REEVES TO TALK ABOUT HIS DALLAS DEPARTURE

Former Broncos, Giants, and Falcons coach Dan Reeves has spoken to the Dallas Morning News and ESPN.com regarding the reasons for his short stint with the Cowboys. At 4:10 p.m. EST, Reeves will talk about the situation on 680 The Fan in Atlanta, during Buck & Kincade. It’s our understanding that Reeves will tell the whole story, including details about the issue over which the deal collapsed. Per Chris Mortensen and Ed Werder of ESPN.com, the problem first arose when Reeves balked at becoming a member of Wade Phillips’ coaching staff, and when owner Jerry Jones apparently resisted giving Reeves an executive title with broader authority. “I thought the thing was done, and we finally agreed on what the title was going to be,” Reeves told ESPN.com. “I didn’t want to have a coaching title and not have authority coaching-wise. I wanted to work with him [Jones] and Wade and help in any way that I possibly could. We finally agreed the coaching thing wouldn’t be in there, but then the contract changed and there were some things in there I couldn’t see being in there, and they were important to [Jones]. He made a lot of concessions, but this was something that was important to him, and I just didn’t feel like I could live with it. So it didn’t make sense for us to go forward.” The interview will stream live right here.
