IF...we change coaches...

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

Who will we have to compete with and is there a current HC that might come avl. that you would want?

Atlanta/Mora
Miami/Saban (He could leave for the Alabama gig)
Jacksonville/DelRio (I don't expect him to leave just yet)
Cleveland/Cornell (sp)
Pittsburgh/Cowher (I hope this could come true since Fisher is staying)
Tampa Bay/Gruden
Oakland/Shell
Giants/Coughlin
Arizona/Green

Counting the Cowboys, that could be ten teams looking for HC's next year.

And please don't tell me that we would hire from within. :eek:

[ndanger]

What about Steve Mariuchi ?

none of them clowns

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

What about Steve Mariuchi ?

Not if we keep TO!! :D

[Aikbach]

Les Miles.

[The30YardSlant]

Bob Stoops, the next Cowboys head coach

[Oh_Canada]

Fisher was my first choice....but that's out the window.

Cowher is next.

Maybe Mora who I think is better than his record has shown with Atlanta.

The rest are trash, unless you bring in Crennel to run the defense.

No college coaches thanks.

[big dog cowboy]

One option......

Kirk Ferentz

Position:
Head Coach

Experience:
Eighth year at Iowa

[ThreeSportStar80]

Jimmy Johnson would be my first choice for HC! I can only dream but hey Parcells came back. I think deep deep down inside Jimmy wants to coach again and why not in Dallas where they will be opening a brand new state of the art stadium soon enough.

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

I don't know.

On one hand I can just see Parcells staying one more year and then Jerry paying alot to Fisher.

On the other hand I can see Parcells leaving and Cowher coming in.

[Aikbach]

Les Miles HC, Mike Singletary DC.

[Star4Ever]

Anyone as long as the staff is revamped.

[Aikbach]

Anyone as long as the staff is revamped.You could regret those words.

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

Anyone as long as the staff is revamped.

Agreed. We need a true OC and a replacement at DC at the very least IMO.

[LatinMind]

cowher cant coach anywhere until 2008 unless pitt gives him permission which they wont

i think bobby stoops is next

[Deputy493]

I am not for this, as I think he is a great coordinator, but not so good of a HC....but if Tuna leaves, don't be suprised if Jerrah brings Norv Turner in.

I would actaully be good with Stoops, this team needs a coach to light a fire under their arse, he will just need some good coordinators....so Zimmer must go for it to work.

[Aikbach]

Chan Gailey is available in Georgia and Dave campo would probably like a promotion from Jacksonville.

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

cowher cant coach anywhere until 2008 unless pitt gives him permission which they wont

Why? His contract is over at the end of the season isn't it?

[Aikbach]

No Cowher please, I'll take his defensive coordinator however.

[Oh_Canada]

cowher cant coach anywhere until 2008 unless pitt gives him permission which they wont

Pittsburgh will let Cowher walk if that's what he wants to do. They don't strike me as an organization that will stop a guy who has given them 15 years of good service and a Super Bowl from leaving for another opportunity out of spite.

[ajk23az]

The defensive cooridinator for the bears (Rivera), dont know his first name though.............cliche time......."Defense wins championships"

[Oh_Canada]

If Rob Ryan would cut his hair....he would be a nice option. The guy has made the Raiders defense respectable.....than again, he is a Ryan.

Dom Capers?

[Oh_Canada]

The defensive cooridinator for the bears (Rivera), dont know his first name though.............cliche time......."Defense wins championships"

He is a young guy which I like and has a precense. Good option as well.

[Da Hammer]

He would be an excellent choice or even Mike Singletary although i would love him more as our DC!!! just about anyone else than the clowns we have as coaches here!!!

None of the listed choices except MAYBE Cowher or Gruden.

If Cowher leaves Pittsburgh I think its a given he takes at least a year off, maybe two, so fugghetaboutit.

I think Gruden will still be in TB next year and he'd be probably 4-5th on my list, maybe lower. He can come in and light a fire under this team's @$$ and can do wonders with inherited talent, but I'm still iffy on him.

My choices:

1. Jimmy Johnson (and then we woke up...)
2. Jeff Fisher - no chance for '07, and I'm sure Tenn will lock him up with a nice extension before he hits the market. But I would absolutely be climbing the walls with excitement if we could land him.
3. Sean Payton - yep, we whiffed on that one, huh? :eek:
4. Charlie Weis - I think Jerry has the cash and the clout to lure him away from ND. Only other contender would be NYG. Our offense would be SICK if he came in, and he'd bring in great assistants.
5. Denny Green - :lmao: just seeing if you're paying attention :)
I really don't know who else I'd want....I'm not sold on too many college coaches other than Weis, who has NFL experience. Stoops? Maybe, but no one knows how he'll pan out. Pete Carroll? Good lord, NO!!!!

I've always been a Parcells fan even since his NYG days, but even I admit...time to move on. *IF* we finally fire Zimmer, he could be great again in '07, but I've lost all confidence in him.

EDIT: I'd love to see Crennel or Singletary as DC, whether Parcells stays or we have a new HC.

[Deputy493]

I'm telling you guys, if Tuna goes, Norv Turner will be on Jerrah's list.

[zeromaster]

Chan Gailey is available in Georgia and Dave campo would probably like a promotion from Jacksonville.

:lmao2::lmao::laugh2:

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, right?

