Well said.
Thus far the evidence tells me Jerry didn’t want to do this which is concerning. My guess is he’ll be lurking waiting to insert himself. But you’re right , we don’t know yet.
Is the evidence you are referring to things from years past (TO, Rob Ryan, Greg Hardy) or are you referring to things that have happened since the McCarthy hire?
If it’s the former, that’s not really “evidence”, but more like previous history that might reasonably inform your current position
If it’s the latter, then I’m genuinely curious to know what you are referring to.
He hired the guy
The guy he hired has fired the entire coaching staff with the exception of Moore, who MM had already planned on acquiring wherever he became HC and Nussmeier, who I’m guessing is more Kellen Moore’s “hire” than McCarthy.
We know Jerry was really high on several members of the old staff and, like every GM, asked the new HC to at least consider retaining them, but it looks like MM thought about it for a couple of minutes and then fired them all.
We haven’t made any personnel decisions, so no evidence there.
McClay is running the scouting and senior bowl visits but I’m not sure that could be considered evidence of Jerry “inserting himself”,
So, if this is a “I touched a hot stove once and still give it a cautious eye when I’m in the kitchen” type of thing, then I get that. I do hope, for the sake of for your own Cowboys enjoyment, that old burn doesn’t limit your optimism for a new season and a new era.
