Cowboys fire former Griz assistant Read
By the Associated Press
IRVING, Texas - The Dallas Cowboys have fired special teams coach Bruce Read, a former assistant coach at the University of Montana.
Read was the first Cowboys assistant ousted in the wake of a disappointing 9-7 season.
Read's special teams unit made costly gaffes, including a blocked punt in overtime at Arizona that ended in a game-winning Cardinals touchdown. Breakdowns in kick coverage also beset Dallas, and Adam “Pacman” Jones fizzled as a return man.
Read spent two years with the Cowboys under coach Wade Phillips, who owner Jerry Jones has said will return next season. Read was previously an assistant with the New York Giants and San Diego Chargers.
Read began his coaching career working for his father, Don Read, at Montana. Bruce Read was the special teams coach for the Griz for 10 seasons, beginning in 1987.
