News: NFL: Mike McCarthy set to interview in Dallas

Exactly. Its offensive, especially when there are quality young coaches out there who deserve a shot, like Saleh or Beneimy

Offensive? Eh. Depends on how sensitive you are.

Lazy? Absolutely. At least last time Jones interviewed Rivera and Singletary to at least get them some exposure.

Rooney rule is so insulting

I agree. Its a dumb rule from a less civilized time.

I would hope that we are past forcing these kinds of rules down people’s throats.

I don’t want Mike McCarthy he’s just another Jason Garrett.. of course this is something Jerry would want. Another puppet.

Your last 2 words. Bingo.

 

[StarMan2112]

Not a huge fan but would not be upset.

I feel the same. At least the guy’s won a Super Bowl.

How is that any different than unqualified guys like Kris Richard getting an interview with the Giants?

Most of these owners are not serious about advancing diversity. It is not really a secret.

It probably isn't. But Richard has been touted for a while as a future head coach. Maybe not so much after this last season....

Rooney rule is so insulting

Its insulting when teams follow the letter not the spirit of the rule. In reality, NFL owners are still hiring from the good ol boys club and only interview people of colour to satisfy the rule. They just cycle between the same three guys.

However, as any professional knows, even just interviewing for a job is good for your career, so even if the HC interviews are token, they still represent some good

I fail to understand how two separate candidates coming in for interviews for head coach would just suddenly decide to join forces for the same team.

Except Andy Reid is excellent with Xs and Os and McCarthy isn’t.

Packers are better off without him and the Cowboys are too.

Not true. According to Farve in an article today he is a good Xs and Os guy.

Honestly, I think the question is, "Does he have any other choice but to take a DC job?"

No one's impressed by what he did in Cincy over the course of 16 years.

Lets hope not

Another big concern with McCarthy is that Aaron Rodgers was carrying the Packers during his tenure as Packers head coach. For him to win in Dallas he’s going to have to build a complete team around our QB. He can’t try and turn Dak into Aaron Rodgers. In 2011 when the Packers went 15-1 and Aaron Rodgers won the MVP their D ranked 32nd. Statistically that defense ranked as one of the worst in history. The Cowboys biggest issue is their defense.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

I'm intrigued by McCarthy, especially now that he's supposedly embraced analytics.

Has Rodgers really looked that great this year?

No, thanks to Jones whom we helped put into the HOF is the main reason they are PO bound.

Marvin Lewis is so obvious, he’s gawd awful. I mean I understand if it was someone more qualified.

So if Garrett is like a 5 as a coach, then what is McCarthy? 6? 6.5?

More of a ringing endorsement than Romo had of Garrett. lol

 

[Gameover]

That's fair. Its also fair to wonder how much of GBs success was due to Arod and not necessarily McCarthy.

They were a talented football team for many years from top to bottom(GB)

KC has a history of being a winning team under Reid w and without Mahomes.

Talent matters. You guys overrate the hell out of QB

 

[lwehlers]

if marvin lewis is the coach of this team I am going have to think about changing teams. marvin lewis would be the worst head coach ever. lewis is worst then dave campo and wade phillips put together. might as well keep garrett which is what the jones family wants. I have been a lifelong cowboys fan and this owner is really trying my patience as a fan of this team right now.

 

[mattjames2010]

Yes! Let's go!

 

[Risen Star]

I've never seen a team interview head coaching candidates while still having their head coach under contract.

But this is about respecting Jason Garrett.

 

[sdfidaho]

So if Garrett is like a 5 as a coach, then what is McCarthy? 6? 6.5?

I'd go 6.75.
At least he can get to the NFCC/win NFCC

This whirlwind of the last two hours with the news about McCarthy breaking followed by the fact that not only is Lewis being considered but already had his interview just reeks of WWE-style entertainment at breakneck speed.
