What do the candidates truly think of Dak?

Whoever the next coach is, they have to be ok with Dak Prescott as the quarterback.

That's got to be a big part of the interview process. Some coaches are really hard on their quarterbacks. They need a certain type to run their offense. Otherwise, they have to strip it down, which castrates them as effective playcallers.

If Dallas chooses an offensive guy, he's got to believe Dak can run what he wants. That is crucial.

That's why a defensive-minded coach is likely the ticket. Let Kellen Moore stay as OC and handle that. Get a tough defensive motivator type. LSU took that approach when Coach O hired the Saints passing coordinator for Joe Burrow.

If you go offensive, the new guy has to accept Dak. How many if them might want another option, such as a first-round pick to compete? Would Jerry tolerate that?

I wonder what Riley, Meyer, or any other candidates think about that situation.

It makes a strong case for the Ron Rivera type. He knows what it's like to have a limited passer at QB. If course, Cam could run.

That wouldn't excite me, but it makes sense.

This is an intricate hire coming.

Only moronic fans have an issue with Dak.

ALL coaches would love to have Dak and this roster as a base to build from.

I honestly think this is the biggest delay in the contract negotiations, at least in terms of the FO's perspective. QB contracts are complicated, but if they wanted it done, it would've been done by now.

Jerry and Stephen were wise not to sign Dak to a long term deal for this reason. I always said that Jason and Dak's wagons were hitched together.
Dak has shown his true self when the games got tough, and his poor play can be directly linked to the Cowboys losses.
He gets erratic and panics and cost the Cowboys drives, possessions, and points.
I think the next coach will need a quarterback first.

That is absurd, the defense has been terrible in every loss but the Pats in a Tsunami and vs NO without Brees.

Pretty much every time the offense gets momentum the defense turns around and gives it back the next possession.

I'm ready to move away from the set "Process" type coaches. I want somebody who can adapt & figure out how to win with whatever he has on the field.

That aside say none of the candidates want Dak? What are the realistic options? I also don't want some pie in the sky dreamer directing the team.

Well, since he leads the league in almost every category he's probably a big drawing card for any future head coach.

And he's done this by himself and now kitna is there to help but before he had no real mentor to help him.

Dak should not be re-signed without the input from the next head coach. There is a chance a QB could be a first round target should the Cowboys lose out .

While I agree with this, my guess is Jerry will only hire a new coach that wants to keep dak.

Dak is young, extremely committed and has assumed an intense work ethic.

I'm thinking very few coaches would have a problem accepting his presence.

Quarterbacks owning those characteristics are desirable to build success on.

What a ridiculous post.. we just had 10 years of failure with Garrett and you want another learn on the job guy with Moore and another ten year under-achiever with Rivera

Wrong, it is more like some bad plays calls at the wrong times, as well as stupid penalties killed many many drives. More so the penalties.
Also this team do not deem to handle blitzes this year as in the past.

Defense and ST's sure doesn't help, Dallas is last in the NFL in starting field position.

As well as a new HC rather better on O or D, must accept the QB they inherit. Not too many times will a new HC get to come in and say, I want this QB not the one you have. Not because they don't believe in them, but because a contract is already in place, especially if a high pick. Now if the QB totally stinks, then it is a bit different, however the new HC still may have to wait a year or so to get his own QB type.

Dak does not stink, he just has a few bad games, or bad series more like it. But to our own fans they are more critical of a bad pass over another teams QB's bad pass.

The FO has an upper limit on what they think Dak is worth, and they have made the offer. Its Dak insistence on being the top paid QB in NFL history thats slowing things up. He's going to get a franchise tag.

that he’s the best QB in the league! Put this guy in the right system and Pat Mahomes would be an afterthought

Cowboys would be no worse than 8-5 if Scott Linehan were still here

Full season of Coop
Gallup development
Cobb addition

Typical Garrett he doesn’t know how to call a game. He doesn’t know how to mesh the run and pass. And just like 2011-13, he gives up on the run way too quick

it’s ridiculous how much Dak has passed the ball since the bye

in Garrett system the teams success is 100% dependent on the QB right arm. You can’t win like that in this league. Dak isn’t Peyton Manning. Neither was Tony Romo.

I personally hope they let Dak walk! So I can go root for that team, then I can root against the Cowboys in every game they play!

best place for Dak: Jon Gruden

A lot of HC’s would see his incurable tangibles. Accuracy, throwing behind receivers, severe panicking under pressure, etc. he has a good work ethic, but sometimes, that is not enough. If I were Riley, Urban, or whoever else we plan on going for as QB, I’d request to tag Dak and bring in competition for Dak. If Dak stinks it up again, release him or make him take 15-20 mil a year. If he lights it up, great, keep him, and let’s the rookie QB sit under him and develop behind the scenes.

Dak is like Teddy Bridgewater IMO. A solid starter, but a better backup.
