We are two days post McCarthy and we were already behind the rest of the teams in terms of finding a new coach. I haven't heard of any interviews set up or taken place unless you count Deion. What's the holdup? Is Jerry really gonna wait till all the good candidates are hired and take one who will work for cheap because there is no competition at that time?? Has anyone heard of any scheduled interviews?
Do you realize that you're trying to speak from some factual area that you're in, that we don't know about? red phone, wire taps, spyware?? so you have been in the know of all 5 teams needing coaches and where they are at???

We know you're getting your information from the Internet and you're wrong, this is all speculation it's tidbits and bread crumbs that you're reading on what people feel is happening behind the scenes nothing has really happened because a lot of the coaches that are really in hot pursuit are still playing playoff football and they can't do any real actual formal interviews yet most teams are giving a list to the Internet on who they're interested in but there's been nothing formal that you can rely on, where anybody's at in their hiring process they're all still available if they're all still available then Jerry's not behind because his list may be different than everyone else's list and that's probably true for all five teams have similar names on the list but they very different names on the list.....​

only one hires been made, Vrabel, and as much as I would have wanted the guy here you know his only choice if offered was going to be New England therefore he was off the board for everyone anyway and left New England did something crazy and didn't go after him when he was there he went in for the interview already knowing he was going to get the job this isn't any secret that he wanted to go back to the team he played for in one Super Bowl with should have been probably what happened last year but New England jumped the gun and hired Mayo when they shouldn't have then they had to come up a year later and fire them This is why this process should play out longer which by the way you know Dan Quinn was the last higher last year Washington waited till the last minute it looked like he was coming back here and then hired him blast apparently they were way behind but yet their coach they seem to be happy with he's in the playoffs second round..

So, I say again what's the rush you're thinking is coming from the Internet everything you read that's coming up on your feed it's not facts it's just speculation based off bread crumbs... I'd rather have Jerry wait take a little longer to get his head right and not hire the wrong guy and have to fire him a year later it's happened 11 times in the last 10 years in the NFL where they didn't even last one year..​

So most of these interviews have not happened most of them are phone calls, zoom, facetime, they're taking the temperature, they're seeing where the interest is they're seeing if there's a good fit for both sides before they set up a formal interview so I don't think anybody's behind anyone I don't care if teams have had no head coach or GM for the last four weeks or six weeks apparently they don't have the guy because nobody's been hired except for new England but that was almost a done deal from the beginning.. IMHO Jerry has done this. he's made phone calls ,he's probably had some face times, and some zooms with some people, just because we haven't heard about any formal interviewing being set up doesn't mean things are not moving along they're in discovery phase right now like most teams when they set up the formal interviews it won't be 12 of them they'll be two to three but they're trying to narrow the list down..

So let's calm down let the process play out and then we can talk about who's hired and how we feel about it until then all the speculation and threads about who might be hired and how they might do and already predicting three wins next year like this stuff gets old daily like you guys need to just take it easy and which by the way we were horrible this year and pretty much on the medical list of one of the worst seasons ever and injuries and still managed to win seven games....

So I know all the predictions are starting already based on nothing scared that McCarthy's gone I'm happy he's gone look I know he was a good solid head coach but not want to remove himself as an offensive coordinator I guarantee he was part of this issue Jerry had a different staff in mind on the offensive side it wasn't just years you can buy that if you want there were more things holding this up he was going to make Mike give up play Call Duties and get a different OC in here and a few different coaches...

Sometimes it's just time to go and I think my McCarthy was a good head coach but not so much as a coordinator he doesn't see his own fault he's not aggressive enough I'd rather have a coach in here that's more aggressive and trying to do everything they can to throw everything they can at the other team to win every game not sit back and try not to lose...

Yeah, don't expect anything till after season most likely. I still think Zimmer has already spoken with JJ and is the fallback option or even the 1st option (gotta appease fans and analysts to fulfill the Rooney and interview some decent coaches for face value only).
The Rooney rule by the way is a joke it just isn't being taken seriously like it was intended, so it's easy to do that all they have to do is bring in al Harris for an interview or someone that they know they're not truly interested in as the head coach and in that interview you're talking to have him maybe come back in some capacity once they start hiring again.. Other teams are doing this very thing the real hold up is people are getting their list down to two or three candidates before they set up formal interviews this guy posted this doesn't understand Amanda it's not a Jerry S not talking to people behind the scenes or having emails or zooms face times we're just not hearing about it because nobody's sitting up there reporting it because it's private when they want you to know things they'll let you know everything else are bread crumbs rumors these are only like things that people heard third party that this is what each teams might be interested in but no true formal interviews have been done... Not for the real candidates I mean you have teams out there rumored to have 14 The Jets 14 possible head coaches that they want on a higher I think that's a bit bipolar I don't wanna hear about that list not from Jerry I wanna hear when he has two guys and when there's two realistic candidates that he might wanna hire that's what I wanna start hearing the news not right now...

