Dallas Cowboys targeting Scott Linehan to call plays - NFL.com
A few points here...
1) Jerry Jones is trying everything he can to win, except cutting himself out of the loops and turning the team over to a GM.
2) The Cowboys, despite having Murray in the backfield, ran the ball one of fewest times in the league last year. They only handed it off 336 times, which makes them 31st. The kicker is they averaged 4.5 yards per carry when they did. What the hell?!
NFL Stats: by Team Category
They were 13th in the league at pass attempts - passing the ball even more times than Green Bay.

3) So they're going to hire a guy that's going to pass even MORE? Scott Linehan?
Linehan was among the Lions assistants let go after Jim Schwartz was fired this month. Under Linehan, the Lions finished sixth, third and fifth in total offense over the past three seasons. Linehan is known for his pass-heavy approach -- he's unlikely the man to solve the Cowboys' balance issues on offense in recent years.
