Inside The Star
The Dallas Cowboys offensive coaching staff shakeup is nearly complete. Every significant coaching role has been replaced, and this team is looking to start fresh.
As every fan knows, Mike McCarthy is out, and along with him, much of the coaching staff he had by his side.
The new coaching staff will look to turn the team’s misfortune around with several big-name hires in the hopes this team can make a deep push into the playoffs.
The Cowboys will need all the help they can get because, as it stands right now in the NFC East, they will start the season as the third-best team in the division.
The Philadelphia Eagles are fresh off a Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Washington Commanders are coming off an NFC Championship appearance.
The NFC East is always challenging, and as everyone knows in this division, each year can be drastically different for every team.
With that in mind, who will lead the Cowboys from the sidelines and press box?

Pretty average by offensive standards, but the coaching staff he has built around himself so far should help elevate the offense.
A healthy Dak Prescott should also be a big boost to the offensive numbers.
Klayton Adams came to the Dallas Cowboys from the Arizona Cardinals, where he was the offensive line coach.
Adams was highly respected in the Cardinals organization and should bring a fresh look to the Cowboy’s offense.
Klayton Adams is an offensive line guru, and every team he has been a part of has seen the offensive line progress without bringing in big-name free agents, which is music to Stephen Jones’ ears.
In the NFL since 2019, Klayton Adams held the position of assistant offensive line coach and tight ends coach with the Indianapolis Colts.
In 2023, he was hired as the offensive line coach for the Arizona Cardinals.
It is hard to quantify the stats for an offensive line, but here are the rushing and sack averages for those teams during...
