DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys made another hire official Tuesday after announcing that former San Francisco defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen will be their new special teams coordinator, WFAA Sports Anchor Joe Trahan confirmed.

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to hire Nick Sorensen as their new special teams coordinator, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Sorensen will replace John “Bones” Fassel, who left the Cowboys to coach special teams for the Tennessee Titans.

Brant Boyer was announced Monday as the 49ers’ new special teams coordinator, a role he held the past nine season with the Jets, where he overlapped and worked under coach Robert Saleh, who was re-hired Friday as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator.

The Dallas Cowboys have named Nick Sorensen their new special teams coordinator, as reported by ESPN's Todd Archer. This is the latest addition to head coach Brian Schottenheimer's staff. Sorensen joins the Cowboys following his tenure as defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers.

The San Francisco 49ers search for a new defensive coordinator has not necessarily gotten off the ground. Robert Saleh is seen as the top candidate.
