FEATURED Rapoport: Cowboys have agreed to terms with McCarthy to be next head coach

[Big_D]

I definitely thought they would interview about 5 candidates and go from there. Another Jerry surprise. I’m happy with McCarthy. Finally got a real resume and a renewed sense of hope and a change that’s been a long time coming. I can finally watch the Cowboys again and think they actually have a shot at winning games in January!

 

[baltcowboy]

Man what?! I got hyped yesterday for nothing. We have all this time to look for coaches and we hire the first one we see? . Mercy on this franchise.

Yeah that shows you it's the Joneses show.

 

[gmb1]

Wow! Too bad we don't face the Packers next season.

 

[CATCH17]

did he bring Aaron Rodger?
you'll had jokes about Garrett. I can't wait for the McCarthy jokes.

Nah.. You can't have an opinion because coaching doesn't matter.

Let the rest of us comment.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Great hire. Now lets see how much authority Jerry gives him.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Sleepovers!

Jerry had the right ice cream to close this deal.

Jerry is a notorious spooner.

 

[perrykemp]

Wow! Too bad we don't face the Packers next season.

Until the playoffs....

 

[lostar2009]

What happen to Urban Meyer? Jerry found out he needs to control his own staff?

 

[Philmonroe]

did he bring Aaron Rodger?
you'll had jokes about Garrett. I can't wait for the McCarthy jokes.

Some of the biggest Dak fans think he’s on a close enough level as Rodgers so we should be ok no?

 

[superonyx]

as should all the fans already hating this move..lets be happy its new voice and a new process

im more interested on whos staying from the old staff, hopefully NONE....

who are M&Ms Coordinators? thats important.. yes I just game MCcarthy his nickname here no more clapper or red ball

M&M coming...

Its not a new voice. Its still Jerry's voice and process. Just a different puppet to take the blame for the failures.

His assistants will be whoever Jerry tells him they are. Kellen Moore is a sure thing.

 

[Risen Star]

McCarthy's arrival will bring an entirely new offense to the Cowboys after running mostly a Garrett scheme since 2007 even though the team has had three different playcallers since 2013 in Bill Callahan ('13), Scott Linehan ('14-18) and Kellen Moore ('19).

Moore, offensive line coach Marc Colombo, quarterbacks coach Jon Kitna and receivers coach Sanjay Lal are under contract. Most of the defensive staff, including coordinator Rod Marinelli and passing game coordinator Kris Richard, have expiring contracts.

And so it begins.

 

[Jstopper]

he and Payton have eerily similar career win/loss numbers and overall success. this is a solid hire. i would've preferred Rivera, but McCarthy is solid.

I’m from North Carolina have seen almost all the Panthers games. Why in the world would you prefer Rivera? He is trash. In 10 years he missed the playoffs 6 times

 

[CATCH17]

You want someone flaky that may or may not even show up?

I'd rather have anyone with upside then a guy that is a status quo hire.

 

[_sturt_]

if this is going to be the hire...please let him hire his own offensive staff...they are all available.

McCarthy called his own plays in GB iirc.

Whether he does here could be a sign of whether.he's going to stand his ground with Jerry and require autonomy.

Moore might be a Pete Carmichael kind of OC.

 

[snadler]

Horrible hire, jumped without looking at better options

 

[TNCowboy]

I’m happy with this!

Look, I wanted Riley or Meyer. But we knew that wasn’t going to happen.

Get a solid OC and DC and let’s go get #6

Your 2nd sentence explains why your 3rd sentence is an impossibility.

 

[Kevinicus]

Or 12-4, 13-3. McCarthy has won a ring and over 60% career winning %. Did you think Jerry was going to put this team in the hands of a coach that hasn’t coached in the nfl?

To Jerry, we could have two win talent and he thinks we’re super bowl bound

Why not? All 3 super bowls during his tenure came with coaches who hadn't coached in the NFL.

 

[Dallasfann]

Aaron Rodgers is our head coach?

 

[EJK24]

It was announced Haslett wouldnt be his DC. Lets see.

Ok thanks for the info. It will be interesting to see who they go after.
