The Dallas Cowboys have cut ties with a number of assistant coaches in the wake of Sunday\'s playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Gone are senior defensive assistant George Edwards, running backs coach Skip Peete, offensive line coach Joe Philbin, assistant defensive line coach Leon Lett and assistant head coach Rob Davis.
The contracts had expired for all but four members of Mike McCarthy\'s staff. But it\'s still a firing, as a practical matter, to not offer them new contracts.
