"While only in his first season with Dallas, Whitecotton has been a primary DL coach since 2021 and an assistant since 2013. He started in Jacksonville as part of Gus Bradley's staff, the year Bradley became head coach after his breakout with the Legion of Boom in Seattle. It was there that he first worked with Robert Saleh, the linebackers coach at the time, and they would resume that relationship in Saleh's tenures with the 49ers and Jets."
"When Dallas made Whitecotton their DL coach, it seemed to be mainly based on the merit of his work with the New York Jets, helping Quinnen Williams become an elite interior lineman and the centerpiece of an otherwise strong defense. Before going to New York in 2021, Whitecotton was the DL coach for a reputable 49ers defense and known entities like Arik Armstead and Javon Kinlaw."
Aaron Whitecotton is the Dallas Cowboys' defensive line coach and the leading internal candidate for defensive coordinator. Whitecotton has been a primary defensive-line coach since 2021 and an NFL assistant since 2013. He began in Jacksonville on Gus Bradley's staff and worked alongside Robert Saleh through tenures in Jacksonville, San Francisco, and New York. Whitecotton joined Dallas after Saleh's 2024 firing. Whitecotton lacks prior ties to Dan Eberflus or Brian Schottenheimer within Dallas's current staff. Whitecotton earned the Dallas role largely for his work with the New York Jets, where he developed Quinnen Williams into an elite interior lineman.
