Dallas Cowboys: 3 coaches Mike McCarthy should retain

3. Sanjay Lal | Wide receivers coach

Oh, did you think I was going to enter Kellen Moore‘s name here? No thank you. The Scott Linehan lineage should be buried along with Garrett’s blueprints.

The Dallas Cowboys need new fingerprints offensively, and Dak Prescott will emerge even better. If anything, McCarthy can handle play-calling duties, so that leaves young Moore out in the cold with Garrett.

I also want to mention Marc Colombo. Overall, I punted back and forth with Colombo. The offensive line coach took over for Paul Alexander in October of 2018. While the offensive line has been up and down since, overall, Colombo deserves credit.

With McCarthy as the head coach, I would like to see some consistency from 2019, particularly with the offense. Enter Sanjay Lal. Lal has been with the Cowboys since January of 2018, replacing coach Derek Dooley.

Since then, Lal has coached Cole Beasley, Michael Gallup, Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb, and others. Cooper has been nothing short of a miracle. But the real McCoy is young gun Michael Gallup, who joined the Cowboys the same year as Lal.

In two seasons, Gallup has played in 30 contests, starting 20 of them. He has 99 career regular-season receptions and 1614 receiving yards along with eight scores. Gallup has a receiver one look to him, which is impressive when you have a guy like Cooper on the team. The Cowboys have Lal to thank for that emergence.
