I have been chipping away at this McCarthy hire and a lot of you out there are starting to do the same.
Back when Garrett was hired it was an attempt to return to the Jimster days of Johnson thru hiring an obscure backup QB in Garrett that Jerrah could control.
Back when Parcells was hired Jones was trying to have Parcells establish a foundation that would re-invent Cowboy football based on NY Giant football.
When Phillips was hired Jones was trying to draw on Phillips and his HC experience in the AFC divisions and inject it into his team.
Which brings us to the McCarthy era.
That's my problem and possibly yours.
We all know Jerrah is searching for some of that old time Packer football into our Cowboys. His coach has exclusively hired former coaches that served under him to Jack up a failing football team.
Witten wanted to get hired to coach and Mike did not want him so he is playing in Oakland.
Dez wanted to return and play but Mike didn't want him so Dez had to keep looking.
This indicated to me McCarthy wanted no part of former Cowboys but then does a Crazy Ivan and rehired Moore as his OC and we all see the results.
So my main question is culture.
As far as you guys see things..not me..but you..
What is this culture we are looking for with McCarthy?
Earlier this season McCarthy cut 3 players who were under-performing and we all agree they had been mistakes.
There was also Haha Clnton Dix and McCoy who were cut or failed physically after paying McCoy $3.5 mil just for signing knowing he had potential injury liabilities.
So from a culture standpoint what are we doing?
What is the basic fundamental principles are we looking for with McCarthy?
Can we recognize them if they appear?
If they don't appear how long will McCarthy be allowed to get it done?
My concern is that from what I have seen so far this team does not seem to buy in to the McCarthy culture.
There is heavy push back against Big Mike at this point.
The watermelon smashing prank was interesting and the Vikes fell the next week.
Then came the Washington Whatever's and we got routed and embarrassed.
So I want to hear what you guys are thinking.
Is this going to work with McCarthy? Is anything improving after 11 games?
If not..what then?
