If Nolan isn't fired you might as well chalk this era of MM as failure

[Sydla]

I’ve been saying once it’s Stephen’s complete show to run we are in trouble. Idk how much Jerry is puppeteering behind the scenes but look at the Dlaw, Jaylon, Zeke, Amari contracts and Dak non-contract.

I still don't get why people complain about the Cooper contract. It's not a bad contract. Geez.

 

[Sydla]

Number 23 and number 28 for starters. Dont know there names.

Yeah but neither of those guys would warrant the team saying to themselves, "shoot, they mean business". Thompson and Worley are bit players that stink.

Not saying Cooper contract is structurally bad but they signed him as well as others before their supposed franchise QB. Now to sign whom you believe is the centerpiece of your team it’s gonna be at an outrageous price

I am starting to get the feeling that McCarthy is going to last only 1 season with Dallas. It's not that they are losing games. Considering the number of injuries including Dak, that's predictable. It's the way they are losing and the way the players are quitting and complaining. That is inexcusable. McCarthy comments on the fact that his players did not come to the defense of their QB, but is was more mater of fact and less anger - like his team is playing. Of course that is in front of the media and we have no idea what he said in the locker room. The team is playing with no pride, no confidence, and no intensity. That is inexcusable and if it continues for the remainder of the year the Cowboys will be a laughing stock and Jerry will not tolerate the country laughing at him.

I was never a bog fan of McCarthy but I thought he would be better than Garrett. I thought he would have his teams prepared better for games and they would make fewer bonehead game decisions. I am not seeing that yet, but the product on the field is so horrible it's hard to see all the problems.

Nolan should be out the door already. The fact that he's still DC is insane.

The further this goes on (which it will), then McCarthy should be one and done. This isn't just about injuries and the Covid season. The team's overall effort is just pathetic. Sure you can blame the players for not playing hard for these coaches, but in this overwhelming fashion? Holy crap!

More than anything, here's why McCarthy should be one and done. Cowboys would not beat a single NFL team right now, I guarantee it. If they played the Jets this week, Jets would probably beat Cowboys in the exact same way WFT did. The Jets tried to beat the Bills last Sunday. Cowboys showed up to Washington for a paycheck.

Aight so you gonna get rid of 53 players and keep these numbers coaches?

MM may not be able to get rid of 52 players, but I'm pretty dam sure if he could it would be close to that. This team is loaded with players that are too dumb to coach, Don't give dam attitudes, Not very good, Cowards, Underachievers I could go on about this team. There's a serious disconnect and it has to be identified this off season. If it means both players and coaches must go then so be it, this team will not and can not compete at a high level if there isn't a major overhaul of the DALLAS COWBOYS.

 

[glimmerman]

Nolan will be his scapegoat. Maybe fire him right before end of season.

 

[camaro69]

McCarthy has a SB though....not even that long ago. He failed on this hire though. I don't know if its the mask or what but he looks clueless.

he also had Aaron Rodgers, Look at A. Rod without Mike. The game passes them all by at some point.
If you need more evidence go back and look at the bad coaching decision this SB winning coach made the short time he has been our coach
sometimes he look brand New, He hired a DC that hasn't coached in 16yrs and when he was a DC he wasn't good at it.

They have zero faith in their coach.

What has Arod won without Mike though lol?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

I don't think it's the coaching, I think it's the players.

 

[GMO415]

One year? no.

It's not hard to figure out why. Cooper took, what was a fairly team friendly deal that allowed the Cowboys to get out from under the contract in only two years. It was a palatable contract for them. Dak, on the other hand, pushed for a deal that wasn't likely going to be team friendly for the front office because he wanted as much, if not more, guaranteed money than peers got and then also wanted less years which hurt the Cowboys cap management.

What was Dallas supposed to do? Not sign Cooper to a good contract for them because they had to bend over and give Dak what he wanted first?

 

[Sydla]

I don't think it's the coaching, I think it's the players.

It's both. At least on defense.

Offense? I think it tends to be more OL issues and then of course losing Dak.

 

[bewp7]

correct,

i have no idea how nolan still has a job. if the player were just getting out talented then fine there is nothing u can do...but every one is completly lost on the field. no one knows what they are doing or where they suppose to be, mis communications consantly giving up huge chunk yards, always out schemed and out smarted, poor fundamentals...this is all on the coaches.

good coaches get the most out of who ever is on the field and can get units playing way better then the sum of their parts...nolan and the defense coaches are doing the opposite. they are all very lucky that every one is distracted by dak and dalton and other injuries.

 

[Buzzbait]

Who you going to cut that won't screw up your cap but would send enough of a message? Not many options.

But one easy option is fire the DC who clearly sucks. That's an easy move to make to try to spark something.

I agree, this defense has sucked big time from Nolan's 1st day and every day since then. Nolan needs to go, and yesterday wouldn't be soon enough.

 

[Buzzbait]

Demoting him to position coach will probably do it.....

Personally I don't want Nolan anywhere close to this team. Dump him now.

I get what you’re saying but they keep pounding their fists on the desk that Dak is their franchise quarterback. They could have signed him 2 years ago in the 25-30 range but waited. Then this year it was in the 30-35 range with fewer years. Next year it’s more than likely going to be in the 38-42 range. They will have to franchise him again because of his injury and it’s gonna be a massive cap hit that will restrict what they can do in feee agency. I’m of the opinion that Stephen dropped the ball on this one.

 

[FVSTONE]

Who's they? The underachievers or the COWARTS? It's pretty much the one's that are messing up that b#$%^&h the loudest. This takes the pressure off of them................

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

You can't. He would have to balk at the Nolan firing and resign. Wishful thinking on my part.

Technically, if Jerry told MM to fire Nolan and he didn't then he could fire MM for insubordination. Get out of paying, well that is the hard part.
