Cowboys hire another former OU coach

IRVING, TEXAS - The Dallas Cowboys have hired another former University of Oklahoma head coach. <br> <br> The NFL team that once had Barry Switzer as its head coach Wednesday named his OU successor -- Gary Gibbs -- as Dallas linebackers coach. <br> <br> Gibbs joins the Cowboys with no NFL experience, just like Switzer did when he replaced Jimmy Johnson as head coach in 1994. <br> <br> Gibbs was defensive coordinator at LSU last season, helping the Tigers win the Southeastern Conference. He had the same job at Georgia the previous season. <br> <br> Gibbs played linebacker at Oklahoma from 1972-74, then was a graduate assistant under Switzer in 1975. He worked his way up to defensive coordinator in 1981 and became head coach in 1989, replacing Switzer. His teams went 44-23-2 in six seasons.
