News: Archer: Cowboys Meeting with Marvin Lewis

[Ranched]

Because he likes saying crazy things

Lol. Well that's certainly an upgrade from clapping don't you think?!

 

[xwalker]

Why though. No seriously, why?

It really can get worse than Garrett.

It does fulfill the Rooney Rule requirements...

 

[john van brocklin]

Why though. No seriously, why?

Noooooooo

 

[Risen Star]

Would he have done that with Andy Dalton?

Garrett won with Dak Prescott.

Dalton got there in 2011. Now explain the other 8 years of Lewis' tenure there.

 

[Gaede]

Could be Rooney rule. Who knows? That's the problem with that rule. You are creating sham interviews.

That's not the rule. That's the owners. They could easily respect the rule and why it exists and interview new candidates with an open mind.

But they rarely do. They arrange token interviews and inevitably hire the guy they wanted before the process began. It's still a good ol' boys club because the owners are 'following' the rule but not changing anything about the way they hire.

Yesterday?

I'd rather have Lewis than McCarthy.

Bit I don't want either of them.

id have both mc for HC Lewis for DC lol

Rooney Rule or DC

LOL.

If I really want to hire a guy but I have to interview someone else for who and what they are, you are forcing me to conduct a sham interview.

That's not on the Owners. It's on the league for such a stupid rule.

I mean what is the mindset? These owners are racist but if we can make them talk to these people they're sure to hire them! It's dumb.

 

[CATCH17]

Exactly..

Dallas looks like they want to take the route of recycling bad head coaches.

 

[john van brocklin]

Rooney Rule. I win. Send me likes.

Sent!

 

[Alexander]

Sensing a pattern here.

A decade of futility. Very few playoff wins.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Or maybe the Cowboys have finally figured out how to keep a secret.

Ah, nevermind. There is no way.

 

[khiladi]

Jerry is intentionally interviewing coaches that suck, so he can say he didn’t have any real options. Then he will extend Garrett another year based on this.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Garrett won with Dak Prescott.

Dalton got there in 2011. Now explain the other 8 years of Lewis' tenure there.

Dak is trash and yet he is miles ahead of Dalton. Good try though.


They both suck as coaches, but Lewis is better. He actually made the playoffs 5 seasons in a row in the tough AFC North. Garrett cant even make the playoffs in back to back seasons.

 

[Aven8]

Jaylon could become the next Ray Lewis!!!

 

[bewp7]

i will say that if jerry is looking at some one like lincoln riley then a dc like marvin lewis makes a whole lot of sense. like wade phillips and sean mcvay in los angeles.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Yesterday?

Ya, Dallas media has been awful all year in terms of knowing whats going on.

Doesnt surprise me that this got by them

 

[Common Sense]

This could be for a DC position (in addition to satisfying the Rooney Rule if they want to move quickly on McCarthy).

Rumors that McCarthy would bring in Haslett as his DC are apparently untrue (another interesting nugget: didn't Haslett and Lewis work together?):



There's also this:



Even if Lewis doesn't join McCarthy's staff, I could see him being a senior presence on a staff led by a first-time head coach.
