The Cowboys appear not to want to start over from scratch, but rather move ahead with this current group of players, more of a retool then a rebuild. I believe they don't want to bring in a completely new system, which is why both Kellen Moore/Doug Nussmeier make a ton of sense. Dak not only has a good relationship with both, but he knows their offensive system/language. This isn't the direction I would go, but appears pointed in that direction.
As for defense, I think it's Zimmer's job if he wants to continue coaching, if he does retire, I fully expect Al Harris to get promoted. He has put in his time and has earned the promotion. Being around Quinn/Zimmer will help him put together a similar scheme with concepts from both.
Now I choose not to believe you this is all a process and whoever we get we get all the rhetoric and opinions on who might be here and who we might end up with is just ridiculous right now it's so all over the place they're just now setting up interviews but there's a list on Twitter with josina Anderson said that they've made more calls than you think that she's had talks with Jerry and the people that he's trying to align schedules with other coaching candidates to get it together then there are booked official interviews that are being leaked out to us there's a whole lot more been going on behind the scenes she says he's not as far behind as people think in this hiring process he's got his candidates he's been speaking to people and I hate to break it to the fan base you think they're entitled to to every piece of information in real time like they need to be part of this process and they know what's going on you're not entitled to anything we'll know when we know...
You want my opinion there also have dark horse list I think it could be Pete Carroll as the head coach with Robert Soleil is the defensive coordinator and they'll bring in one of their old coordinators for the offense and they'll build a new roster I mean would that be the worst staff ever?
I remember when you all sat here and said Mike McCarthy is a yes man and it won't work and that there were so many other options and some of you thought Ron Rivera was a better option and guess what in 2020 in fact Mike McCarthy was the best hire all the teams made their choices and Jerry made his and Mike McCarthy turns out to have the best success out of all of them and I mean there's a gap by far he was the best hire in 2020...
It always confuses me you guys with the whole yes man thing and the retreads you know the whole league does that right that Mike McCarthy was no longer wanted here by Jerry and now there's two to three other teams that are setting up interviews with him and Ron Rivera by the way the Chicago Bears actually interviewed Ron Rivera you wanna talk about being hypocrites this fan base thinks that Jerry hires yes man but when other teams hire the same retread the same older coaching carousel that is a bad thing and then it's a yes man when he's here but it's not a yes man when he's elsewhere?!!
It gets on my nerves people in here wanted Sean Payton and Jim Harbaugh both of which did not have better records or success than Mike McCarthy it's very close but they're all retreads they're all older veteran coaches being passed around the league but you want Jerry to pay more for those guys to have parallel success than them getting a discount for Mike McCarthy is a bad thing I mean why shouldn't we get paid Mike McCarthy 15,000,000 to do the same thing he did for 5 million and still not get us where we needed to go it makes no sense you guys think that money is attached to good decisions and that makes them better choices and in fact it's not.
So in 2020 Jerry made the right decision and maybe a guy like Pete Carroll will be the parachute higher much like Mike McCarthy and it could end up being successful we don't know but hiring some young up and coming coordinator that can't bring all his players and roster with him you think those guys are gonna be more successful than Pete Carroll you know this for a fact?
So we all have our list we all have our opinions but none of them are actual facts they're going through the process and other than us having rumor mill discussions none of it is true until it is...
