DETROIT - The Cowboys are set to hire former Houston Texans offensive coordinator Chris Palmer as an assistant coach, most likely this week, according to a source close to the team.
But Palmer is not a lock to be the team's next offensive coordinator and replace Sean Payton as the team's passing game coordinator and primary play-caller.
This will be Palmer's second time on staff with Cowboys coach Bill Parcells. Palmer was the receivers coach for three seasons when Parcells was head coach in New England. Palmer was the quarterbacks coach for one season and worked with quarterback Drew Bledsoe when the Patriots reached the Super Bowl in the 1996 season.
Palmer was head coach of the expansion Cleveland Browns for two seasons. He was the Texans' offensive coordinator since their inception but was fired in September.
