thursday.
Callahan has been named the offensive coordinator/offensive line coach. Henderson is the secondary coach.
The Callahan move is interesting because he replaced long-time assistant coach Hudson Houck, who retired this week. Callahan was named the offensive coordinator but it's not known if he'll call plays, something Jason Garrett has done since joining the Cowboys.
Houck was the running game coordinator and Garrett's brother, John, was the tight ends coach/passing game coordinator.
Callahan spent the last four seasons as the assistant head coach/offensive line coach with the New York Jets and has been a former head coach, leading the Oakland Raiders to Super Bowl XXXVI.
Henderson, who replaces Dave Campo, spent the last three seasons with the Cleveland Browns.

Still happy about the Callahan signing. Say good by to the running game might as well signed Mike Martz.

DANGIT!!! sportsblogs.star-telegram.com/cowboys/2012/01/jason-garrett-will-continue-to-call-the-plays-despite-bill-callahans-title.htmlJason Garrett will continue to call the plays despite Bill Callahan's title
Jason Garrett has lost his title of offensive coordinator. It is a title he has held with the Cowboys since he arrived as an assistant coach in 2007 and something he kept when he became the full-time head coach last season. But Garrett isn't giving up the play-calling.
Bill Callahan officially was hired by the Cowboys on Thursday. The team created intrigue among fans when its press release said the former Oakland Raiders and Nebraska head coach was hired as offensive coordinator/offensive line coach. Some were hoping it meant Callahan will call the plays with the Cowboys, but that is not the case.
Garrett will continue in his role as play-caller, only without the title of offensive coordinator.
The Cowboys ranked eighth in total offense last season. |
