Interesting. So other teams think it’s the meddling owner/GM who is the ultimate problem. Not that surprising.

All the time, crappy teams hire crappy coaches and keep them around to tease their fans with "close but not quite".

I know this is true because i'm a Dallas fan.

Browns
Dolphins
Jets
Bengals
Tampa Bay
Cardinals**
Green Bay**

Last two are questionable but the Cowboys have had more success over the last several seasons than the first four listed here. Y'all can make fun of Jerry all you want, but he would absolutely have been a consideration for those teams. And that isn't considering college.

Now, the difference here is that if he lost his job right now, those have mostly been filled. But there is zero doubt he'd find a job next year.
Yup. Fans that don;t pay attention to the market and who gets hired are missing the forest for the trees.

In a weird NFL coach re-draft JG would land in the top 10 though likely near the bottom of it.
There aren't 32 real starting QBs and there aren't 32 real NFL head coaches.

Would JG have gotten 5 offers? No. Because he would have gotten and taken one of a couple offers right away as a prime candidate.
Dolphins and/or Jets seem very likely given his history.

McCarthy has had far and away more success than Garrett as a head coach. Now, having Aaron Rodgers helps, but he was also part of the development of Rodgers
Friends with a bunch of packer fans, and they complain about the same things as we do with Garrett. Bad clock management, bad play calling.

No question but wasn't the issue. The issue was the poster saying implying McCarty would have more success getting coaching offers that Garrett. One surface that may seem true but after he was fired a few in NFL circles pointed out how his WCO offense was simplest of any out there. Defensive coor mention how easy it was to defend. Also, the Browns FO have at least 3 former Packer administrator yet they wanted nothing to do with him. BTW......even the job he wanted real bad (Jets ) decided to go another direction.
Good points.

If McCarthy's offense is considered stale and easy to defend, what does that make ours? :laugh::banghead:

Oh no question, not perfect. But the record/results speak for themselves. He's not Belichick, but he looks pretty good when compared to Garrett.

What Garrett has been able to accomplish with the albatross of Jerry around his neck just might actually be impressive.

Jerry gave him full control of the offense for 7 years, including allowing Jason to hire his brother as TE coach and then promote him to passing game coordinator in one year. Jerry had to finally force changes in this regard from on top.

Jerry gave him the biggest leash available and if anything, Jerry’s undying love and romance with Jason Garrett has ruined this franchise for years. Now Jerry keeps the scherade alive that Garrett is behind a lot of this team, when guys like McClay care in and revamped the defense. Marinelli being here is really a product of Lacewell telling him to bring in Kiffen as well.

I would like to see a poll asking the fan bases of these teams if they want JG as their next HC.............Im sure he would still get interviews but Im not so sure those fans would be as excited.
