the one thing the head-coach has in his control is what happens on the sidelines....in-game decisions....play calls....substitutions,etc....he may not have complete control on personnel...but on game day...on that sideline...it's his show.
that was lacking with garrett...his in game decisions were piss poor at best.
i think Big Mc will coach every last second outta'm.....and in-game decisions are back in business round the ranch.
i will also add...Big Mc said he would have more say here on personnel matters than he did in green bay...i think his era brings a new day round here.
he will take full advantage of what he does control.....game plans,adjustments,schemes,substitutions,in-game decisions,half-time adjustments,etc.
he has full control there.
and i think he is better equipped to know how to use it.

Honestly as a chef myself, I’m excited for McCarthy. How he’s handled things after Garrett is almost exactly how my first job as a sous chef went. My first job as a sous, I worked under a guy, that I compare to Garrett, in that, he had all this education, but none of the actual experience of being an executive chef. Dude would bend over backwards for the owners and it would affect the whole staff negatively, he wanted things done his way, even though there were better methods, tried to be new and original but the menu items he’d put out were just dull re plating of a dish.
Dude ended up getting fired. Bring in this next chef, who worked in a James Beard award winning restaurant, had years of experience running successful kitchens, and most importantly we could all relate to him. By the time he came in, I was already 2 years into being a sous, during that time I was also picking up a lot of extra work to help the last guy out. But man, once he got in, work became fun again, I was learning new things, the whole staff went from about to walk out to now, they’d run through a wall for the chef. Things became smoother
I do compare that chef to McCarthy. Though one is a Pittsburgh guy and my chef was a Penn State guy. Almost in the same way I’ve seen McCarthy do, he got the owners on his side, because they were confident he knew his stuff. There were no favorites when he came in. All he told me when he came in was that all he wants from everyone is for them to do their job. And we did. That chef still checks up on me to this day, and he was my favorite chef to work under. I know cooking and the NFL are vastly different careers, but when you get a guy like that to work under, it brings out the best in you. And that’s what I’m hoping for, for the cowboys

OMG, we are gonna have an ongoing thing about his weight!I always heard many cooks do not eat their own meals, but in this case I think Mike is the exception.

It is difficult to blame the chef in the kitchen when the owner screws with the menu. What other GM announces the daily specials (injuries, who's in/who's out) instead of the chef?

Remember that infamous play when a Rice football player came off the bench to tackle an Alabama player running down the sideline? MM would have him for a snack.I always heard many cooks do not eat their own meals, but in this case I think Mike is the exception.

Right idea, wrong cliche.
Pure and complete dysfunction from the top down is the actual answer.
Garrett was supposed to be the guy to keep the football part of things in a certain direction, but the fact that he didnt have a clue how to do that coupled with Jerry's undermining made it a disaster.
Throw stubbornness on top and there goes a decade.
We are all hoping beyond hope that MM is the guy to fix this, but I dont at all trust Jerry to not stick his face in.
He cant help himself and still swears that more of him is a good thing.
The only chance we have is if a culture is created where the players see the HC as in charge.
Jerry hasn't a clue that things like speaking to the team before the HC does after game or at the half makes the players completely lose respect for the HC and makes the job that much more difficult.
I'm excited about the team, but I cant help but think Jerry is going to ruin a good thing.

Oh and you cant have your star DE telling rookies not to worry about the HC, Jerry is really in charge.
The way to fix that isnt telling him to shut his mouth, it's to fix that culture.
In order to do that, Jerry has to let it happen.
Who is confident that'll happen?

i have no problems with having the more respectable offensive minds that's already on my staff in the
kitchen - giving the HC and OC " suggestions " and fresh ideas, designs and input. It is then up to the HC and OC to make evaluations and choice decisions to what suggestions and idea options to input into the game day scheme.
- heck, it was the input of respectable minds on the staff that finally got Prescott going strong in the last 3 games of the season in 2018 -that including getting ball out of throwing hand in pocket, scrambling, not taking sacks, quicker read progressions, etc.
- Not taking in suggestions and fresher ideas, that was supposedly one of the failings of ex-OC Scott Linehan. he was not open to suggestions, until dire situations pushed him to try in a limited capacity.
Who knows - It probably became an ego thing -
He probably could have been so set in his own ways and thinking that made him content to stay in his comfort mode, leading that much more into bland, predictable repeated plays and designs - and we know the final ending to Linehan's demise.
- With Garrett, maybe just me, but i don't and never really regarded him as a well regarded offensive mind.
All he seems to know is 90's Cowboys offense: rhythm time based and smash ground game.
in terms of route scheme-design, making adjusting in game, adapting to new age era of offense, i thought
he was always out of synch, out-dated and depended so greatly upon his OC's to deliver than he himself
making his presence and supposed expertise felt. He clearly banked upon whatever Linehan, Kellen could
come up with.

Jimmy built the team from the laughingstock of the league into champions with ridiculous depth that was the youngest team in the league.
We all know who refused to share the toy thereafter.
Hint: he is still playing with it.

That should have been an injury default as DT Sheriff Floyd never had the chance to prove whether
or not would have had an impact in the NFL.
Ironic how both draftees Fredrick and Sheriff in consideration for Cowboys in that draft class year, were forced to retire because of injuries and medical issues.

If that is the only thing you got out of that, then yeah go ahead call Jimmy the better coach, but without Jimmy, I think the vast majority of us would still be die hard fans of the Cowboys. We would still retain the glory of what makes this team America's Team.
Without Landry..... We would just be another team.

Funny thing here in NY, they are excited to have Garrett as their OC.
