News: FS: Jerry Jones just threw Mike McCarthy all the way under the bus

[CATCH17]

It was a joke.

McCarthy may not be the best coach but at least he’s a real NFL coach compared to the last guy who had no business being the coach.

 

[fivetwos]

I dont see it like that. Just another dumb, out of place joke from Jerry.

It’s his dumb way of telling everyone that he is still the man in Dallas.

No other human knows how to step up and embrace failure the way Jerry does.

Yep, that’s ME who has bungled this thing for this long….

Either way he is insulting himself. First of all he is admitting the lack of success. 2nd he blames the coach, even thought he is joking its low class. 3rd hes the one that hires the coaches.

Just another dumb Jerry quote.

From the article's author:

There’s not another GM on the planet who could get away with more than two decades of playoff futility. Jones, who employs himself, is the lone exception.

So maybe he should save his jokes like, “Drafting is not our problem, coaching is.”

She makes a solid summation. Even the Joe Burrow-led Cincinnati Bengals separates Mike Brown from Jones. Of course, Brown's Director of Player Personnel, Duke Tobin, does not share his DNA either.

It may have been a joke, but Jerry is right that drafting is not our problem. Our problem is that the GM believes that you can do that and achieve success while not making much use of a key component of roster building, free agency.

I 100% agree with Jerry! I've been saying the same in recent years. Cowboys definitely have a coaching (all coaches, especially positional coaches) problem who have failed to either coach certain players up or make the wrong decisions as to who to start/who to sit/who to cut/who to keep. It has showed and cost the team in recent years.

AC I think the Jones boys make most of those decisions.
I can only blame the coaches for what they control, which is teaching players, getting them ready for a game, the playbook, play calling, and schemes.

JG was bad, but who hired him and kept him here for a decade ?? Same for marinelli.
Mike hired his DC who was worse than marinelli, the Jones boys finally made a good hire in Quinn and we can all see what a difference that made.

They hired mike, but wouldnt let him have his own OC or call plays until this coming season.
I dont think much of mike, but he has had one arm tied behind his back by the jones boys till now.
Will be better to evaluate mike this coming season.

And even as a joke a GM should never say this publicly about his current HC or the whole staff !
There is no plus side to that comment.

exactly, and he is also saying the jones boys are smart and great at drafting, so the problem must be the coaching.
He is so stupid he forgot he is the one that hires them, and he endorsed JG as a great coach, and future tom landry for a decade.
Then he hires mike but keeps kellen, and I dont think mike is actually great either, but want to see how he does as play caller.

Jones boys did hire quinn though, so they did one thing right, and this comment could even apply to quinn, who turned the swiss cheese defense
they had into a pretty good defense.
Jerry and his boy are arrogant morons playing at the job they do,because jerry owns the team.
They love to talk to media, as it makes them feel important.
All this is why I never want to see them hold up another SB trophy.

Agreed, DD!

There's only one major problem, Jerry, and it has a drinking problem, a fun baby, and a 27-year run of embarrassing the city and this franchise on and off the field.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Coaches have came and coaches have gone, but the biggest problem with this franchise is the dumb arse who thinks he's a GM. Our second biggest problem is that he hired a red headed son of a scout. He let Garrett be here for a decade with absolutely no results despite handing him some rosters that had some real talent.

 

[Clove]

Yeah, that was pretty boss there. I think McCarthy got the message even though they pulled it off like it was a joke.

 

[Clove]

Jerry likes to tell funnies.

 

[CCBoy]

Football is a sport...it is still allowed humor!

 

[ConstantReboot]

I dont see it like that. Just another dumb, out of place joke from Jerry.

Its his dumb way of telling everyone that he is still the man in Dallas.

He just can't admit that he is the main source of the problem in Dallas. Still trying to prove that he knows a thing about football.

 

[Sarge]

…..and who hires the coaches…..

 

[buybuydandavis]

Money shot:
Lest we forget who hired Jason Garrett and employed him for a decade before finally putting him out of his misery because coaching was the problem and everyone but the owner seemed to realize it.

 

[Zekeats]

For once he’s actually right. Besides the taco pick but I believe the coaches influenced that one

 

[noshame]

I originally had McCarthy lasting 3 to 5 games. I think now I have to adjust that to 2.
Jerry was obviously ready to fire him after the playoff game, and should have done it.
Instead he's waiting for a few losses so it seems fair .

 

[Jipper]

Talk about blowing something way out of proportion...but hey it's getting clicks right?

You do not fire a coach after back to back 12 win seasons, playoff appearances and the first road playoff win in 30 years.

I think your take is so far from reality...MM isn't going anywhere any time soon

 

[NotForLong]

The problem is most coaches do not want to coach for this GM
