Report: Cowboys Expected to Hire Georgia OLB Coach Chidera Uzo-Diribe
The pursuit reflects a broad defensive staff rebuild that some observers view as a step toward a 3–4 under new coordinator Christian Parker.
Overview
- CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reports Dallas is expected to bring Uzo-Diribe to Parker's staff, though the team has not announced a hire.
- ESPN's Todd Archer previously reported the Georgia assistant had an in-person interview in Dallas on Tuesday.
- Uzo-Diribe has led Georgia's outside linebackers since 2022, helping produce first-rounders such as Nolan Smith, Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker, and contributing to a national title and multiple SEC championships.
- Pro Football Rumors notes that targeting an outside linebackers coach aligns with Parker's 3–4 background, a potential shift from the Cowboys' long-standing 4–3 that remains unconfirmed.
- Larry Brown Sports reports the Cowboys have already added assistants Marcus Dixon, Derrick Ansley and Ryan Smith as Parker reshapes the defensive staff.
