One of the Dallas Cowboys fans who spoke with Jerry Jones during a Wednesday conference call, asked the team’s owner and general manager what Cowboys fans should be excited about in 2013.
Jones’ marketing savvy immediately kicked in and he spent the next couple of minutes explaining the three things that he views as “dramatic changes” to the franchise.
Here they are in the order that Jones rattled them off.
1.) Hiring Monte Kiffin as defensive coordinator and switching back to a 4-3 scheme.
“This change we made on defense will allow younger guys to play earlier,” Jones said. “It’s simpler. It relies on the skills of our defensive players. We really didn’t have a lot of adjusting to do. I’m real excited about what we’re going to do defensively. I think we will cut back on the big plays against us.”
2.) Hiring Rich Bisaccia as special teams coordinator.
“I think we have really improved in that we have someone who is not only a special teams coach that understands how [the players] got to play either their offensive or defensive positions, but those coaches are really coordinating with him to get guys that will play special teams,” Jones said. “For instance, you can’t have a third running back that’s not an excellent special teams player. You need your backup linebackers to be special teams players. I think we’re going to have very significant improvement.”
3.) Tony Romo’s increased job responsibilities.
“It is significant that Romo has made the additional, significant commitment,” Jones said. “This implies that Romo was kind of taking it easy. That’s the furthest thing from the truth. But there’s a big difference when the quarterback gets in there with the coaches on an everyday basis and looks at hundreds of plays over the last couple of years of a particular opponent. Romo’s going to be involved to that extent. You and I know that when it’s your idea, when you’re the one that wants to run the play this way, would like to block it this way, we all know we do it a little better with our own ideas.”

Yep, when I think of reasons to get excited, I think Rich Bisaccia. A guy so good, he got canned and went down to the college ranks.
Thank goodness our new DC didn't have to do something like that....wait.
