MOBILE, Ala. - In the last few days, the Cowboys have hired a new head coach and two coordinators, and now have hired three new positions coaches to Brian Schottenheimer's staff.
The organization has hired Dave Borgonzi as linebackers coach, Aaron Whitecotton as defensive line coach and Andre Curtis as defensive passing game coordinator, the first assistants named to Schottenheimer's first staff as head coach.
Borgonzi returns to the staff after being an assistant in 2012-13 for two seasons. Most recently, he was the linebackers coach for the Bears on Eberflus' staff. In between, he was with the Colts for four seasons and the Bucs for four years as well.
Whitecotton spend the last four seasons as the defensive line coach for the New York Jets. Prior to that, he began his NFL coaching career with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013 as a defensive assistant, before later being promoted to assistant defensive line coach. He then went on to join the Buffalo Bills for two seasons, and then one more with the San Francisco 49ers before joining Robert Saleh's staff with the Jets.
Curtis has ties to both Schottenheimer and Eberflus. He was with the Seahawks on the same staff as Schotty, serving in roles such as defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator from 2015-21. For three years, he was with Eberflus on Chicago's staff as the safeties coach. Overall, Curtis has been coaching in the NFL since 2006.
