Stephen A. Smith calls for Rex Ryan to join Cowboys as defensive coordinator

Following the Dallas Cowboys' 33-30 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, Stephen A. Smith criticized the team's performance during a segment on 'First Take.' He attributed the Cowboys' struggles to the absence of Rex Ryan as defensive coordinator, suggesting that owner Jerry Jones should hire him immediately. Although Ryan has not coached in the NFL for a decade, Smith argued that his past success with the Jets makes him a viable candidate for the position. Jones, however, indicated he would not make coaching changes during the season.
