I think Riley is our coach if we move on from McCarthy.

Whats interesting to me is what is McCarthy's threshold for keeping his job. Will he need a strong 2021, or will they give him 3 years? How far in the playoffs does he have to get.

People will say we won't fire him because we held on to Garrett for so long. I don't see it though

How does anyone get he would only be interested in the Cowboys from that? He has never said anything but that he would like to coach in the NFL someday, never mentioned one team. That moron assumes that because he was linked to the Cowboys job last year and never interviewed for it. I've never thought much of him as a reporter but that is just stupid.

Yep, Jerry is getting older. He doesn't have the time to mess around. I'd only give him another 30-40 years.

I liked Lincoln.

Never understood why Jerry is so reluctant to hire from the college ranks now. He did it twice and won 3 Super Bowls.

Probably afraid a younger coach would challenge his culture and involvement in operations.

When he didn't re-sign Garrett, he said upfront he was only interested in a vet NFL coach because he thought his team's window was open. I don't think he ever considered Meyer, Riley or Rhule. In his mind, and this is where it gets really scary, he didn't feel he had the time to train another HC.
