Yeah this rates fairly high on my BS detector.I don't buy this BS from Glazer and how he made this happen. If the Jones had their mind made up to bring in Zimmer and go defense and keep the offensive staff. Though it sounds like something they would do, that is what they would have done.
Remember he hired Wade because he wanted a 3-4 defensive minded coach, so that is what Jerry did. So I believe he knows he needed to completely change and clean house, but not because some "insider" convinced him otherwise.
Leader of Men, and formulate the attitude of your team is not the big M&M...that description is of Urban "Legend" Meyer.“Originally the Cowboys owners wanted a defensive coach because they wanted to keep the offensive staff,” Glazer said on Radio Row at the Super Bowl. “I’m like, don’t do that, guys. And I talk to the Joneses about it. I said don’t do that. You get yourself in trouble that way. Get a leader of men. Get a guy who’s going to formulate the attitude of your team. This is who you want.”
Don't insult Marvin like that.It's also scary to think that we could have had Marvin Lewis as our HC.
Holy hell. Although I guess it makes sense............... we kept Marvin Lewis Lite for a decade, so why not go out and get the real thing?
“Originally the Cowboys owners wanted a defensive coach because they wanted to keep the offensive staff,”
I have, hes not interesting at all. Brings no perspective outside of stories. It's actually condescending to listen to some of his answers.He knows more about football and what needs to be done to run a team than anyone on this site.
Even though there are many fans that think they know more and can do it better. You don't even have to ask them, they will tell you themselves.
I dare anyone to sit down with him and talk football with him, and see how much they know vs. Jerry. That would be entertaining.
I suspect it’s more jerry was weighing his options, jay voiced his opinion and it happened to be the guy who impressed them in his interviewsI don't buy this BS from Glazer and how he made this happen. If the Jones had their mind made up to bring in Zimmer and go defense and keep the offensive staff. Though it sounds like something they would do, that is what they would have done.
Remember he hired Wade because he wanted a 3-4 defensive minded coach, so that is what Jerry did. So I believe he knows he needed to completely change and clean house, but not because some "insider" convinced him otherwise.
Hey, at least it was Jay Glazer and not a homeless guy talking the owner into a huge decision.
So we have that.[/QUOTE
Jerry needs to come here everyday
He could learn a lot
Fans have seen a complete change for a long time
LolOf course there will be resistance. But JJ has to let him apply the power. If they find they can bypass him and go straight to JJ then it won’t work.
First team meeting should be like the movie heartbreak ridge when Eastwood went to meet his men in recon platoon. Lol. If you saw that movie you will understand. Lol.
f you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan satisfied with Mike McCarthy assuming the head-coaching position, be sure to thank Jay Glazer.
The well-connected NFL insider, who broke the news of McCarthy’s hiring, revealed to SB Nation that he played a part — a big part — in Dallas landing McCarthy. As the story goes, Jerry and Stephen Jones initially looked in an entirely different direction after firing offensive-minded Jason Garrett.
Then came the kibosh.
“Originally the Cowboys owners wanted a defensive coach because they wanted to keep the offensive staff,” Glazer said on Radio Row at the Super Bowl. “I’m like, don’t do that, guys. And I talk to the Joneses about it. I said don’t do that. You get yourself in trouble that way. Get a leader of men. Get a guy who’s going to formulate the attitude of your team. This is who you want.”
Reading between the lines, it appears the Cowboys may have been targeting Vikings HC Mike Zimmer, once the subject of swirling trade (yes, trade) speculation. However, Minnesota confirmed Zimmer’s return following their playoff loss to the eventual NFC-champion 49ers, forcing the Joneses to look elsewhere.
The Cowboys interviewed just two candidates — McCarthy and ex-Bengals HC Marvin Lewis, whose background is defense — before settling on the former. Jerry Jones dubbed the acquisition “fortuitous” due to McCarthy’s experience and resume, highlighted by a Super Bowl title.
“Yes, we needed Mike. We needed a coach. But to have his availability and to have his track record and ability to check all the boxes that I just talked about was fortuitous for this franchise,” he said, per NFL.com. “… And so while our time together initially talking about this job was meaningful, so much more went into how and why he’s sitting at this table today.”
At the time of his hiring, and from the outset, Glazer reported that McCarthy was the coach they wanted. Following a deep-dive into his background, McCarthy was the coach they needed.
