It feels like JErry gives MM the keys to do want as far as coaching goes......this just reeks of McCarthy not wanting to be held accountable and this is why the structure of this team sucks...you can't hold anyone accountable because you have 5 different guys you can blame. Nussmeier, Mcadoo, Kellen Moore, McCarthy....all of these offensive minds and we have nothing to show for it but confusion and lackluster play.
You've hit the nail on the head.

MM didn't want to be seen as heavily involved with the offense, so when it inevitably failed, he wouldn't have any fingerprints on it.

if it's not from the front office down, one organization, one team, one goal, winning...

then (as far as football performance goes) it's doomed to fail

Be great now if Quinn chimed in. "Mike asked if he could help me and I said only if you plop your badonkadonkabutt at LG and give my guys some competition".

My understanding it's not unusual for head coaches to give their coordinators complete control but if something not working, the buck stops with him. So this take by MM is a bit surprising.





why arent both MM & Moore fired yet. This is so depressing

So MM is trying to get rid of KM before KM pulls what JG did to WP?

But don't worry guys, the ONLY issue with the Cowboys is QB1.

Stuff like this is why I don't think MM is cut out for this job. Why are you letting your ship go down without trying to fix it? You're a offensive mind right? It goes back to his hiring of MIke Nolan...why would you let Mike Nolan ruin your first season? I just don't understand.

He came here for an easy paycheck

Yep...here because the checks clear and that's not someone we need at all.


Doesn't matter WHY the reason is....it just backs up my claim he's not the right guy for this job. If he's not willing to stand up to Jerry then no he's not the guy for this team.

I mean damn even Garrett had the balls to take over playcalling if he had too......

We are being unfair to MM. He is in a no-win situation like Wade Phillips, Jerry wanted to select the OC for the head coach. Can't fire the guy that your boss wants doing the job.

more twisted words and lack of Intent for fans to debate., he didn't refuse to help him his words were more to hes not been meddling in KM duty's as most hcs do not. he might need to but its not like he didn't help the man if he asked. i like BB and other media like to twist words to suit their needs.

what BB mean to say is it was obvious KM was struggling and MM didnt take over the play call duties. this might change in 2022 for sure but no way MM just threw KM under the bus and refused help, wrong word didn't offer help by taking over game plans and play calling duties.,.most do not do that in season but can be plan going forward or a new OC , OLC etc etc

I like how this place wanted Garett to butt out but want MM to interfere lol you either do your job or be fired maybe time for Moore to part ways and let MM get that fixed for him..yuppers that how you do it.

on a side note, not like any of the coaches can do the Offensive lines job and much of our issues were along the oL, they tried switching players etc but nothing worked the like all had issues not just one player. You cant run an offense well with the OL not executing and to boot the record setting number of penalties destroying drives.

KM and Dak supposed to overcome so many 1sts and 20s and worse? zeke and the run game going to do well in that situation not many holes 3rd and 11 so many drives..NO they can NOT!

PSS we did statistically whether accurately or not have a top 3 offense in the league or top in many categories in the NFC however that maybe skewed doesn't matter not like Moore was so bad we weren't functioning. Again, see above. constantly playing behind the chains can make any offsens struggle.

This is why McCarthy has to go. It was pretty clear he has a hands off approach to the team, hence them coming in completely unprepared over and over after a big win. His approach seems to be, "everybody just needs to do their job. It's not my business to keep them on task. They're getting paid for this" and that's the wrong approach to take if you want playoff success. It's the HC's job to keep everyone on task and make sure they are prepared and that's something we simply didn't see.

I agree. As much as MM publicly says he likes KM, behind close doors he is irritated that he didnt get to pick his own Offensive Coordinator. He held KM accountable as a result.

If he tanked the team by letting Kellen fail to 'show Jerry' that he should be allowed to pick his own OC, he needs to be gone yesterday. He needs to be a bigger man than that because he knew how Jerry was when he came here.

The only teams that have offensive coordinator problems are the teams that have QB problems.

Pretty much.

I do think certain guys can give you a big edge but let’s not act like we’re in Garrett mode with Kellen.

I disagree with this. We see how vastly Quinn changed up the defense. Micah Parsons alone wasn't responsible for going from the worst defense in cowboys history to creating a turnover machine defense. Same with the offense. The offense looked significantly better when Moore didn't have Garrett over him, but it's clear that Moore's inexperience came into play and that DC's 'figured him out' and he didn't have the experience to adjust. This is where McCarthy should have stepped in.
