The Dallas Cowboys never announced that former Broncos, Giants, and Falcons coach Dan Reeves was joining the franchise.
And now the Cowboys have announced that he won’t be.
“We had two very good days of dialogue with Dan Reeves, and both the Cowboys and Dan had an interest in working together,” team P.R. director Rich Dalrymple said in a statement. “By Wednesday afternoon, we were unable to reach an agreement on all of the details of a contract, and both parties were comfortable with the fact that Dan would not be joining the organization. Jerry [Jones] holds Dan in the highest regard as a friend and a tremendous contributor to the history of the Cowboys and the NFL.”
It’s unknown whether the deal fell apart over money, or regarding the authority that Reeves would possess.
It’s also unknown whether the Cowboys will look elsewhere for a senior-level consultant to help this underachieving franchise improve.
