So with the normal GMs penchant for being ultra conservative, one is going to put his job and reputation on the line to hire a defensive backs coach, who failed at his only attempt at being a coordinator as the head coach. I'm sure plenty of people will be willing to give him a dc position but I have a difficult time seeing that!Been saying if there are more than 4 head coach openings he has a real shot at getting one. As of today, looks like there could be a min 6 ( Browns, Packers, Buc, Broncos, Cardinals, Jets, Jags) plus an annual surprised opening. Not to mention, a rumor out there that McCarthy may take a year off before coaching again.

The annual coaching carousel soon will spin, and the league has been working to compile a list of recommended candidates for the looming array of vacancies.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the first tier of coaching candidates consists, in no particular order, of Cowboys defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Kris Richard, Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt (a two-time former head coach), Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak (former coach of the Titans), Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels (former Broncos head coach), former Packers coach Mike McCarthy, Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores, and former Colts and Lions coach Jim Caldwell.
Prior to Oakland's inbecillic contract to Gruden, the highest paid NFL coaches were Belicheck and Carroll at 6m per year. Garret makes 5m. Linehan and Marinelli are 2 of the highest paid coordinators at 1m per year. Opening his wallet has never been the issue!Open up your wallet Jerry!
He was fist fighting before the Philly game he loves working in the Jerry circusIf Richard is smart he'l bolt the first chance he gets and distance himself from the Jerry circus. Its bad enough he's had to answer to that incompetent he has as a HC this season.
With Jerry's money, we don't lose Richard unless he wants to leave. Jerry has already shown he will pay a coordinator HC money.
I doubt it. He’ll likely be the Dallas DC next season.
Dude just got fired from a DC position last year.
Much ado about nothing, in all likelihood. Nice panic job though.
Richard is Tier 1 head coaching candidate by advisory board. Garrett survives by making the playoffs. So the dream of Richard replacing him is likely dead. Richard will be head coaching another team in 2019 and we’re stuck with the Clapper for another year (or decade). Shoot me now.

So you talked to Coach Richard about what motivates him? No, you did not and we are not talking about what motivates "most" coaches, we are specifically talking about one dude, Coach Richard. He is close to this bunch of guys and will be inheriting the DC job and will be the heir apparent for the HC job in Dallas which is a very special deal. Get out of here with you generalities and get with what we are specifically talking about with this one guy. Jerry will not let him go.It's not always about the money. Most coaches dream of being head coaches in the NFL someday.
There's no salary cap on coaches.
Jerry will throw the bank at Richard I would guess and promote him to defensive coordinator.
It's not always about the money. Most coaches dream of being head coaches in the NFL someday.
Let's scale it down a bit in regard to Richard.
Maybe for once it is because Marinelli actually has some real talent to utilize in the front seven. This defense wins on the LOS and getting heat on the QB. Our LB play has been out of this world....that isn't due to Richard, that is on Ben Bloom. In the secondary, Byron Jones has made a huge change...but there are a lot of people saying he never should have been a S at all. Other than him, what secondary member has excelled? Awuzie has been spotty and was everyone's target early on. Brown is on and off the whipping post. Jourdan Lewis couldn't get on the field for half the year. Jeff Heath has been same guy as past few years Xavier Woods is developing but still is spotty.
It could easily be argued that the secondary is still the weak link of our defense.
I don't either. I just don't think he gets offered that deal. Whoever needs a head coach is a organization in disarray so whoever that coach is more than likely has to be in charge of personnel too. If he's offered a head coaching job....I believe he takes it. But to go from a DB coach to Head Coach....seems far fetched to me.I don't know, but if he does get an offer then I don't see anyway he turns it down even if he gets offered the DC position here.
Pretty damn good, according to the advisory committee
He interviewed for the Colts head coaching job before he came to Dallas.
