Cowboy deny Bears interview request

[dupree89]

I'm thinkin Bears fans are dancing in the streets tonight

time to go out and get drunk for the first time since 1991

He has an exclusive window until the 14th. There should be no blowback. Why have an exclusive window if you can't use it?

I didn't know that. But still - Jerry sounds petty for denying the interview if he doesn't already have a deal in the works.

So now we move on to whether Zimmer returns with him.

How mad is Jerry at the Bears for ruining his “will he, won’t he?” that he for sure wanted the media to talk about a few extra days?

Had they let Dim walk and then extended Corky, I'd be looking at a permanent ban here square in the face....but the next few years are gonna really be fun cheering for NOTHING BUT FAILURE for Booger and Chuckles.....the dye is now 100% cast in favor of EXTREME FUTILITY!!!

He's had plenty of time to get a deal done

 

[Coogiguy03]

He denied him because he doesn't want to let Mike have that job Jerry knows Mike wants the saints job

 

[calico]

Disaster.

This sounds to me like Jerry has wanted McCarthy back from the start, but McCarthy's new agent is demanding market value money and Jerry's trying to cheapskate on his contract offer while using the idea of hiring someone else as leverage.

 

[Mannix]

The media may have ONCE AGAIN sabotaged things for us by whining about how unfair Booger is being to drag things out...lets face it, media outlets are losing money and the Cowboys sucking gets more attention by readers and listeners...they aren't fooling me....they want Corky to stay!!!

If he knows that he's not going to try to bring McCarthy back, I agree. But this is the team that let Zeke go so he could sign with a playoff team. I think if Jerry knew he wasn't going to bring back McCarthy, he'd let him go, but if he's considering bringing him back, he has until the 14th to figure it out.

would not surprise me; the way he is pinching pennies one would think he was about to be evicted

I really want to see the blowback Jerry gets if he decides to let MM walk after denying the interview.

That's still a real possibility. The contract Jerry intimated about to Salter (incentive laden) may not be one Big Mike and his new agent would want or like.

Mike's agent may still be contacting teams that it's only 8 days before they may be able to talk to Mike. So, don't make any moves unless they completely fall in love with a candidate.

Sucks for Mike to be in this limbo, but he signed the contract. So...

All Aboard!!!

Hurry, Jerry haters! Your boat ride out of Dodge is leaving any minute now...

Headed down river towards Houston!

 

[JustChip]

I'm trying to think realistically of why else they would deny it. The only reason I can think of besides they are bringing him back is that they are truly undecided and want to weigh the other coaches available before making up their minds. Unless they are keeping it hush hush, though, there's no evidence that they are looking at any candidates.

Or Jerry wants to limit his other opportunities so he can low-ball him when there is no competition.

We were All In, injuries just derailed the master plan. Add 1 more draft class and 2-3 bargain bin free agents and the Cowboys will be Super All In! No one will be able to stop us

That's possible. I just think he wants it to look like they mulled over their options and decided that McCarthy was the best one.

shame Dak, big and little Enos and MM are all not on that boat

Why did Jerry wait until the final week of the season to make that move? If Jerry wasn't such a turd he releases Zeke 6 weeks ago so he could get some work in with his new team.
