Video: Scandrick on the McCarthy hire

[CB61]

Who made that decision?

Head coach or Oc I would imagine your tight end coaches don't get to say who plays or not they might have input but obviously no one listened to him

 

[gmoney112]

Scandrick is turning into quite the chatter box. He must want a job in media bad.

And if this Witten thing is true, then nothing has changed. I doubt McCarthy is pulling together his staff and the first thing he says is "ya know, I think I am going to hire Jason as my TE coach".

Where did this Jaston Whitten coach thing even come from?

I feel like Sexy Rexy is just trying to start his own shtick for his tv gig.

His fiancee (ex now? I can't keep up) is a reality TV "star" and social media climber. It appears he's decided to follow the same path. Controversy = views and clicks.

So for me he gets filed into the "actor playing a role" category, just like pro wrestlers and your SAS/Skip types. Listen for entertainment if that's your thing, but not for informed opinions.

He's being controversial based on stating facts and his opinion though. Its not like he's saying off the wall stuff he's just not the typical analyst guy. It might work for him.

 

[KingRah]

I've never coached. But I don't want witten. The ultimate progress stopper never helped another te on this team and his boot camp speeches never worked. kudos to the great player he once was. But an emphatic no to witten the coach. Let him earn his stripes elsewhere.

I d love t o as a wr coach. He’d teach them to run routes and stay in shape.

 

[texbumthelife]

I don't believe this Witten nonsense for a second. Jerry specifically avoided hiring a coach with no experience. There gonna do a total 180 and go from MM to Witten.

Yall are clickbait ******.

 

[aikemirv]

Oh nothing has changed. That's been made clear already.

That’s pure conjecture on your part and actually goes against what has been stated-hey but that never stopped anybody on conjecture before

Head coach or Oc I would imagine your tight end coaches don't get to say who plays or not they might have input but obviously no one listened to him

I would think so as well. I have to wonder how much he lobbied for Jarwin though. I also have to wonder how much of a liability Jarwins blocking was and if that is the reason he didn't see the field more. Sounds like something Garrett would do.

 

[calicowboy54]

A lot of people already projecting Witten as a coach on the staff and Rex Ryan even says they will groom him to be the next coach.

Keeping that country club environment in tact.

He also says Byron Jones is probably gone

OK i have to say something, when you throw in a 2nd year QB that most did not project to do anything in NFL that some say is scatter brained in the pocket and loose with him the 1st year. and then the next year, your QB is going through stuff and pissed off at you yeah those last 2 years sucked. But lets not forget other 3rd string guys that have come in to play and sucked, we've had a few. Im going to give MM a shot. let Nolan fix the Dfense and MM and Kellen put their heads together to come up with awesome plays and let MM call them, since he's had the experience doing so. if we are not in NFCCG or better by year 3 ill be shocked.

 

[BigD_95]

That was pathetic. Scandrick is awful on that clip. None of them seem like they even know what they are talking about.

 

[crashintonickdm]

Why’s it bad if witten is a TE coach? He was a HOF TE. If he wants to coach you gotta start somewhere

 

[crashintonickdm]

McCarthy is a reasonable man, but he is not going to load up his coaching staff with cronies from the past regime when his name is atop of the accountability chart. He may want Witten on the staff, but likely not before being shown something first. Being a HOF player doesn't exactly transcend into a coaching career.

why not? He knows what it takes since like you said he was a HOF player.

something insane like offensive coordinator won’t happen. TE coach? Or assistant? Why not? You have to start somewhere.

 

[Eightneight]

If MM wins. There will be no JW at HC.

 

[Valkyr]

Let him coach at Tennessee then.

No more of these "get a job because you're buddies with 'ol Jer", I don't care who it is.

 

[nobody]

He's being controversial based on stating facts and his opinion though. Its not like he's saying off the wall stuff he's just not the typical analyst guy. It might work for him.

I can't watch the video and say Scandrick was wrong about anything he said regarding McCarthy. That he'd need to see what staff was chosen (especially defense staff). Heck, he even called Richard maybe coming back and now there's a thread about that.

Regardless of what people think he is or is not, Scandrick doesn't look wrong about this so far.

 

[nightrain]

TBD. Not based upon playing prowess.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Oh nothing has changed. That's been made clear already.

So, Nolan was a Jerry hire? You gotta be kidding. McCarthy actually likes Kellen Moore.

No way of knowing unless somebody speaks about it that's part of the problem here everybody has thoughts but we have no clue if they're even close to being correct or not and that includes me when I post because we just don't know and when we are told are we to believe it?

 

[JMPearson]

Lol 1st of all, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that whatever level you’ve coached at has absolutely nothing to do with the NFL. No reason for you to pretend to know what it does/doesn’t take to be an NFL level coach. 2nd, I’m also willing to go out on a limb and say you don’t know Jason Witten. You also don’t have a clue what kind of coach he would make.

But the main issue is that the point of making a coaching change is to change the culture of the team. Jerry seems dead set on maintaining the status quo Cowboy country club.

Coaching is coaching, relating to players, willing to adapt, putting players in position to succeed, being organized, being honest with you players and have the ability to judge talent.

And if this Witten thing is true, then nothing has changed. I doubt McCarthy is pulling together his staff and the first thing he says is "ya know, I think I am going to hire Jason as my TE coach".

Eh, I think a lot of teams in the NFL would hire Witten as the TE coach. There's really nobody more qualified.

 

[Hadenough]

Oh nothing has changed. That's been made clear already.

That was made clear when Jerry has McCarthy stay at his house.
