Twitter: Jay Glazer on Cowboys coaching rumors

[Buzzbait]

....I mean, had we won at least one playoff game with MM, I'd be ok lets keep rolling. The fact he was ousted 1st game is huge Red Flag.

What about their 12-5 record? Was that a "huge red flag" as well?
This was not his 5th year or 10th year like Garrett. This was only his 2nd year and he went 12-5 plus a playoff birth.

Help remind me what parcells won

BP guided the Quincy Carter-led 2003 Cowboys to a 10-6 record and playoff berth...a masterful feat for which he deserved a medal, even if the club couldn't manage a tournament win. With help, of course, from Sean Payton (OC) and Mike Zimmer (DC). Who knows...depending on how things shake out, 2022 could look much the same, from the coordinator and QB standpoint.

You also had a good portion of that same fan base wanting Urban Myers as the coach.

Lol, change may be inevitable, but depending on what changes is key.The right coach, can make a world of difference. Imagine the discipline of Belichick, or the offense with Payton. Both coaches would bring other intangibles as well.

I believe that if McCarthy had an option, he would move on from a few key players on this team. He needs elite players to succeed, in my opinion. Some coaches need players; some coaches develop players.

Don't get me wrong, speed, talent, athleticism, heart and intelligence; is needed among the players. A good coach knows how to evaluate players and put them in position to succeed. Average coaches rely on the players to succeed.

This is just one man's unwarranted opinion.

I think Jerry needs to set down with McCarthy and hear is plan for going forward on each and every area, from soup to nuts. If he thinks its a good plan then let him stay. If the plans have holes in them then he says good bye. McC better have a plan with a bunch of detail and not a 20,000 mile view like a CEO. He needs to have his fingerprints on everything or he needs to depart. I don't think there is much doubt this team had enough talent to have done better then they did assuming of course that all the talking heads who always talk about their talent are correct. BTW, most of the talking heads predicted San Fran would beat GB, so those folks aren't wrong all the time.

Control of personnel which is something Jerry won’t give him. Payton will want to have the final say on who we draft. There could be other things. He’s already worked for Jerry and knows how he operates. If Payton isn’t given enough control to do things his way he’s not coming here.

He's not getting that but Is any coach in the league getting that? Maybe a few have it like Pete Carroll but they shouldn't

 

[fivetwos]

Possible one day
I agree it’s not now and won’t be as long as he’s under contract

Yeah I don't see Jerry dealing picks for him.

I also don't see him eating MM contract.

The being 'really mad' act is part of selling that.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

If you’re upset about this news just remember it could always be Jason Garrett.

The uptick in clapping and playful player shoves would be epic.

 

[tyke1doe]

Not saying Jerry wasn’t a problem, but these people praising parcells are the same ones that aren’t happy with other fans being happy about the team just making the playoffs.

Not in this fight, but the difference is the team Parcells took to the playoffs was not as talented (and, therefore, fan expectation was lower) as the team we fielded this year.

 

[CouchCoach]

Payton is going to be a talking head until Booger goes toes up and he can have more power from the son

 

[Sydla]

It's going to be MM. Jerry was just squawking and being emotional late last week.

He'll settle down, remember how brilliant he thinks he is, and conclude that his first instinct was to defend McCarthy therefore he's gonna keep him and show the NFL how smart he is by sticking with him.

Not saying Jerry wasn’t a problem, but these people praising parcells are the same ones that aren’t happy with other fans being happy about the team just making the playoffs.

The game passes Parcells by as far as coaching is concerned. He was extremely conservative in offensive play calling and we couldn’t stop a screen pass on defense against the Saints and Detroit. None of that works in today’s NFL. Against Seattle, he refused to attack the hobbled secondary in the playoffs.

Romo in reality made the 2006 season look better than it actually was. We had Giants players on the sidelines during the Panthers game to support Parcells, they didn’t like what they were seeing.

Not in this fight, but the difference is the team Parcells took to the playoffs was not as talented (and, therefore, fan expectation was lower) as the team we fielded this year.

