Kleffner joins the Cowboys from Missouri where he was a quality control coach focusing on the line and earned positive marks from offensive coordinator Derek Dooley, the former Cowboys' receivers coach, and offensive line coach Brad Davis. Marc Colombo was named the offensive line coach midway through last season and Hudson Houck ended the year as a consultant. Colombo signed a new deal after the season. Steve Brown, who helps with running backs and is an offensive assistant, will return as will Andre Gurode and Phillip Tanner as defensive end special teams assistants respectively.
Jason Garrett is starting 2019, the final year of his contract, without the benefit of an extension to take him off the hot seat before the season even begins. “We're both happy with where we are,” owner and general manager Jerry Jones said. “And we've done this before. We both have real trust in each other. So a little more unique than normal.” In 2014, Garrett entered the final year of his contract after three straight 8-8 finishes and directed the Cowboys to a 12-4 mark that earned him a five-year, $30 million extension.

"I'm not going to get into any of our strategies our how we are going to be doing it," Jones said. "It is strategic but DeMarcus is certainly a significant part of the now and the future."
