By CLARENCE E. HILL, JR. IRVING -- Dallas is talking to longtime NFL coach and former Cowboys player Dan Reeves about joining the organization as a consultant/overseer for head coach Wade Phillips, a source confirmed Tuesday.ESPN first reported that Reeves, after interviewing for the offensive coordinator position with the San Francisco 49ers, informed the club he was likely going to take a consultant position with the Cowboys.Cowboys public relations director Rich Dalrymple would not comment on the report and said the team had no news to announce.But a source confirmed that the Cowboys have had discussions with Reeves about joining the organization in some capacity as a confidant to Phillips.In connecting the dots, its a move that makes sense.After the Cowboys finished 9-7 and did not make the playoffs in a season that began with Super Bowl-or-bust aspirations, Phillips promised to consult his coaching mentors and change how he went about his business of preparing a football team.Reeves, 65, played and coached with the Cowboys before becoming a head coach with the Denver Broncos (1981-1992).
