3 Mike McCarthy Replacements Cowboys Should Already Circle After Week 2

The Dallas Cowboys' 16-game home win streak ended with a devastating 44-19 loss to the New Orleans Saints at AT&T Stadium on Sunday. While several Cowboys can (and should) be blamed for the embarrassing defeat, a good chunk of fingers are being pointed toward head coach Mike McCarthy.

After all, the 2024 season is a crucial year for the team and head coach. The Cowboys are desperately trying to win their first Super Bowl in nearly 30 years while McCarthy is in the final year of his five-year contract and must do whatever he can to secure an extension.

However, based on Sunday's loss, McCarthy's outlook in Dallas is far from promising. Failing to turn the ship around could cost him his job before the season is even over.

With that in mind, here are three potential McCarthy candidates that the Cowboys must consider following Week 2.

1. Bill Belichick
2. Ben Johnson
3. Steve Spagnuolo

can we actually get through this season at hand before we start talking about this?

It'll be Belichick.
Jerry's, what, 80, 80+?
He wants to win and win fast because Father Time is tapping his watch (not wishing anything happens to him, but that's the natural progression of life).
He's not going to want a young, innovative guy who may need a few seasons to get his guys and implement his program.
He's going to want an established winner.
Enter Belichick.

 

[tyke1doe]

Do you know why the Titans didn't want him back? Do you know why ( as good/popular ) he only received 1-2 interviews and no offers?

I'm curious. Why?

 

[Hawkeye0202]

There is going to be a market for Belichick. Likely 3 teams in NFC East interested.

May be but he's a HOF icon. His presence will intimidate many younger GMs. This is why he's only willing to coach for just a few teams.

The titans had back to back losing seasons, although they made the playoffs three seasons in a row under vrabel.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I'm curious. Why?

He lost a power struggle with his Titan's GM, Ran Carthon. Word is, at one point he refused to work with Carthon and started making some of his decisions/changes w/o the owner's approval. It was pretty messy by the time he was fired. No GM will hire a coach they think will come after their job. Just as head coaches stick together, the same can be said for GMs. This is why he was interviewed for only a couple of openings with no offers.


Sources say Vrabel has not approached ownership with any concerns about the structure of the organization or his alignment with general manager Ran Carthon, who was hired from the 49ers in January 2022. Vrabel has continued to coach the team with the same passion as when he was hired in 2018. But he also has done little to shoot down reports and social media speculation about his displeasure with the trajectory of things in Tennessee.


rumors were rampant that a power struggle between Vrabel and Carthon finally came to a head, leading to ownership choosing one over the other.

“Some of those leaks last year about Mike Vrabel allegedly dominating Ran Carthon on decisions and around the office were right on the money," a rival scout told Athlon Sports for this year's NFL preview magazine, on sale at newsstands now. "From what I heard, the owner simply got tired of the situation and empowered Carthon by kicking out Vrabes. Ran is a real boss now in Nashville and doesn’t have to walk around on eggshells anymore."

After week 2 and they are in 1st place.

What exactly is BB is going to rebuild? He didn't do it in New England, but do you think he will make a difference with the current front office structure? Parcells left a competitive team but didn't stick around, instead, Wade/Garrett destroyed the foundation he left behind.

I was defending parcells because the op made it seem like he was a bad hire

Lol @ Spags

 

[darthseinfeld]

Jerry was the general manager who, not so anonymously, informed a reporter that Vrabel's presence was too intimidating.


During “The Athletic Football Show” Russini recalled a conversation that she had with an unnamed NFL general manager, who suggested that Vrabel’s physical build may have turned teams off.

“Did you know I had a GM at the Senior Bowl who mentioned to me Vrabel’s physical build,” Russini said. “That he’s a very large human being and can be very intimidating to people in an organization that are going to be part of these decisions. That is a factor.”

Might be the most smh Jerry thing since saying he wants to go back to a certain kind of hole

Jon Gruden. He's almost done with his exile.

Gruden. Not because he's the best fit but because Jerald believes in a well-known name if not the skills.

 

[iceberg]

what did belichick do after Brady?

pass.

 

[Rayman70]

I can see a hire no one would seriously consider. Like Schottenheimer or Greg Zgunnia.

 

[Rayman70]

Jon Gruden. He's almost done with his exile.

Gruden. Not because he's the best fit but because Jerald believes in a well-known name if not the skills.

In the end, I think Jerry will not pull the trigger on that hire. Just because today's players are more concerned how they are perceived socially by who they associate with. Luv the idea, hate to see the affect. The sports talking heads would have a field day and would never allow JG to escape his past run ins with the league. Thats a shame really because I think he still may be a good HC.

 

[RonWashington]

I don’t think you can pluck assistants off other teams mid season . You’ll notice when a coach walks the plank mid season it’s always someone from within that organization that takes over on “ interim “ basis .

As far as BB out of Gillette stadium my goodness when Tom Brady left they became worst then the Jets . That’s hard to do .

 

[HungryLion]

I really think Bill B is just too old.

I mean he is 72.

How many 72 year olds can still put in the 80+
Hour work weeks and crazy schedule that head coaches in the NFL have to do?

 

[RonWashington]

As far as this staff in season yes you guessed it if MM goes Zimmer takes over .

 

[CTcowboy203]

A huge hell no on number 3….he’s the prototypical very good coordinator but not head coach- who has the luxury of being on the coaching staff of mahome’s team
