What makes you think JG was good at Mon-Sat? Because Broaddus said so? If JG was good coach Mon-Sat, this team wouldn't be so unprepared or has all those slow starts. The way the team looked unprepared indicates the team didn't practice well through out the week. That's on the coaches and mainly on the HC.


It’s just my opinion but I always felt the team was organized, worked hard, did things the right way under Garrett. They just couldn’t overcome his middle school offensive schemes as hard as they tried and his lack of foresight with absolutely no ability to adjust.

I am not a Garrett fan at all as most of you know but I do feel like he could make one heck of an itinerary.

The thing I am most disturbed about is Jerry knew all season their was a chance he would be replacing JG at the end of the season.
If he needs to speak to 10 guys to figure out which guy is the best coach then we are in trouble. Jerry isnt looking for the best coach. He is looking for his next gawd damn best friend.

This is why its a long shot to get a strong leader of men type like Meyer or Harbaugh.
Rhule is a leader who brings his own staff who are loyal to him so he's out.

Jerry only wants to win if he can still sit in the coaches meetings and play coach. He isnt looking for what we are. He is looking for another puppet who will let him play his little power trip games 5 days per week.

This isnt going to end well folks.

Yep.

If they have serious interest in a McCarthy type then it just proves to me that they care more about the good ole boy system that the NFL uses when it comes to these retreads looking for a job.

Since nobody will touch Jeff Fisher the Cowboys can bring back another good ole boy that’s out of the league in McCarthy.

The Cowboys love coaches that are terrible at scheming offenses and still want to remain 100% talent dependent because in 2019 they still think the game is all about talent when in reality most of these teams are equal and QB play and coaching are at an all time premium.


We’re about to give a mediocre QB elite QB money and give a bottom tier coach a Head coaching position. Geeee... I wonder what we should expect...

Nope..

Belichick has a winning record in New England with his backups and he constantly won championships with his 6th round QB.

Big difference.

Belichick maximizes talent. Guys like McCarthy and Garrett rely on it.

So the best way to judge a coach is how well he does when his HOF QB is injured? Seems arbitrary to choose that metric rather than the actual success he achieved over the course of his career, with or without star players

I do like to know how coaches do when everything isn’t perfect.

That is a team that invested in their backup QBs too.

Look at how Sean Payton did without Brees.

Also, I’d like a coach that wasn’t criticized for their work ethic and lack of football knowledge.

Man, this would be a crap hire. Low football IQ and lazy is the exact type of coach Jerry can control.

I think we would still be one of the most under coached teams on game day.

Chris Simms said he thinks McCarthy would be good here but also says Dallas and GB have been 2 of the worst teams schematically.

He says he’s spent more time figuring out what he wants to do as a program then offensively.

Jason Garrett had that part down. We need to be better on Sundays.

That whole part around 24:30 bothers me.


Just watch this interview. I’m not hiring this guy for this position. No upside.







Go to 1:35 in this video.

It talks about Aaron Rodgers believing that McCarthy has one of the lowest football IQs that he has been around and how he has to bail the offense out.



So kinda like t.romo did inside garrets offense scheme for years....the former cowboys wr nailed it....romo ran the room, and it was his scheme in the huddle. Can see it also as he announces

Marvin Lewis giving advice??? that's says it all
to me big NO to Mike.Josh or Marvin
What advise was he being asked?

There are very few, if any, people alive that know defense like Marv Lewis. If Marv Lewis is giving you advise about defense, you listen.

Well, I'd prefer another coach to McCarthy too. But I'm skeptical of criticisms directly from Rodgers, a noted prick.

He might be good as a position coach but as a HC not so much his 16 years result speaks for itself .

I think it's funny we've finally jettisoned Garrett, he of 3 playoff appearances in 10 years, and we're acting like a former Super Bowl winning coach with 8 straight playoff appearances isn't good enough for us.

Reality is, every coach has weaknesses and we can nitpick them till the cows come home, especially the experienced ones. But that doesn't mean they're not a significant improvement over JG.

the improvement over Garrett is a given, but hardly the bar. No one is comparing him to a Garrett when criticizing, they’re looking at literally every possible candidate and fantasizing

Im not talking about him as a head coach. When you say giving advise, my question is what advise is he giving.

If you think you tune out Marv Lewis's advise in defense, then you lose credibility. He is the architect of probably the best defense ever. And the architect of a schemes that have been used successfully by everyone from Rex Ryan to Bill Billicheck. The defense Billicheck has run in NE since he has been HC is basically a version of Lewis hybrid defense. His head coaching record is what it is, but Marv Lewis isnt a guy you ignore when talking defense

The Packers have had some talented teams, probably the most talented QB of all time, and a division that is not that good.

I don’t give McCarthy much credit for being decent under those circumstances and the new coach is doing the same thing.

And how much credit should Sean Payton get in New Orleans?

I am in for him as position coach will be great for us but he might want to be a HC. Maybe Jerry will just change coordinators and reboot the staff.

Im torn on him as a DC. Been a very long time since he coordinated a defense. He did early on in Cincy, but then he turned it over to Zimmer and become more of a CEO coach. His HC parallels Garretts in alot of ways. The difference in them however, is that Lewis was one of the greatest coordinators ever. Garrett was a sup par OC.

More than anything, I dont like the thought of a coordinator being forced on a coach. Im hoping Lewis was more of a brain picking session more than an actual interview. If you are just picking his brain, Lewis is someone you listen too. Billicheck is his contemporary as a DC, and Billicheck abandoned is Parcells style 3-4 for Lewis's hybrid. That says alot

The longer this drag I have a feeling JG is staying but with new coordinators.
