List of HC Candidates for the 2025 Cycle

I believe we need an offensive minded head coach but the best candidates in this class are all defensive minded guys…Flores would make this defense and team less soft. Jerry would never do it. Texans and Lions OC should be our top two candidates.

Kliff Kingsbury is probably more realistic then it should be.

Don't waste your energy fellow friends and foes MM will be back with the gang as he is the perfect YES man for good old Jerry.
 
Ben Johnson would be my top choice and I think he has an ego which I believe you need to overcome the innate softening of the team that comes from the Jones.
I think Glen would be good as he played for them and has parcels pedigree.
Also I know Jerry poopoo'd the idea. But I'm not counting Deion out.
I just believe it will take more than a good x's and o's coach to win in spite of the jones factor and maybe the energy that prime brings would do the trick.
 
No Deion? He just seems like the exact type of move Jerry would make. Very fitting 30 years later!

It’s interesting that the national guys are backing a MM extension. I like Flores myself. He is a complete “Richard” and we need that to overcome the “Cowboy” crap that has been here since Parcells left.

I actually think if they move on from Mike that it’s going to be Kliff. Here is the list of reasons.
NFL HC experience
Offensive coach
Will let them pick coaches like DC
From TX
Has experience working with QB’s and making them better.
Has some success as a HC in the NFL

He checks all the boxes for everything they like in a HC. They’re not going to go with anyone without experience as a HC. I would be shocked if they did.

Isn’t Kingsbury a big RPO guy? If so, I am not sure he is the right coordinator for the guy we have playing QB. Dak isn’t really a big run threat especially with the injuries starting mount. Also, were his offenses really that great in Arizona? He has been catching a lot of flack in DC recently because the Commanders’ offense has been struggling in recent weeks. I just don’t get excited about this guy being our next HC. I’m not sure why Arizona thought he was a good hire as a HC when he really wasn’t that good of a HC at Texas Tech. He spent 6 years as the HC of Texas Tech and only had 2 winning seasons. A year where he went 8-5 and another where he went 7-6. Guy was 35-40 at Tech. Then he coached for the Arizona Cardinals and only had 1 winning year in the 4 years he coached there. His overall record was 28-37-1. Guy has a total of 10 years head coaching experience with only 3 winning seasons.

While I can appreciate posts like this, I am really struggling to get excited about a possible new HC knowing that it won't really change anything.

I had been holding out hope we'd see a shift in philosophies after this disaster of a season. Unfortunately after listening to SJ commenting on the cap and off season I can see hes setting it up to continue down the same path of failure.

I don't understand what their end game is. They have to be aware the team is going to only get worse if they continue to hemorrhage players and bring in 1 year deals.

I know this isn't directly related to coaching, but with all the evidence our system is working you'd expect a change. If they won't change in that area I have absolutely no reason to believe they'll suddenly bring in a new coach and give him autonomy.

I wish the kool-aid drinkers would get on board and stop defending this moron and throwing money at him, because that is clearly the only way he changes.

KMoore
 
Jerry won't hire a coordinator without prior head coach experience unless it's one of his own like Garrett or Witten.

Didn’t he have the #1 offense with Dallas?

Come on man. You watched those offenses. The red zone crap. The run game being tossed. His performance against good defenses. He was terrible. Went to LA and almost ruined one of the most talented QBs in the game. Moore has an All Pro team in Philly to work with. Studs at every position.

2024-25 is a soft rebuild.

Big Mike has been a disaster with out KMoore.

his play calling is terrible.

Jerry/SJones would love to get KMoore and that #1 offense back in Dallas.

long term, 2025 could be the last season for Dak in Dallas.

Dak is facing a Post June cut in March 2026.
 
Sometimes you just have a gut feeling on a guy and I have that with Aaron Glenn. If I was looking for a head coach we would be on my interview list.

But this is all nonsense. It's what Jerry wants you to do. The problem in Dallas isn't the head coach.
 
Frankly, I'm just stunned that Belichick isn't happening. Didn't seem like he even gave it a chance.

Or he was told they are sticking with Pennsylvania Fats.
 
Wild card for at least an interview who isn't on that list:

Wes Phillips. That's right, Uncle Wade's boy. Pretty highly regarded young guy, was with McVay in the day, now OC under O'Connell in Minny where they're having an unexpectedly good year and have revived Sam Darnold, and was already here under Wade and Garrett so he has Jones Family familiarity.

I'd still bet on Kellen though. He and Dak are BFFs and that's huge to Jerry.