Of course expectations were low. It was year two(?) of the rebuild and there was no faith in bledsloe. Thankfully big hill finally gave in because I bet he wanted to stick with 11 and if he did we probably don’t make the playoffs, but we will never know since he did cave to pressure. In the end he is another coach that Jerry hired that didn’t produce what cowboy fanzz expect.

 

[khiladi]

A lot of Parcells personnel turnaround is in leveraging veterans from his past teams. He did that here, which is why Vinny Testaverde was here and then Bledsoe, along with guys like Terry Glenn

He tends to trust his guys only, meaning he’s a control freak. His style worked in his prime, but it didn’t work here. I’m not saying you don’t need a dominant and controlling personality, but Parcells was rigid in his philosophy.

 

[basel90]

A vast majority of Cowboys fans got rabidly on board with McCarthy very quickly after he got hired

Yes initially . He had the credentials and a super bowl . But once the fans got to know the facts why he was so succeed at Green Bay ( Aaron Rogers, and Farve ) and a very strong Packers organization, the reality of this coach set in . He is so lucky to have worked with very successful HOFs and actually is a glorified trainer .

Losing wasn't my main issue. Any team can randomly lose. It's one game. The way we lost though is my issue and why I would want him gone.

1) The team has struggled with penalties all year and it's never gotten corrected. And cost them a few games including the WC game.

2) The offense (OC/QB) struggles and he being from that side of the ball does nothing to help. I don't see him talking to Dak ever and I don't see him calling plays.

3) Clock Management

Things that have been an issue throughout the season were never corrected.

On the flip side the defense got off to a slow start as well but when it was all said and done they did enough to win. Held the opposition to 23 points (only 7 in the second half off a TO from the offense no less). 23 points given up when you have the No. 1 offense is just fine.

 

[Reid1boys]

unbelievable the overwhelming cowboys fan base knew MM is not the right coach , but jerry and stephen made a decision over some whiskey at jerry's house that MM is the best coach out there to win a super bowl. it was obvious from the first 2 weeks that MM is washed out . crazy how politics and misperception plays such a role in jerry's decision making

what a load of crap. Did you see the poll that was out after we spanked the iggles asking if we were happy with MM.

It was an overwhelming YES. I said then the poll was a joke and lets ask that same question if we get bounced in the first rd. Well, we got bounced, and exactly what I knew would happen, happened.

But enough of that inaccuracies... 3 weeks ago, the vast majority of this site was ready to give their daughters to MM.

 

[conner01]

Yeah I don't see Jerry dealing picks for him.

I also don't see him eating MM contract.

The being 'really mad' act is part of selling that.

I totally agree

 

[KJJ]

I’m sure there’s several like Belichick, Reid and Carroll. McCarthy isn’t even in the top 10 highest paid NFL head coaches which tells you he doesn’t have much control.

 

[Doomsday101]

Sean Payton isn’t getting any younger if it doesn’t happen now it likely never will. I just don’t see it happening he’ll want too much control. He’s not going to come here to be a spectator on the sidelines.

I don't think that is the case. Every coach out there works with GM they are not running solo and coaches are accountable to the GM, player contracts are under the control of GM. I don't think Jerry is telling McCarthy how to coach or calling plays but GM across the league have a lot of input. I think often people think Jerry is the only GM out there who makes statements of has major input, that is not the case

 

[Brooksey]

I’m sure there’s several like Belichick, Reid and Carroll. McCarthy isn’t even in the top 10 highest paid NFL head coaches which tells you he doesn’t have much control.

I'm not a big fan of Head Coaches having final say on personnel, although I do think they should have input. The player personnel guys who put 100 hrs a week into it should carry the most weight, they should all work together. Pete Carroll has made some awful decisions in the trenches,
worst O-line in football and he may be losing Russell W. We're not sure what BB can win without Brady either, we know he was better in FA than in the draft, especially drafting WR's, we'll see. In Kansas City A. Reid has had tremendous support from Veach and others in putting that team together. I think Andy trusts his personnel people and focuses most of his time on coaching.

Dallas is family owned and operated but it doesn't operate that much different than everyone else.

Jerry in the media makes him a target and he's a fool for it
