Untouchable Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Here's some more info MacIntyre Bio: Mike MacIntyre will serve as the Cowboys assistant secondary coach after spending the past four seasons on the Ole Miss coaching staff. In Dallas, MacIntyre will work closely with defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer in preparing the club's secondary for action. MacIntyre spent the last four seasons at Mississippi, working two years as wide receivers coach (1999-2000) before moving over to coach the secondary (2001-2002). He was also the Rebels' recruiting coordinator. In 2002, his work in the secondary helped Ole Miss to a 7-6 record, including a win over Nebraska in the Independence Bowl. His troops saw their interception total increase from 12 in 2001 to 17 in 2002. In addition, his defensive backs played a pivotal role in the team's rush defense as strong safety Matt Grier led the team with 12.5 tackles for a loss and 4.0 sacks. Sophomore free safety Eric Oliver posted the highest single-season tackle total since 1994 with 129 stops. During his first season working with the secondary, Ole Miss ranked first in the SEC and fifth in the nation in pass defense, giving up just 161.3 yards-per-game. MacIntyre coached two of the top receivers - Cory Peterson and Grant Heard - in Ole Miss history during his first two seasons with the Rebels. In the 1999 campaign, Peterson caught 46 passes to finish his career second on Mississippi's all-time receptions list. The following year, Heard not only passed Peterson, but also became the school's all-time receptions leader, hauling in 44 passes for 655 yards and a school-record tying nine touchdowns. Heard finished his collegiate career with 142 receptions for 2,029 yards (second best mark in school history) and a school record 16 touchdowns. MacIntyre joined the Rebels staff after two seasons coaching defensive backs at Temple University (1997-98). Prior to that, he was at the University of Tennessee-Martin, where he served as co-defensive coordinator from 1993-95 and defensive coordinator in 1996. MacIntyre added recruiting coordinator duties in 1994 and became the assistant head coach in 1995. While with UT-Martin, MacIntyre served as a guest defensive backs coach with the Memphis Mad Dogs (1995) and with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1996) of the Canadian Football League. MacIntyre began his coaching career with a two-year stint (1990-91) as a graduate assistant at Georgia, working with the Bulldogs secondary. He then spent one year as the defensive coordinator at Davidson College (1992). During his time at Davidson, MacIntyre also served as a guest summer coach with the Deggendorf Blackhawks in Deggendorf, Germany in the summers of 1992 and 1993. A 1989 graduate of Georgia Tech with a bachelor's degree in business management, MacIntyre played two seasons (1986-88) at free safety and punt returner for the Yellow Jackets. Prior to attending Georgia Tech, MacIntyre played for two years at Vanderbilt (1984-85). MacIntyre earned his master's degree in education with an emphasis on sports management from the University of Georgia in 1991. MacIntyre grew up around the game of football as his father, George, served as the defensive coordinator at Ole Miss in 1978, before taking over as Vanderbilt's head coach from 1979-85. Born March 14, 1965, in Miami, Fla., MacIntyre starred at Brentwood Academy in Nashville, Tenn. He and his wife, Trisha, have three children, daughter Jennifer (2/23/92) and sons Jay Michael (4/9/95) and Jonston (11/22/98). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECURB Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Maybe Miller will take well to this new guy and become a starter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetCane Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Jerome Henderson, the Jets director of player development, will now also have the additional duties of assistant DB coach. So we had to bring in two guys to replace Corwin, and it's still quite possibly a downgrade. Dallas' pass defense has been up and down the last 4 years under Mc, but there are always different factors involved in that. Still, it doesnt seem like we are getting a stud to replace Brown.

Considering Mangini was a DB coach himself you can add him into the mix and I think we are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Not that anyone knows a lot about strength and conditioning coaches but I for one was impressed with the fact that we avoided a lot of major injurys this year. I attribute a lot of that to the S and C coach. Didn't Markus Paul come with Mangini from New England? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Awesome. The Cowboys have two of the most over-rated secondary players in the league (Williams, Newman). They have a decent front seven too, but their secondary was horrible. Can't say I am jumping through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems likes a lot of coaching turnover for a good season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 there could be arguments made that the Dallas secondary regressed last year And this would be one of them Tyson - http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/gamecenter/live/NFL_20061231_DET@DAL I trust Mangini's judgement though. The guy seems to have solid credentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
