Video: Aikman really likes Quinn hire

[JayFord]

All I want Quinn to do is be a teacher.....no one on the defense showed any fundamentals last year....

Here's an odd concept.

Add quality defensive FA's and draft better defensive players. That would solve a lot of problems.

If they cant cover and cant do run support they cant play db for dallas

What do the players have to do with it???

Cowboys have some of the worse fans. Many, especially on here whine about anything and everything.
Quinn hired as DC....whaaaa...jerry sucks....
Quinn not hired as DC...whaaa...jerry sucks ....

Eagles hire Quinn as DC...whaaa...jerry sucks he should have signed him...

Incredibly lukewarm endorsement. When Troy said he liked McCarthy over and over, he said it with enthusiasm. This was "he's a good football coach," which is what you say about a guy who just got fired.

Best things Troy said in that clip was that Dan was "a leader of men" (okay, good) and "he's a sweetheart." Yippee.

Opinions don’t really matter
One year from now we will have actually facts

So like we’ve said for 4 days, it’s back to the Marinelli days. Simplicity. Which McCarthy and the FO said they wanted to get away from.

Quinn’s fronts are different from Marinelli’s. Marinelli was exclusively one-gap with smallish, penetrating linemen. Quinn runs a hybrid front that combines two- and one-gapping.

Agreed but we need to get Booger and Spaulding out of the War Room for that to happen or we’ll end up with drafting more defensive “falling gems” with their “blinking lights”. We suck at acquiring defensive talent like the Jets suck at building an Offense.

No not even close. Marinellis defense was bend but don’t break. Quinn’s defense is more aggressive and more of an attacking defense .

I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing to go back to the old scheme. The cowboys are built to score points and move the ball. We need a defense to be formidable not a juggernaut. Obviously no one is gonna complain if we were the 2000 ravens or legion of boom but the reality is they need to be decent enough situationally to bend not break and be opportunistic enough to get stops.

if we can scale things back make it simplistic for our players and have them just focus on singular roles that enables them to think less and play faster, harder and smarter then I have no problem going back to the marinelli like scheme. This offense with a defense that’s middle of the pack is winning a good amount of games.

I’d rather a team recognize that the players aren’t skilled enough or advanced enough for a scheme than try to force something

Troy seems at odds with Dallas a bit because I think the job he'd really like to have is President of the Cowboys, much like John Elway in Denver. He knows it will never happen\

If he has even an ounce of self-awareness, he doesn't want a job like that here because it would heap impossible expectations on him and retroactively ruin his standing with the fanbase.

Troy knows his own history. He was constantly signing off on terrible player acquisitions and draft picks. We spent a 1st rounder on a lumbering blocking TE because Troy had tunnel vision for tight ends. He helped shove Chan Gailey out the door, plunging us into the hell of Dave Campo after Gailey took us to the playoffs every year. After he left, I'm pretty sure he still showed up for events like Chad Hutchinson's workout and gave the thumbs-up.

Troy would be a nightmare as a guy running a team. He has no nose for player personnel. No particular knack for picking good schemes. Heck, he didn't even like the shotgun formations when he was a player, so he was arguably behind the times even when he was playing. He'd be even further behind now.

If Troy went that route, he'd Matt Millen himself. Instead of getting to coast on the reputation for success from his playing days, he'd become synonymous with the stink of failure that he'd earn in his attempt to run a team.

Hopefully Quinn will straighten out a few things on this defense and when McCarthy decides to go for on offense on 4th down in his own territory in a 4 point game with a division rival in the 4th quarter. Quinn will pull a Buddy Ryan and go after him like Ryan did to Kevin Gilbride.