Some of those guys are probably in the playoffs they're not available yet not formally so why not do your due diligence behind the scenes shorten your list and then start doing formal interviews everyone around here thinks they're entitled to be involved in the daily operations of the teams that they support that's not true the things you're getting from our Internet based most of it is rumor I mean there's still people this morning talking about how if Jerry Jones seriously offered Sanders the job he'd take it that's not true we've already saw quotes from Sanders saying he appreciate the interest and that he's flattered but he doesn't really wanna be an NFL head coach at this time sure he can change his mind but right now they shouldn't be having a story this morning on ESPN yes you Stephen A Smith what an idiot he's saying if they really wanted Sanders all they have to do is offer him the job and I'm telling you he must not be listening Sanders has been quoted that right at the moment he's not interested in any NFL job...

How are we not behind? Some teams have already interviewed the top candidates
because we're not no one's been hired except for Mike vrabel that was a given he was going to New England as long as they offered him the job he was taking it he wasn't gonna take any other interviews So what you're saying is some people have been interviewed but they're not hired that means they're all in play that's why we're not behind you can keep making assumptions off all the Internet bread crumbs you're being fed which are all rumors it's all tidbits of information that have no actual facts in it except for people have lists there has been not one single bit of information that we saw on the Internet that another team is close to hiring anyone and a lot of them are on playoff teams that are not available to do a formal in person interview so you don't know what Jerry's been doing behind the scenes phone calls emails FaceTime zoom because you don't live up there you're not allowed in there that's called private in the corporate world that information is proprietary it's it's almost like lawyers the things being spoken up there that are truly serious are not being let out to any media outlets you will not know until they allow you to know so any rumors speculation on the Internet you're making it into something that's factual and it's not...

I mean if we believe the Internet The Jets have 14 candidates on their list how long you going to think it takes to interview 14 formal interviews I doubt that list is that big that's just people they are interested in those are not interviews those are Internet lists these are what they believe The Jets are interested in and things that they've asked for an interview it's like Aaron Glenn flat out turned down the New England job because of what they did to Mayo. And I don't believe there was a lot of interest in Aaron Glenn for New England because they were gonna hire rebel but they needed to do the Rooney rule but he said no thank you I'm not going to interview there and I bet he's not going to interview anywhere where he felt wrong's been done in the past to the minority coaches so we could go back and see those recently probably the Raiders etc

They always drag their feet. Jerry assumed Mike would just come back but he drug his feet on that as well and Mike did what any sane person would do and said no thanks and take his chances with one of several teams looking to pay more with more years. As the hot candidates fly off the shelves Jerry will interview 1 person to please the rooney rule then hire the cheapest coach he thinks he can spin as a good hire.

BTW I'm sure you're using an voice appt to type these up and post but super hard to read w/zero punctuation for most part. IJS

Supposedly per Jane Slater (someone posted on here) - Jerry is on a solo mission (I would guess out of embarrassment) - so we'll probably end up with Garrett who learned and studied while screaming at his fellow crew on NBC

Not sure when interviews are scheduled, but I was able to find a picture of some of the candidates Jerry is considering.

Could be that OR they purposely made it so unworkable that they knew what the outcome would be . The Jones Boys roll like this and YES they would do this to a HC and entire staff if so compelled just outta spite after the GB loss. Thats why they didn't fight for DQ when he left. They were unhappy with him on the heels of the GB game. Believe me when I tell you all, the Jones bunch hold grudges and the desired outcome was MM walking. Thats why they never discussed another deal. They made things so uncomfortable for Fat Mike that he finally said I can't do it. It was mutual. I think we will have our next HC by this coming Monday. They likely have had it narrowed down to about 3 guys since last offseason. Zimmer being 1 of them but I think hes retiring. He wants no more of this long-term. Gruden is the name and Lincoln Riley, Witten, that are all realistic. The Deion thing was contrived for the fans to consume to make us think Jerry is trying hard. Deion wins Jerry wins. Deion gets more money and Jerry gets attention. I think when push comes to shove, it will be Jon Gruden. Hes a free agent, hes a SB winner, and he brings discipline. Hes the anti-Mike McCarthy. He still connects with todays players.
Correct your assumption #2 is absolutely spot on if Jerry Jones truly wanted Mike McCarthy back he would've just conceded he would have gave Mike whatever he wanted what I think is going on behind the scenes is he wanted Mike to step down from his play calling duties and they were going to force some different offensive staff on him not all of it but they were goanna make him hire a different offensive staff and a true OC and I don't think he liked it it wasn't just about the years you're not selling that too me, that line of garbage here, because if it were just about years jerry would have conceded ,that'd be an easy concession. it was a lot more than that.

they tried they mutually parted ways NBG nothing to see new era incoming. Ill wait and see the short list of realistic antedates jerry says hes doing formal interviews with to discus this further. All else is pure speculation. Just like when MM wasn't quickly let go and talks picked up, how many people speculated mike McCarthy was a done deal he's coming back, discussed it for nothing, hes gone!

Does he still relate to today’s players?
I think that remains to be seen and is a big gamble by anyone that hires him to be the HC.

They are waiting for coaches to call them.

I'm trying to tell everyone... Zimmer is definitely #1 unless something drastic happens. Garrett has been retired and won't ever be an option again for anyone thankfully.
