Like everyone, including Jerry, I should wait till next week, but here are my suggestions.

  • Fire McCarthy. I’ve been a fan all year because it looked like he had a plan, but the penalties, especially the dumb ones, are addressable, but they got worse and worse. Next head coach gets the directives to hold players accountable for all dumb penalties and build discipline while also insisting on a stronger commitment to the running game all season as preparation for the playoffs. He never dictated that Moore develop and commit to the run game, which has little imagination or fit with our OL skills. That’s on him.
  • I love Quinn, but I’m not reducing his role by making him head coach. Throw money or asst head coach title to keep him, but if he walks, we have two guys on staff capable of taking over and Fangio is available.

  • Fire Moore. It’s clear to me that he cannot design and coach a run scheme. His genius is the passing game, but even there, he is more focused on his X’s and O’s than on what Dak and the receivers do best….which routes have they mastered? Which routes do they win consistently on individually? Which routes does Dak see and execute best? Don’t make them fit your scheme…design your scheme around their strengths and comfort. Norv Turner didn’t look at 3rd down and try to trick the defense. He knew Irvin would win on the slant and Aikman loved that throw. Dallas will never develop a run game and the toughness that comes with it under Moore.

  • Interview Eric Bieniemy for head coach/play caller. He has been great before and since Mahommes with the passing game, yet he still schemes an effective run game as a former RB.

  • Interview and consider bringing Todd Bowles back to Dallas as head coach. I think Bowles or Bieniemy would be an improvement and bring discipline and toughness to this team.

Free agency and draft. I do all reasonable to keep Kearse, Shultz, Wilson.
I look for improve the interior OL, DL, and add at least 2 LBers even if I keep LVE. I find a run thumper even if he’s only a 2-down LB because there will be games when that guy is essential.
I try to bring back Urban. We were better against the run before losing him.

How much of KC offense is Bieniemy and how much is Andy Ried? A lot of Belichecks deciples fail because they aren't Belicheck.

I am okay with most of this. They just need a coach who will instill discipline and a winning attitude in this team. Players who do not have good discipline on the field should be moved out.

I was very disappointed with both Gregory and Diggs yesterday. They can be such good players but the lack of discipline by bother players results in big plays that hurt the team.

Get rid of anyone that still assumes and is committed to an offense that must score 35-40 points a game. We don't need that right now. Defense is on a trajectory to be in the range of 21-24 allowed a game. A balanced offense that is based on 28-30 points a game and includes a run game that is playoff worthy is enough and much less fragile.

When your team comes out like that and sets records for most penalties its coaching and players and they need to be replaced

Jimmy used to say he was very hard on the team in practice because he knew you play the way you practice. The fact many on this team, especially the OL and DB, cause stupid penalties is because they are not held accountable at practice or disciplined for the stupid things they do in practice.

Getting Moore out of here is priority #1. He is in over his head and has no clue how to scheme a gameplan towards a specific defense. I wonder if his not being able to read a defense as a pro QB is effecting his ability to prepare and adjust to opponents.

The guy needs to go but I don’t think any team(aside from Dallas) is stupid enough to give him the keys as a HC.

Just have a good draft.
Hope to make back to back playoff appearances
Hope a lot of our free agents get paid big money in FA
Have another good big draft in 2023 with our comps
Hope that 2024 is the year we can make some noise.

Amen bud. Just let him walk Jerry. Let the Jags get a heavy dose of him lol. The Boise state playbook and the dipsy doo doesn't work.
