The backstory
Adams has been the offensive line coach at Arizona for the past two years.
Adams’ Cardinals finished fifth in the league in 2024 in terms of total running yards and second in terms of average rushing yards per carry.
Adams worked in the collegiate game for a number of years after concluding his playing career at Boise State, including time at Colorado, San Jose State, and Sacramento State.
He held a variety of responsibilities, including those of co-offensive coordinator, tight ends coach, running backs coach, and offensive line coach.
Adams worked alongside Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus when he was hired by the Indianapolis Colts in 2019 as an assistant line coach.
Later on, he was promoted to coach tight ends for the Colts.
Turning Around The Cowboys Offense
Based on the figures:
After a dismal 2024, Adams will try to get the Cowboys offense back on track.
The Cowboys finished bottom in the league in rushing touchdowns (6) and 27th in rushing yards (1,705).
Other Cowboys’ Offensive Coordinator Candidates
A number of coaches interviewed for the role of offensive coordinator, including Adams.
In recent days, the Cowboys’ front staff has had conversations with the running backs coach Scottie Montgomery of the Detroit Lions, tight ends coach Kevin Koger of the Atlanta Falcons, and offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey of the Cleveland Browns, according to DallasCowboys.com.
