"This was inevitable, but it counts for nothing if the Commanders don't find the right coaches to spearhead Jones' plans for growth. And unfortunately, a rumored target has opted to join a bitter division rival instead. According to ESPN's Todd Archer, Marcus Dixon has joined the Dallas Cowboys as a defensive line coach. He worked with Jones over the last two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, but his prior connection to new coordinator Christian Parker meant Washington's hated adversary got in there first."
"This is particularly significant given that Jones is reportedly looking to add a coach to lead his defensive front seven in the near future. It's not hard to see why the Cowboys might be a more attractive option. Jerry Jones loves to spend, and they have some decent pieces to work with, especially after trading for Pro Bowl defensive lineman Quinnen Williams."
Daronte Jones began his tenure by allowing several assistants to depart and by parting ways with longtime staff. Departures include Jason Simmons, assistant defensive line coach Sharrif Floyd, player development coach Pete Ohnegian, and team legend Ryan Kerrigan. Marcus Dixon, who worked with Jones in Minnesota and with coordinator Christian Parker in Denver, has joined the Dallas Cowboys as defensive line coach. The Commanders had rumored interest in Dixon while Jones seeks a coach to lead the defensive front seven. The Cowboys' resources and the addition of Quinnen Williams make them an attractive landing spot, underscoring Washington's need to find the right replacements quickly.
