He has been in Dallas 1 year and they lost confidence before last year even started? They nor did anyone else know how poorly Nolan would do as DC. I think HC give coordinators some free reign but ultimately the HC is being held responsible for the overall results of his team. I have no doubt at all McCarthy has a lot of input in what he wants and expects from his coaches and this team.
I dunno where this .. “ And they lost confidence before last year even started ? ….“ is coming from that you’re talking about, but I believe I was referring to
what McCarthy’s overall workings and grades after the ’20 season ended.
- One of the elements of a HC is knowing when to delegate tasks and duties to your assistants, ..and when to step in and implement authority, adjustment and presence. There’s an in-between.
- And yes that included the hiring and workings of DC Nolan, ..that included the workings of DL coach Tomsula, ..that included the workings of puzzling coaching calls ala botched punt fakes
around your own ’20 yard line, etc.
It wasn’t that anyone else knew Nolan was going to be poor, it was seeing how Nolan operated when the going got tough, and he and the HC were nonchalant or clueless about how to make any adjustments as the season went on.
- With a DC who is sitting on his azz in the coaches booth with so much massive confusion and frustration going on the sidelines among his own players, we shouldn’t have to rely on clubhouse reports from Jane Slater to finally get slap-wake Nolan to finally get him out of the booth and on the sidelines with those miffed players – for him to finally heed and try to make some scale down simple adjustments
- but it still was widely asked as why did that have to come per Jane Slater – why didn’t that come from the overseer HC himself ?
- And thats' from the inside but what of the game management from the outside on the field ? If Bones is calling for a fake punt at our own 20’ permitted he is given the green light to run such a play , that’s on Mac ,.. if Mac himself calls up to Bones to run a fake punt, that also is still on Mac.
