Klayton Adams

Cowboys hired Cardinals OL coach Klayton Adams for their offensive coordinator vacancy.

The Cowboys moved quickly with Adams, giving him a virtual interview earlier this week before meeting in person with him today. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones previously stressed the importance of the run game when talking about what the team was looking for in an offensive coordinator. Adams served as Arizona’s offensive line coach for two seasons. The team ranked ninth and seventh in rush yards per game. The next step in the Cowboys’ efforts to improve their ground game will be retooling their backfield. Ezekiel Elliott was cut before the end of the season and Rico Dowdle is a free agent, leaving the team with a massive opening at running back.
