"The two candidates are Derrick Ansley, the defensive passing game coordinator for the Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings defensive line coach Marcus Dixon. Following a three-year stint with the Los Angeles Chargers, Ansley joined the Packers. In 2024, his first season with the team, Ansley helped them increase their total takeaways from 18 to 31. That was the biggest improvement in the league that season, and the top one-year increase for the Packers since 1998-99."
"Dare it be said, the front office deserves some credit for at least its approach to free agency in 2025. Was it completely successful? Absolutely not, but taking swings on players like Dante Fowler Jr., Javonte Williams and even Jadeveon Clowney after the season started signaled an intentional effort that maybe didn't always manifest in previous years. This offseason, that will need to be the case once again."
Stephen Jones said the Cowboys want to finalize their coaching staff as early as this weekend, with two in-person interviews scheduled for Friday. The candidates are Derrick Ansley, Green Bay's defensive passing game coordinator, and Marcus Dixon, Minnesota's defensive line coach. Ansley helped Green Bay increase takeaways from 18 to 31 in 2024 and contributed to multiple top-10 defensive rankings. The front office took intentional swings in 2025 free agency on players like Dante Fowler Jr., Javonte Williams and Jadeveon Clowney. Offseason priorities include adding edge rushers, restoring linebacker consistency, and finding healthy bodies for the secondary.
