Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has only been in his new position for six days and he is already ahead of schedule when it comes to hiring a new staff.
Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel reported early Sunday morning that the Cowboys have hired Texas A&M’s cornerbacks coach Maurice Linguist. The exact position title for Linguist is unknown at this time, but we do know he will be coaching in the Cowboys secondary.

Linguist already has some familiarity with one current Cowboys’ safety. During his two years at Texas A&M, he helped coach safety Donovan Wilson. The Cowboys drafted Wilson a year ago in the sixth-round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
He is no stranger to the state of Texas. Linguist was born in Dallas and played safety for the Baylor Bears from 2003 to 2006. Here is a little more information on the Cowboys new coach. This will be his first shot at coaching in the NFL.
