If you think Jerry is going to fire anybody after this bizarre season with enough excuses for failure to cover 4 or 5 season then you simply have not been paying attention. Jerry gave Chan Gailey two seasons .. he gave Dave Campo three.. he gave Wade 3 and a half.. and he gave Garrett 9 and a half. If you have not figured out that loyalty and stubbornness are two of Jerry's strongest traits you've been watching the wrong team. The entire coaching staff will be back next year.. Period. Now if the defense starts out looking like it did they first 7 games of this season Nolan is gone.. and if the offense continues to shift into 5 wide empty backfield inside the 10 yard line Moore won't be far behind.

Possibly Nolan, although I would bet against it. No way with McCarthy. Firing a head coach after one season under such bizarre circumstances would not be viewed favorably by the coaching community, including potential successors.

i would agree concerning HC if the issue was Covid and Injuries...but its not that....HC co-signs off on Stupid...these 4th down play calls including fake punts that fake no one out....can understand once or twice but its a regular sad theme

I might sound crazy and I don’t know what Belichick would do with this roster but I bet he would make our defense a top 10 unit next season. The one thing I believe is he would take advantage of the edge rushers and cause havoc.

I imagine most would disagree with your take that Covid and injuries haven't played a huge factor in the Cowboys failure this year. I think any reasonable person would have to admit that, even if they feel McCarthy hasn't done a good job. .

Yes, there have been questionable calls, and McCarthy can certainly be questioned. But are those calls really more of a problem than Covid and injuries, and would some even have been make if not in the midst of a season in turmoil from Covid and injuries?

For example, in a game lost by 25 points, is that fake punt really the overriding problem? While I agree that was a very poor choice by the coaching staff, I would suggest losing both starting OTs in the 1st half was a much bigger problem, and playing most of the season with back up QBs, and 3-4 back up players on the O-line was a bigger problem.

Ultimately, even if McCarthy is more the culprit, you have to play it out more than one bizarre season and give it a chance under normal circumstances before making that decisioin. I'm confident any potential successor to McCarthy would agree with that..

You hear it a lot on the forums and I'm sure some ranting on social media about firing this guy or that, cutting this player or that. I think in this situation the HC, OC, DC and SP coaches will all be hear to get a fair shake at a full offseason if we don't have to go through all of this again. You might see a position coach change, but I think it would be best to give a full offseason and year. Health is our biggest factor with regard to talent on the field. If we get the playmakers back we're missing we'll automatically be a better team.

You said the issue was not Covid or injuries, and I don't think you can separate that out from the whole of the failure. In a season where so many things have gone wrong, and everything is turned on it's head, calls we don't agree with will be magnified. In a normal season there still may be bad calls - with any team or coach - but the overall product may be solid and those calls do not get magnified. That's my point. I think any coach would expect to be given a chance under more normal circumstances, and I think any coach would be leery of a team that doesn't allow that. And I think Jerry will feel that way as well.

Not a chance IMO. Do issues go beyond Covid and injuries? Maybe and maybe not, as none of us are privy of what is happening in the lockerroom or with the staff or the relationship between the Jones and McCarthy. Will Dallas win another game this year? Who really knows with the Covid situation and other injuries, heck I'm not even sure the NFL will finish the season the way things are going.

The problem is that I am also not sure the Giants will win another game nor the Eagles or the Football Team either. I could see all the NFC East losing every non division game and quite easily which means it will come down to division games. How bad is Jones hamstring, how bad is Alex Smith calf problem (if it is even a problem), and how much worse can Wentz play. Heck all the rest of the NFC East games against each other could be 3-0 contests. Sad, Sad, Sad.

No one fires a coach after 1 season, especially a weird season like 2020 with no time to put in systems and practice and play preseason games to even see what players are good at in the system. Not to mention the horrendous injuries we have had. You could hand pick your coach, even Bill Belichick or Andy Reid, and no way in hell this team finishes 8-8.
