We’ll likely lose Richard for Garrett **merged**

[TwentyOne]

Richard is Tier 1 head coaching candidate by advisory board. Garrett survives by making the playoffs. So the dream of Richard replacing him is likely dead. Richard will be head coaching another team in 2019 and we’re stuck with the Clapper for another year (or decade). Shoot me now.

Idk if richard is hc material just because he seems.to know about the xses and os. Id rather say he for sure is great at his position right now and we should take the risk to promote him to dc. But hc needs other traits. I am not sure he has those.

Forget it , even dallas fans don't know a talented coach if they have one ...

Bye Richards, ... our brightest coach in a decade ...

The odds of Richard going from a DB coach to a head coach are.........?

It won't happen in Dallas, not while Jerry still has rainbow eyes and a man crush for Garrett

 

[ShiningStar]

you guys said this about Linehan. The league and work does not work that way. Richard also took a bit of a hit leaving Seattle as well because people wanted to know if it was the talent or him. clearly its him but that doesnt make him HC material as well. And a few good days at work does not gt you promoted.

I'm saying at all. A team comes and takes a DB coach and make him a head coach? Richard had the resume prior to getting here. If I'm not mistaken he was fired as the Seahawks DC. Came here as our DB coach. So a year later he's NOW a head coaching candidate? I'm sure he will be used in the "Rooney rule" because these organizations have made a joke out of what that rule was suppose to be.

No it doesn't. I do think the plan was for him to be a DC here though. I think Maranelli is going to call it quits. IF not this season the next. He's going to do for him what Kiffin did for him here.

Unfortunately, to comply with the Rooney Rule someone like Richard may get some token interviews, although he is deserving of actual HC openings.

I would imagine Green Bay is going to want an offensive-minded HC.

 

[slick325]

I'm ok with that. No one was clamoring for him as a HC when he left the Seahawks. He has done well once again when the cupboard is full. Good luck Sir.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Richard came to dallas and made the defense the 3rd best in the league , within a single season .

Talented doesn't begin to cover it .

 

[RoyalCowboy]

How do you even know he wants to be a HC right now? Maybe he doesn't want to. Let's stop speculating.

 

[rynochop]

I figured these threads would start popping up

Pretty safe assumption. Most assistant coaches want to be head coaches, especially younger ones who haven't had a HC job yet.

 

[tm1119]

I doubt it. He’ll likely be the Dallas DC next season.

Dude just got fired from a DC position last year.

Much ado about nothing, in all likelihood. Nice panic job though.

He got a head coach interview last year before taking our job. He’s been on the fast track to head coach for a while now. And Seattle’s D let up 20.8 PPG in 2017 which was good for top 1/2 of the league, he didn’t get fired for being really bad. Carroll felt he needed a “shake up.” Now that our D took a dramatic turn to top 5 with Richard coming in and calling plays? I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t get a head coach offer....at the very least he’ll get multiple interviews. It’s definitely a realistic conversation to have.

No speculation , Greenbay wants to interview him for the head coaching job .

I 'speculate' assistant coaches dream of being 'head coaches' one day ... but hey , maybe its just me and some greed .

 

[Praxit]

..it looks like Richard could be offered the DC if price is right. Even though Marinelli has done a descent job here. Richard's 1st year presence, has caught like embers from a fire. This defense, could take Dallas far this year, cementing the point.

I cant see Marinelli arguing with that. I also dont see Jerry & Sons messing with the process that works.

 

[Alexander]

You people worry too much.

Richard has no credentials. Just look at Garrett's resume.

 

[ShiningStar]

No it doesn't. I do think the plan was for him to be a DC here though. I think Maranelli is going to call it quits. IF not this season the next. He's going to do for him what Kiffin did for him here.

i agree with this.

[GenoT]

Gotta feeling Jerry’s already tabbed KR as DC-in-waiting, seeing as how Rod M’s been considering retirement for a few seasons at this point.

After KR gets a coupla seasons of DC under his belt, who knows?

My hope is that he takes over the DC job and Jerry pays him handsomely to do that.

Two new coordinators would be amazing.
