Hire an offensive minded head coach.

Make sure he shows the proper respect to the returning offensive coordinator who will still run the offense.

Jerry Jones, my friends.

We'll see.

If it was my decision McCarthy would be the playcaller.

I don't know how much of a detriment Garrett was to Kellen Moore. I just know I saw great playcalling weeks 1-3 last year and we went to New Orleans and went into a complete shell offensively.

Everything is sunshine right now. We will see if we have a trendy up to date NFL offense soon enough.

Honestly why is week 3 always lumped into this? What was so great about the game vs Miami. Miami stumbled and could have had control of the game there at one point. Dallas also got a break that they played Rosen that week.

Yea I still do not understand this at all.

Would Sean Payton who everyone compares McCarthy to because of record do this? Would payton just come here and go yea sure kellen did a great job. Would Payton had let Dak tell him to keep the OC? Howabout Bruce Arians? Would Arians have come here and just been OK with Moore as the coordinator and play caller?

its just doesn't make any sense and seems like something that is going to be talked about a lot down the road.

The fact that McCarthy still took the job and is pretending that keeping Moore was his preference makes me lose respect for him.

LOL...………..Complete dig on Garrett. Pretty much, just about every way that Garrett ran the team was wrong. Sad. 10 years. Wasted careers.

I actually applaud him for doing it. Its obvious to me that Moore is one of the up and coming great young minds in the NFL for offense. Controlling the offense all on his own was an issue at his last post. For him to learn from his mistakes and do the right thing for the team is impressive.

Clearly Garrett fought everything and there was problems and fiefdoms all throughout the coaching staff.

Maybe MM saying if we don't improve it is on KM not me..( knowing Jerry is the one asked him to keep KM)

Uh...yeah.

It’s all about what Jerry wants. Moore is a reminder who’s still running Cowboys Football.

There’s been one constant the last 25 years thru how many HC’s. And he’s still here . Mandating Moore was a condition of hire just another example . And it doesn’t matter if Mike likes him or not.

Yep

That was a condition of employment from the little sleep over.

I have nothing against Mikey. My issues all rest with Jethro.

_sturt_ · Sep 2, 2020

This bothers me.

I get it that he wants to promote a cordial, respectful staff. I feel the same with the people who work under me. But there's a hint in the way he said this that seems to step just beyond that, and it feels like he may be giving KM a bit too much credit as-if he's someone who's earned latitude that he really cannot have earned. One can delegate, and at the same time be assertive, and at the same time be respectful. The assertive part is missing in that statement. My guess is that players crave/expect assertiveness from their head coach even more than for him to be someone they like.

Should’ve just made Moore the HC, then. Team doesn’t need another walk around do nothing HC.

So head coaches that don't call their own plays are "do nothing"?

Of course, he will say something about good about Kellen. What do you expect him to say?

Action speaks louder than words though. I have no doubt that Garrett probably took playcalling back because Kellen was getting too much of the credit.

Garrett couldn't have that. Doesn't look good for his coaching tenure.

McCarthy is playing along for now but I don't think this experiment works in end. Let guy who has a ring on his finger run the entire operation. If Dallas is somehow .500 at mid-season look for McCarthy to take over play calling.

cern · Sep 3, 2020

mac's in charge of the offense, not moore. if you don't get it, you may not be quite as astute as you think. jerry's on the outside looking in. stephen is at the helm now when it comes to coaches, personnel, and contracts. jerry signs the checks, but not personally. he has a machine for that.

some seem to think so. jimmy johnson didn't call his own plays. he brought in david shula. shula failed and got fired immediately. then jimmy brought in norv turner. rest is history.

There were some poorly called games and end games. I can believe it was all Garrett, but if not, I want to see McCarthy step on some toes.

He's got much more experience than Moore. I hope he's giving Moore a lot of input, an overrules him if he gets dumb.

If MM needs to give Moore alot of input then wrong guy is calling the plays. I mean whats the point of MM coaching up Moore as OC. The only way Moore should be in this position of being OC with Super Bowl winning HC/OC now running the show is that Moore has different more innovative lean than MM. If Dallas doesn't come out gate strong this is going to become major talking point nationally and locally because it doesn't smell right.

DuncanIso · Sep 3, 2020

Jerry didn’t want big Mike messing up the offense, like he did in GB.

ARodgers hated big Mike. Everyone knows it was a toxic relationship.

Mike was allowed to hire his best friend Nolan to be DC, which is an experiment on its own.

Philbin is the de facto OC in hiding, which cost us MColombo.

KMoore better watch his back. He has enemies.
