The Dallas Cowboys are set to hire SMU defensive coordinator Scott Symons as their new inside linebackers coach, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Symons has spent the past four seasons leading SMU’s defense and agreed to a contract extension in December 2024 after helping the Mustangs reach the College Football Playoff.
