Best HC since JJ and we don't appreciate him

Parcells was terrible at drafting. He basically let his personal affiliation with the Giants affect his ability to coach. Drafting Carpenter as LB in the first round was dumb. Also, trading out of the first round when Steven Jackson, best running back in the draft was a dumb move.

He also wanted to draft Marcus Spears first over Demarcus Ware. Luckily, Jerry stepped in and took him. Otherwise I can see D. Ware playing for another team.

Parcells was good with getting the Cowboys house in order. But when it came to acquire talent and drafting players, he was terrible. The Cowboys was nothing more than Parcell's rehashed Giants team.

Heck, he even forced Mike Zimmer to run a 3-4 defense and scaled down Sean Peyton's playbook.

At least McCarthy let's his assistants doing the dirty work. While Parcells forced his assistants to do it his way.

Thus I think McCarthy is a better coach than Parcells.

OK let's see what he did well?
Romo, T. Newman, Witten, Brady James, Crayton, Barber, Ware, Spears, Kevin Burnett, Canty, Ratliff, Columbo, Fasano, Hatcher.

MM is the best HC we've had since JJ and that's including Parcels that was just collecting a paycheck......I don't get the hate! All coaches make bad calls from time to time. But he has our team ready to play every week. I appreciate MM and think he is doing a great job.

How many times we've heard many fans, especially Dak critics, say all they care about is winning but here we 5-1 and guess what, it's not enough. What's even crazier is many want him fired/replaced but their only issue is a few questionable calls/clock management. The last time I check, there was way more head coaching than game management.

You claim Quincy Carter was pretty good. Really? Why didn't Quincy light up Canadian league or stay in the NFL? Because he sucked!

Just for reference: Parcells went 10-6 with a QB throwing 17 TDs & 21 interceptions.

BTW- catch what Darren Woodson thinks of BP.
You suck....did you light up the league? Lol. Bitter wanna be.

Clearly, I'm personally not a fan of McCarthy. Yeah, he's better than Garrett, but so what? Garrett is a bum too.

Moore controls the offense. Quinn controls the defense. The one thing that we know for sure that McCarthy has full control over is time management, and as you can see from that article I shared, it's something that he has always been horrible at.

Who controls the players?????

I do, I just wish he would delegate time management. Sit back be quiet and win.

Okay, but that's not saying much.

If you bar is "just be better than Jason Garrett, Wade Phillips, and Dave Campo" then your bar is way too low.

You should expect MUCH better than those guys.

Jason Garrett had rookie Dak and Zeke sitting at 5-1 through 6 weeks, but MM is some kind of genius for having Dak and Zeke in their primes at 5-1 through 6 weeks? Again, expect better.
The bar, genius, is he has this team ready to play each week. For the love of God, think......

The comments about him being "dumb" are just comical.

I've listened to pretty much every one of this guy's pressers and interviews this season.
This is not a remotely stupid man.
He seems to have a grasp of all angles of the job--personnel on both sides of the ball, opponent-specific game-planning (imagine that!), intra-game adjustments.....the whole deal.


I won't comment on some of the in-game clock management. If he messes it up, I can tell you, it's not because he has a low IQ.

:laugh:

This may sound crazy, but I think there might be people so unimaginably shallow that they think because he's heavy he's somehow not bright.
Maybe I'm wrong. Talk about ironic....as that bias would be the very definition of "dumb"
Not crazy......sadly true.

Romo was because of Sean Payton. Parcells wasn't a fan of him from the beginning.

I give him credit for T. Newman, Witten and Columbo though.

I give credit to Jerry for getting Ware on this team. Otherwise, Spears would have been our first choice and we would have ended up with Merriman instead.

Brady, Crayton, Canty, Fasano, are all meh players.

Compare that with the draft picks we have with McCarthy.

Lamb, Diggs, Galllimore, Parsons, Odigazoowa, Gholston, Bohana, etc.

“Mike has a low football IQ, and that used to always bother Aaron,” this source says. “He’d say Mike has one of the lowest IQs, if not the lowest IQ, of any coach he’s ever had.” From what we have seen this may not be far off the mark. Maybe he can smash some water melon's and get massages for the team, what a motivator. I will hold judgement to the end of the season, you keep propping him up, it's amazing what a few wins do for some folks.

I am starting to believe in McCarthy. He is a quality coach. Parcels was more than cashing a check. He built that 2007 team that had a chance. The old drunk had to push him out and replace him with Wade Phillips. A career zero as a head coach. Also if dopey Romo doesn’t botch the snap who knows.

Big Mike is way better than Garrett, Wade, Gailey, Switzer and Campo but no way is he Parcells. IMO of course.
