I'm disposed to thinking Big Mike will be somewhat on a short leash, although, unsure as to just how short it's likely to be. I think he'll get this year and perhaps another, to prove how adept or else, ineffective he'll actually be. I see the upcoming season to be a bit more advantageous than last year was, although, that remains to yet be tested. Hopefully, decent progress will be achieved, without expecting anything too "Super" to be in store. Let's say a division championship would surely be seen as significant progress. Anything more should rightly be seen as altogether magnificent. ;)

OTOH, anything less than a winning season could possibly be something pretty tough for MM to withstand. :eek:

Jones and Jones replaced McCarthy's entire defensive coaching staff.
No playoffs - plus two or three games where the HC in-game decision making results in losses....he's gone after two seasons... ala Chan Gailey two decades ago.

P.S. I like the last line of that article by Zack Kelberman:
'Undying loyalty and patience are reserved only for Jason Garrett.'

It depends on how bad the Cowboys are. If they are 9-7 or better, MM is safe. 8-8 or worse, then he is in danger of being fired.

No he has at least 4 more years. Contrary to popular belief he wasnt brought in to win now. It was gonna take 2-3 years at least. Now its still at least 2-3 years. Tbh

I think Jerry will let him off the hook after 2021. It's not going to be a good year. No way Dallas fixes that d overnight. If he craps the bed 3 years in a row, he'll be gone.

I'm not a big McCarthy fan, but McCarthy got a free pass for this season because of how strange and difficult it was for a new coach to come in and get his schemes installed with no off season programs or preseason games. It's like this season didn't exist, so if in 2021 and the Cowboys don't win the division but have a better record than this season I very seriously doubt that Jones will fire McCarthy. Even if they have the same record, how often has Jones fired a head coach after just two seasons?

Garrett barely managed 8-8 seasons with a mostly healthy roster... MM went 6-10 with a devastated roster. If he can only manage 8-8 with a healthy roster then yes, boot his rear to the curb.

He has to be. Can’t have another sh$$ storm season like this one. We’re in the worst division. The bar has to start at winning the East.

Exactly. Jerry hired Mike to win now. One more embarrassing season and he's got to go.

I'm also thinking Jerry sees Moore as respected enough to garner HC interviews, so he won't be a joke if he jettisons Mike for Moore

I hope Mike wins because i really see a decade of garrett-light with Moore if they go that route.
