Jerry Jones says the Cowboys will stick with the 3-4 defense and a two-tight end, one-back offense even after Bill Parcells is gone. With that in mind, don't be surprised if Jones makes a run at Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, who is familiar with both systems. Bill Cowher could be another possibility if he decides to leave the tight-fisted Steelers.

Did You Know? Balanced Cowboys have featured 171 pass plays and 170 run plays, and have scored eight TDs from each

There were 16 new offensive coordinators in the NFL at the start of this season - exactly half the teams changed coordinators. Mike Kruczek, who replaces Rowen in Arizona, becomes No. 17. While Brian Billick becomes the 11th head coach to call his own plays this year, the Ravens joined a small minority of clubs operating without an offensive coordinator. Only the Dallas Cowboys, under Bill Parcells, do not have one.
