Former WVU Quarterback Will Grier Joins Dallas Cowboys Offensive Staff
The former quarterback is set to work as an offensive assistant after 7 NFL seasons and a brief retirement, according to multiple reports.
On Friday, former quarterback Will Grier joined the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff as an offensive assistant, weeks after announcing his retirement from the NFL on July 15.
Grier retired on July 15 after signing with the Carolina Panthers earlier this offseason; he had previously declined an offer to join the Cowboys' coaching staff before reversing his decision.
During his 7-season playing career, Grier spent time with 7 teams, including two stints with the Cowboys, where he built close ties with quarterback Dak Prescott and head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Grier will begin working with the staff when training camp commences on July 29 in Oxnard, California, joining an organization aiming to build on its previous season's offensive success.
This transition marks entry into the growing pipeline of former NFL quarterbacks moving into coaching, where Grier will apply his playbook knowledge to assist the Cowboys' offensive unit.
