Calvin Watkins: Cowboys are expected to interview Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Young QB already playing at or near Dak's level and better ownership

if you watch Boston sports stations, they think that Kraft is now at Jones' levels

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

From my other post: the Cowboys job is the ONLY one in the NFL where the HC is undermined, neutered, and humiliated on a DAILY basis by the owner. That doesn't happen anywhere else. That alone makes it the worst job in the league, which is why the only HC's that come here are desperate burnouts or unqualified new newbies. Then add in the next HC will have the Dak anchor, recent blown drafts, etc. It's not even close.

never anywhere else,,,

I’d take either but I’d prefer Glenn.

how is the Patriots' job better than the Cowboys' job?

They have a young franchise QB, more money to spend in free agency than any other team and the #4 pick in the draft. Add to that a non meddling owner and it is definitely a better job right now.

I don't see that at all......
For example .......he made a mistake in hiring Mayo. He not only owned up to it but had to pay Mayo 3-4 years not working for him. Tell me what happens to Mayo if that was Jerry?

Better than Marvin Lewis and a McCarthy sleepover like last time.

I called crazy .....
Seriously........It's still unlikely but if you are Ben, the Cowboy's job is way better than the Bears, Raiders, Jets and Saints IMO

why would any candidate with options choose Cowboys over any of those other teams? Bears have a good young QB with potential. Raiders, Jets and Saints aren't anchored by a bad QB on the worst contract in football for years. Cowboys job is by far the worst available. Stuck with Dak and Jerry is a nonstarter for any candidate with options.

I'm sure both will be jumping at the chance when they hear Jerry will be picking most of their staff.

he was forced to hire Mayo as apparently it was in the contract he had to succeed Hoodie. What would the reaction be if Jones put that in a coach's contract?

Agreed things are looking up in Pat's land.

Save you time....you aren't going to convince me Jerry Jones is a better owner than Kraft. Let's move on

 

[loublue22]

We have Dak, Lamb and Parsons. It would be quite an indictment of Jerry or Dak or both if we can't land the best available guy going against the Raiders and Saints, etc.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Why do they have to wait until the Lions season is over?

Everyone else gets interviewed during the playoffs. What makes the Lions different?

 

[Hawkeye0202]

The cowboys job is objectively the worst job in football. Even worse than the Jets. There's ZERO chance Johnson touches this team. He'll have better options. Glenn ....he might be desperate enough.

This is your opinion and that's fine, others have a different opinion......respect the differences

cowboy fan we always look to retreads, noone new and fresh

also cowboy fan, why are we interviewing them just because they are popular

There's nothing wrong with interviewing these two guys.

But this is buzzworthy gesturing, which is what this ownership subsists on nowadays.

The problem is - they did not interview them (remotely or in person) last week, when they could heve/should have. .now that window is closed until the Lions are out of contention. Which could be until after the Super Bowl.
Which again is behind everyone else in trying to put a coach staff together.
And one last point - Ben Johnson made it known last off season that his coaching price would be a minimum of 16 million per. In what world would Jerry pay that when he only was paying McCarthy 8 - 9 Mill. Per year !!!
