Five years removed from his ouster as head coach of the Cowboys, Dave Campo could be returning to Valley Ranch as secondary coach.

According to a source, Dallas has received permission from the Jaguars to speak with Campo, who has served as Jacksonville’s secondary coach and assistant head coach the last three seasons. Multiple sources indicated that Campo would like to return to Dallas, where he has family and where he coached from 1989-2002 in several different capacities.

An off-season directive of Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio has been to address a secondary that was torched by Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in the playoffs (combined 79 completion percentage, 599 yards). On Friday, as Del Rio gave Campo permission to speak with Dallas, he hired Donnie Henderson -- a former coordinator with the Jets and Lions -- as a "defensive assistant". It is expected that Henderson will be the new secondary coach.

We'll have more coming soon.