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

I've always been a Parcells fan even since his NYG days, but even I admit...time to move on. *IF* we finally fire Zimmer, he could be great again in '07, but I've lost all confidence in him.

I was also wondering that if/when Zimmer goes and if Parcells did stay, would the replacement be a 3-4 or 4-3 DC?

[Cajuncowboy]

My list of three...

Jimmy Johnson (our old coach..pipedream)

Bob Stoops

John Gruden

I do like the idea of Mike Singletary as the DC as well.

Do you think that Jimmy will be as good if that happened considering the Miami gig?

Man, just think Jimmy as HC, Norv as OC and Singletary as DC!

[panchucko]

A few names that don't get talked about on this forum, but could possibly happen.

1. Norv Turner, history with Jerry.
2. Mike Martz, I thought Jerry wanted him, until he was promised the job once Vermile left.
3. Gregg Williams, just to spite the Munchkin, plus he is a defensive guy.

I know everyone is dreaming of Miles, Stoops, Cowher and others, but I think these picks are realists.

[Cajuncowboy]

Not as good as he was before but you don't have to be THAT good in a leage that lets 8-8 teams into the playoffs.

I think he wouldn't coach afraid like Parcells does. JJ would go after the juglar ever chance he could. AND he would use TO more like he used Irvin.

[Aikbach]

Les Miles, Mike Singletary for DC. I rest my case, make it happen Jo Jo.

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

Never thought of Williams. Wonder what his offensive thoughts would be (OC)?

If he kept him. He is on record as saying that he would let TO go and even told Jerry that.

other than I already mentioned Norv twice in this thread

[Cajuncowboy]

Maybe, but I think he could handle him better and use him better.

Now the off field stuff is another issue.

Though that said, I don't think TO has been that much of a distraction. Kinda minor to what we all expected.

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

Maybe, but I think he could handle him better and use him better.

Very true considering Jimmy gives his "stars" special treatment. Might be the best marriage in football.

[kingwhicker]

I wouldn't mind Miles or Ferentz. Stoops I'm wishy washy on. Ron Rivera, Russ Grimm, Norm Chow those would be about all I'd want from the NFL-maybe Del Rio, maybe Cowher. Weis & Jimmy are pipe dreams.

[Aikbach]

You know Norv Turner along side a good DC such as Mike Singeltary might be a good thing.

Pillage the Niner staff.

[RoyBiscuit]

Man, just think Jimmy as HC, Norv as OC and Singletary as DC!

Jimmy would turn this ship around right quick. The Miami gig? Please...he won't be saddled with a Dan Marino if he came back, or a clueless owner. He'd make a few trades, cut the fat, and immediately foster a no-BS, winning culture. It will never happen, but can you imagine what a story it would be?

I'm gonna go watch my new Cowboys Super Bowl DVD's now (the ones with Jimmy).... :(

[panchucko]

other than I already mentioned Norv twice in this thread
Sorry man, just don't have time to read more than the first and last page of a thread. I give you all credit for Norv.

[RoyBiscuit]

2. Mike Martz, I thought Jerry wanted him, until he was promised the job once Vermile left.

I know everyone is dreaming of Miles, Stoops, Cowher and others, but I think these picks are realists.

Martz or Turner? :rolleyes: No thanks! More than enough evidence out there to know that both of them are great coordinators, but subpar head coaches in the NFL. I'd be pretty PO'd if Jerry went for them.

Williams is somewhat intriguing. But there's plenty of others ahead of him on my list.

[Billy Bullocks]

Romeo Crennel at DC. That would probably change ALOT.

[RoyBiscuit]

I think he wouldn't coach afraid like Parcells does. JJ would go after the juglar ever chance he could. AND he would use TO more like he used Irvin.

:hammer:

Jimmy would have the current squad contending for home-field. Well, not with Zimmer...but Zim would be working at Waffle House if Jimmy came in :p:

[Aikbach]

Johnson makes too much money as an arm chair quarterback and talking head on Fox. He says stupid things at present as well making me believe he plays more golf and scuba dives then he pays attention to the modern game.

It would be like having Abe Lincoln advise Bush, "Quickly Mr. President dispatch a rider to inform your generals...what is this telephone you speak of?"

I was just going to type this, if they plan on sticking with the 3-4 he's a must.

First...that was funny!!

Second...Jimmy's ego is as big as Jerrys. I bet that if he ever came back to coaching, this would be the best situation for him. He doesn't have to rebuild and he has money in the cap to put his prints on this team with both coaches and players.

[Billy Bullocks]

At some point you have to look at the defenses problems and say it's coaching. 3rd and long, soft zones, no creativity with blitzes. That's not the players fault. That's the scheme. Liosn go 5 wide. We rush Brady James at the center 1 on 1. No overload to any other side. Just let 5 guys go 1 on 1 with the Lions OL. It's in a nutshell the type of **** Zimmer has done all year.

Zimmer teaches a fine bend but dont break defense. But he is unable to take the reigns off and let the team play up to their potential. He's a coward. We're getting burned for long 3rd down convertions with his sit back coverage, it wouldn't hurt to just send a rush, maybe force an errant throw or two, or maybe even get a sack. Or worst case, give up what has become the inevitable 3rd and long conversion

Should Parcells return, I hope that he replaces Zimmer and gets a better starting RB.

I know, I know, if the O-line produced...

I just don't have faith in Jones and would like to keep Barber in his current role.
