Wildcard........Bill Callhan
Don't laugh, no coach knows the trenches as well as this guy. He's the Andy Reid, Shanahan or Belichick of OLine coaches. Want a coach to fix the run on both sides of the ball, this is your guy.

The Dallas Cowboys still have at least 11 games left in their 2024 season. The mood, however, is pretty grim as the club exits their bye week. Sitting at 3-3, the club will return to the safety of the road for their next contest, a remarkable turnabout from how things have been the last two seasons. Somehow, the pressure of being at home has become too much for the organization, falling woefully behind in four contests (dating back to the wild-card game) and only making one of them competitive.

Honorable Mentions:

Dan Pritchard, Cincinnati Bengals OC
Ryan Grubb, Seattle Seahawks OC
Adam Stenovich, Green Bay Packers OC
Ejiro Evero, Carolina Panthers, DC

Please heck no on deion. You thought it was a circus now?
This is true BUT if you could pass that, he would be an interesting hire. Deion isn't an X/O guy........he's a motivator in the Jimmy Johnson mode. He will accept nothing but the best from everyone around him, coaches and players.

Sidenote......guess where Zimm worked before taking our DC job.

I wouldn't be upset at the idea of Callahan. He set up our oline well and I believe they slowly got worse after he left. That said, I don't know he can have the same impact as HC. Also, if memory serves I think Jerry burned that bridge.

They should just stop......it will be Kellen Moore. That's what Jerry will do.

There’s only one thing for certain….it’ll be someone who no one else is looking to hire.

Not trying to be funny. Why would someone work as HC in Dallas?

-Authority clipped from beginning
-Constantly undermined by Jerry
-FO doesn’t sign key players
-Jerry wants to be told about game plans
-Players have direct line to Jerry
-Jerry will give halftime speech if he wants
-Media to Jerry for comments before you
-Can’t pick your entire staff
-It’s about entertainment, not football
-You’re eventually scapegoated
-Practice disturbed by helicopter landing
-Practice disturbed by fan tours

What am I forgetting? No one with options will come here. The hire will be someone who no one else would bother with. He can’t get away Zimmer, so…Rex Ryan is the guy. That’ll make some headlines for a while, and Jerry will take that grab.

Yeah I’m all in on Ben even though this team is gonna probably old guy who use to be good.
No a lot we disagree on but we are on opposite sides of the lake here. I have no trust in Ben......as stated before, that offense is loaded with high draft picks or talent. It is easy for an OC to shine with so many pieces.....hell, look how good Klingsbury and Kellen Moore are now.

Whoever it is won't be allowed to bring in their own offense or offensive people, we will retain the QB coach who will in then be the OC of the cowboys!! Dak APPROVED!!!

I would like to see #1 or #2 from the article, but sadly I expect Jerry and company to go with someone they have ties to.
