"After interviewing Chidera Uzo-Diribe on Tuesday, the Cowboys are expected to hire the former Georgia assistant as their outside linebackers coach, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. As PFR's Nikhil Mehta noted earlier this week, Uzo-Diribe helped develop OLBs Nolan Smith, Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker into first-round picks during his time on Kirby Smart's coaching staff. He'll now play a key role under new Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker. Marcus Dixon will join Uzo-Diribe and Parker in Dallas as the team's defensive line coach, Todd Archer of ESPN reports."
"A Cowboys D-lineman from 2008-10, Dixon began his coaching career as a Rams assistant in 2021. He spent 2022-23 leading the D-line in Denver alongside Parker, then the Broncos' defensive backs coach. Dixon held the same position with the Vikings over the past two seasons. The Vikings allowed Dixon's contract to expire after the season, and they've since found a replacement in Ryan Nielsen."
Chidera Uzo-Diribe is expected to be hired as the Dallas Cowboys' outside linebackers coach after interviewing with the team. Uzo-Diribe helped develop OLBs Nolan Smith, Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker into first-round picks while on Georgia's staff. Marcus Dixon will serve as the Cowboys' defensive line coach after earlier stints coaching the D-line in Denver and with the Vikings; the Vikings allowed Dixon's contract to expire and replaced him with Ryan Nielsen. Stephen Bravo-Brown, who worked in multiple roles with the Browns including assistant receivers coach, is also expected to join Dallas in an unspecified role. Additionally, longtime 49ers assistant Daniel Bullocks is joining the Packers in an unspecified role, and the Rams added Kyle Hoke as a special teams assistant following the hiring of Bubba Ventrone.
