The Cowboys have plenty of work to do in order to complete their 2023 coaching staff. After agreeing to part ways with offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and not renewing a large number of expired contracts, head coach Mike McCarthy will have at least seven new assistants on his staff when offseason activities begin in mid-April.
The first of those positions was filled on the first day of February. While Dallas was interviewing candidates for coordinating the offense McCarthy himself will call plays from, the big man on campus had already identified who will be in charge of, well, the big men on campus. Before giving Brian Schottenheimer the promotion from consultant to OC, Dallas had agreed with former Seahawks OL coach Mike Solari to be the main man in the room for the offensive line.
Veteran coach Mike Solari will become the Cowboys offensive line coach, replacing Joe Philbin, per source. Solari spent 2018-21 with Seattle. He was an assistant OL coach under Mike McCarthy for a year in Green Bay. He had a 2-year run with the Cowboys under Tom Landry, 1987-88.
