Do you Still have Faith in McCarthy?

When you got the 26th worst te in the league at scoring you gotta find a way to get him off the field and get somebody who can score if you gonna avg all the scoring to compete in this ERA

Not disagreeing with your premise of finally changing up Garrett's long held predictability offense.

Just that it's not an entirely new offensive concept that's been done before by far superior players at a much more impressive level of consistency than what this team could ever dream of.

I agree with you in principle, just don't think the players who are running it have the necessary talent to succeed long term.

Just my opinion

Go Cowboys

Don't worry folks. Jerruh is gonna gonna tell big Mike to go 4 wide as standard so Dak can win passing yards title. Mission accomplished.

Like i said that was the best offensive formation we put on the field yesterday against Seattle. We only ran it 6 or 7 times but we picked up a 3rd and 9 on the gamewinning drive, caught a 28 yard pass, and hit Gallop on a bomb for a td. The only negative play was a bad throw by Dak for a pick.

Im not sorry we didnt use 4 wide the whole game but seattle couldnt stop it so the last drive after we picked up the 3rd down we should have stuck with it instead of Schultz. He caught 2 passes on that drive but his lack of big play capability is not what we needed in that situation

Using some dual rb formations and 4 wr formations always seems to get misconstrued in this forum.

Its a mix of different formations and not the set it and forget it everydown scrub te formations that will propel this team. Go back and watch the transition between 4 wide and Dalton shultz. Our offense was 35-40% less potent without that 4th wr yesterday

Are you saying you didn't enjoy the turtle pace on the last drive. You would have preferred the team go with the only thing that works and actually try to win the game? You sir have won me over. Couldn't agree more.

Well Schultz may have a place on this team but we needed a td and somebody w some BIG PLAY POTENTIAL.

Hes apparently not that guy. He was the safety guy when we needed a GAMECHANGER

Any 4th wr or Rb would have been a better option than a checkdown pass to schultz. Like hes really gonna break it and score. Lol.

We shot our wad on that last drive. Dalton Schultz is leading the Comeback??? Not. He can just barely score against poorly coached scrub teams. Lmao.

We saw that yesterday. The key to winning is finding a way to get him off the field when we need a big play or score

ChronicCowboy · Sep 28, 2020

He doesn’t have the personality or gravitas to succeed here imo. Being the head coach of Dallas is more than X’s and O’s.

Then I guess the only real question that remains is what MyFairLady suggested is why go away from what worked?

As the OP title suggests, isn't there enough faith in this HC, with all his so called HC skins on the wall, to have the ability to make the right call?

If you're asking me personally I'm not a believer

Just my opinion

Go Cowboys

uvaballa · Sep 28, 2020

Defense still can’t get a stop when it needs to. That 4th down conversion late was the back breaker.

Prefer a College Coach or NFL Coach with the experience & Potential. Sign a coach like most others do. Someone off a currently High Performing College or NFL Team. It’s a proven method that works.

Yah. That worked pretty well with Chip Kelley and Nick Saban. It doesn't work all the time, but I get the optimism that it brings; not just another retread.

I agree with him 100% about big Mike. Why did he revert back to it when were thriving?

Ya know those are the first 4 wr or te'less formations this team has ever run since witten ran down the field with no helmet. Lol.

Ya have a long long history of a te dominant passing scheme. A guy that doesnt even come out to stay fresh.

All as I can say is that we took baby steps by going 4 wide. Who on Gods Green Earth woulda ever thought the Dallas Cowboys would ever run a 4 wr formation to begin with. Its never happened before. Lol. Jerry and this forum is fixed on that everydown te crap and we got 3rd stringers.

Youd think he go all in w what was working. I would have. I woulda went 4 wide all night w no run game. Lol.

Maybe Jerrys up there calling down to get schulz back in there to win it . lmao. Im not playing. He loves these tes so much he gives them blind snaps and contracts w no proven abilities. Lol

Anybody disturbed at the massive rebound the Packers have had since MM left Green Bay?

McCarthy won 7 and 4 games in his last two seasons in Green Bay.

Since he left, Packers are 16-3 and went to a NFC Championship game.

Makes you wonder....

Why must we always sign these washed up Coaches?

Is it impossible for us to sign a Coach with Potential instead of a Coach who has already reached the peak of his career and is on the downside of it...

McCarthy & Nolan are both Has-Been’s.

Moore is also average Offensive Coordinator. He has incredible talent to play with in our Offense. But still finds a way to screw up. Dak makes him look way better than he actually is.

*One must adhere to the ever watchful eye& particular fashion of yoke/ harness their saddled with once they sign on/avowed fealty to the "BRAND" of which they RIDE&DIE herd over*

It's still very early in his coaching tenure. Gotta cut the guy some slack. It's not like he's been the HC for 9 years.

Until this team gets serious about defense this is what to expect:

Shoot out games where any mistake on offense is doom because the defense sure isn't going to bail them out.

31 wasn't enough to win this week, 38 wouldn't have been enough last week.

You’re 100% correct. Yet so many fans on this forum have only seen a “Jerry-centric” roster where WRs and RBs are the key to success, and DTs and Safeties can be obtained through the washed up, cheap free agent trash heap and somehow expect to win.

All the anger we see about this team after a loss is mostly directed in the wrong place. It needs to be turned squarely on the old man in the owners box, who runs this franchise like his personal fantasy football team with his hapless children.

Earth to Cowboys fans. Frustrated? Look up at the owners box. Stop buying tickets and jerseys if you want some real change.

Nobody was talking about McCarthy as a sought after HC candidate until Peter King published his propaganda piece on how McCarthy formed a shadow coaching staff and became a self made data scientist.

You are right about this. MM was run out of Green Bay because he had become lazy and his offense has become stale. Rogers has said that MM had the lowest football IQ in the league. I was not excited about MM becoming head coach, but I took a wait and see approach and I have seen a lot of things that I don’t like so far.

Garrett was a coach with "potential" who was a hot coaching prospect before he became our head coach.

Considering our injuries and the coaching overhaul, I'm not surprised we are having issues. However, we saw significant improvement in the second half and I'm hopeful to see that continue going forward. I only see maybe three games we won't be favored in our remaining schedule. We can continue improving, win the division, and be playing our best football at the end of the season.

And furthermore...
Some not so popular QB around these parts publicly said that he may not possess the highest football intelligence as a coach.

So I guess there's that...

But yeah, McCarthy made Rodgers, lol. Sarcasm ON

I think teams are 5/5 on 4th down against us this season already. This might be the worst cowboys defense of all time

Point number one is only so many people are going to work for Jerry. That said he might be as good as you are going to do. Hard to judge MM when the GM prioritizes jersey sales when building a roster.

*This is pretty much in the same vein as to what I had attempted to illustrate ,only you carried it across the the finish line in a far better eloquently prosed style of e'lan* :thumbup:

Mike Nolan is a hot mess. There is a reason he was in broadcasting and not coaching. I would love to elevate Jim Tomsula to that position and let him run the entire D. If we go down, I want it to be with him at the helm, not an overrated never was.

I'd pick Edwards over Tomsula.

But both are elite coaches.

Something has to give.

Nolan stinks.

Dorsett33 · Sep 28, 2020

OC and DC may need to go. You can't have an offense like that and not be balanced. You can't have a d-line like that and give Russell or any NFL QB time like that and expect to stop em.

Do you Still have Faith in McCarthy?
