But from what I was told by two sources inside the Dallas Cowboys organization today, Pikes comment about Auburn wide receivers coach Trooper Taylor is dead, flat false.
Today two sources confirmed to me that Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett not only never considered Taylor for any position on the NFL teams coaching staff, he was never in contact with Taylor about any manner of employment.
In fact, from what Ive been told by a source familiar with Garretts thinking, Taylor might the last person Garrett would hire for his wide receivers coach because of the well-chronicled, poor work habits of ex-Taylor protege Dez Bryant. (Taylor coached Bryant at Oklahoma State in 2009.)
