Cowboy deny Bears interview request

[pitt33]

14-3 next year and a first round bye, is that out of the question?

Now that’s funny.

i put the penalty issue on the players.
i refuse to believe they need a coach to walk them by the hand and show them how or where to line up.
thats on the player.
same as jumping off sides.
they've played long enough.
they know...or should.

red zone scoring...time management...THAT is on the coaches.

Yes, it is on the players but they continually do it. That's a sign the consequences aren't enough. Ferguson continually false starts because he can. Good coaches don't tolerate mistakes over and over. I know I wouldn't. And the same is for special teams. We got better towards the last quarter of the season but every single snap on special teams was a penalty against us.

I'm thinking MM could be the hold up. He hired an agent for this very reason.......nego a contract with Jerry giving him more control over players, personnel and probably a larger budget for coaches. He's spent five years seeing the way Jerry operates. He would be foolish not to take advantage of his leverage.

He hired an agent to do exactly what’s already been done….create the appearance through the media that he would be desired by other teams if the cowboys didn’t resign him which 1) makes the cowboys value him higher and 2)allows him leverage to negotiate a higher pay day.

He’s not getting more control over players - that a non starter as head coach of the cowboys, he knows Jerry will ultimately have final say. Hiring don yee was to have don use his connections in he media and league to get him other interviews and have him negotiate higher pay for mike

Bringing MM back is like bringing garret back.

- we are constantly top of the league in penalties. Undisciplined football team.
- every playoff game under MM we’ve looked awful and played scared.
- are we forgetting all the awful home losses beginning of the year.

I know Jerry ruins things but it isn’t like McCarthy hasn’t had talent the entire time he’s been here. Just because the team won a couple meaningless games late in the season doesn’t change that for me. Need some new blood in here. Gimme Aaron Glenn

red zone SCORING is on the HC ?

thats news to me ... is QB rating also on coaching ?

Scheme and play calling don't matter?

What's on the coaches is BENCHING the players that commit the stupid pre snap penalties. McCarthy just looks at them and mumbles. False Start Ferguson should be benched for a quarter every time he jumps. Undisciplined idiot.

In the NFL, any of the upper tier of proven winning head coaches are capable of potentially winning a Super Bowl. You only need good-enough head coaches. The far more important part of the equation is upper tier talent on the field, "upper tier" not only defined by physical skills and cognitive competence, but by physical and mental health.

McCarthy... or probably almost anyone else the Jones would decide to hire... is good enough. I think this is not the critical decision some make it out to be, and I think "some" is the minority. Most of us get all that. As usual most of us are not that loud and demanding, so we're not going to post ad infinitum on internet forums or call sports radio talk shows to voice our opinion.

And really, there's obvious advantage to keeping McC to the degree that players, at least on the offensive side of the ball, don't have to spend training camp and the early season learning and getting used to new stuff, including and maybe most importantly a new guy's vocabulary.

im with you. im not saying you do it with Micah, but some of these guys after yet another penalty need the head coach screaming in their face and sitting them down for the rest of the game.

Exactly. Embarrass them and put them on the bench. I can't think of anything more selfish than committing the same penalty over and over.

If they're just a special teams player then cut their ***. Bringing somebody else. That will get their attention.

 

[Aven8]

We need a strong DC

 

[Mr_437]

Ur right we’re a strength and conditioning staff away…

I swear some of yall don’t watch football.

Lol bless your heart.

My suspicions will be reinforced if Jerry does a complete 180 on free agency and spends money on impactful veterans. Theoretically this would also allow him to go BPA in the draft.

I hope your suspicions are reinforced, but for that to happen Jerry and Stephen would have to admit that they've been doing it the wrong way. I think they bring back McCarthy, sign their own free agency, make some minor moves to add cheap outside FAs and lean on the draft. Rinse and repeat. Best we can hope for is a trade. That seems to be the only way they acquire any outside players who aren't bargain basement (Cooper, Cooks, Gilmore).

I won't be surprised if a trade is made for a No. 2 receiver with Cooks set to be an FA, but I also won't be surprised if they decide Tolbert can be the No. 2 because he scored TDs in three of the last four games and almost had a 100-yard game in the last one. After all, they also have Mingo to compete for the job and already spent a draft pick on him.

As ridiculous and dumb founding as the cowboys are- I seriously doubt they’d block Mike from an interview if the 2 sides hadn’t agreed they’ll continue working together. As inept as Dallas may seem or be , they know you can’t do that and you can’t do that with a power agent don yee.

If there’s anything still tbd is probably with the other staff and whose coming back with Mike and whose expendable and the terms of mikes extension ie years.

 

[MikeT22]

Mike isnt even the problem ,

if Dak comes back next season (which he will) , then dont worry who is HC .

And Jerry, mostly Jerry. But yeah, we aren't going far with Dak

 

[bluemagic4ever]

Let me be honest here.

I have no issue with McCarthy as head coach. I have big issues with McCarthy calling plays. Just wonder if this is the main hurdle involved in his potential return, because as much as it pains me to say it, this offense looked better when Kellen Moore was OC.

My issue is we already seen that and he threw him under the bus and regressed. I don’t need to see another play caller under him. I want an entire new scheme and coaching staff

 

[rambo2]

They why did he put his house on the market? I realize that doesn't mean anything because people do that all the time, but the timing, the final year of his contract, is very suspect.

He has 2 houses and they took that 1 off the market. He also tanked on the 4th and 1 with 3 minutes to go by punting.

Well I believe like others this was a move influenced by Yee to get them to make moves before the 14th. Which could be why it’s going back and forth like that

 

[J_Allen]

This team needs more discipline and it goes all the way back to the Romo and Witten era. I'll never forget a pass bouncing off Witten's foot and getting intercepted. He goes back to the sidelines casually drinking gatorade, glances over his shoulder at the replay on the big screen, and then he turns back to drinking his Gatorade without a care in the world.

It's the same now. They are just no consequences for negative plays. Everybody remembers Connor williams. Almost every single big run we had was called back because he couldn't do his job without holding. And there he was every week starting.

agree. I dont think even jerry would pull such a stunt. Im sure they are ironing out a few smaller details.
