Tim MacMahon at the DMN Cowboys notes that Wade Phillips runs the 3-4. And, quite frankly, if the Boys are going to compete next year, they need to stick with the 3-4, as Greg Ellis (who once demanded a trade rather than play LB in the 3-4) notes:

Ellis, once the franchise’s biggest 3-4 hater, said the new coach’s defensive scheme will determine if Parcells calling it quits is a big setback to the franchise.

“That’s the biggest thing,” Ellis said. “That’s going to be predicated on what Jerry does in hiring a new coach. If he hires a coaches who wants to go back to the 4-3, I think then you’re going back and having to re-draft, let a lot of guys go, bring a lot of new guys in. You’re kind of starting over again.”
