Cowboys safeties coach MacIntyre leaves for Jets By RICK HERRIN Star-Telegram Staff Writer IRVING -- Cowboys safeties coach Mike MacIntyre is the latest member of the staff to leave for another job. MacIntyre, whose contract expired with the Cowboys, is joining the New Yorks Jets as secondary coach after spending the past four years with the Cowboys. MacIntrye is the seventh member from the 2006 staff to leave. The others are defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer (Atlanta), special teams coach Bruce DeHaven (Seattle), offensive quality control coach David Lee (University of Arkansas), quarterbacks coach Cris Palmer (New York Giants), passing game coordinator/wide receivers coach Todd Haley (Arizona), and running backs coach Anthony Lynn (Cleveland). Head coach Bill Parcells retired.
Well this could be good and bad. He develop good cover corners and horrible cover safeties (if Watkins and Roy Williams are even coachable).
He is the "SAFETIES" coach...he didn't develop the corners. I think that Roy Williams just plays the game to light up wide receivers. This guy could end up being a good hire if he's given "coachable" players, like Rhodes, Smith, and Coleman.
Well to see that he didn't work with the corners at all, is a misconception. Not only that, but I've never heard of only a "safeties coach." He was brought in here to be our secondary coach, since Corwin Brown left.
He did come to the Jets to be the secondary coach, but with the Cowboys, his job title was "Safeties/Defensive Quality Control". He was only an assistant in Dallas, so he worked with 1 specific position, just like a quarterbacks coach or a linebackers coach...
We'll see. Either way, I'm hoping he brings an attitude to the secondary, because it's something we've lacked since Victor Green left town. That don't come over the middle mentality for the platoon of Rhodes and Coleman/Smith would work wonders for our corners and our front three.
