Signed by Cowboys **** Dallas Cowboys Announce Mike McCarthy Press Conference Thread *****

[Doomsday101]

Green Bay has a lot of fans and a national following just like Dallas does, but being the coach of the Packers is NOTHING like being the coach of the Cowboys.

The local press cover the Packers are more like a college team, rarely critical (I mean how can they dump on the only thing going on in Green Bay?), never probing, and mostly cream puff questions.

The sheer isolation of the place (even Milwaukee reporters have to travel 2+ hours to get there) and lack of any owner looking over one's shoulder allows a coach to pretty much go about his business without anyone questioning him.

It will be very, very interesting to see how Mac responds to the much increased scrutiny he will be under while coaching America's Team.

Media wise sure but then NY is a big media. GB however in the NFL is no small stage, the city may be but the Football team and their following is very strong. What makes a team a big stage is not local media. Maybe we just don't share the same view of what is a big stage

First time I listened to McCarthy for longer than a short while. Pleasantly surprised. Seems sincere and a balance of jovial and serious.

I thought big MM was fabulous, the only trouble I had was figuring out which eye to look at while he was speaking! Lets go!!!

 

[DUO_CORE]

He had me until he said "process" lol.

In all seriousness, I hear that McCarthy is looking to go on Slim Fast.

He plans on using it to wash down double cheeseburgers.

Mike gonna be slamming some Whataburger and he may even eat Kellen Moore...LOL.

..I liked what I heard from Mike. Right off the back, he's a football guy. You can tell he has plans for Dallas, a monumental task it is. Happy and appreciative to be here. I haven't seen Jerry smile that big in years.

 

[Londonboy]

McCarthy should unbutton His jacket or find a decent tailor.
Stephen looks like he's lost weight.
Jerry loves to waffle endlessly in circles.
So glad for Jerry that He's got such happy memories of the Garrett family, wish I had some too.

I find it interesting that Rodgers sent him a congratulations text. The media would have you think that he despised him. Seems more like a coach's messaging getting stale after 10 years with one team. I think we're going to be fine with MM.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Gotta say that one made me laugh-out-loud!

Rodgers actually saying something nice. lol

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I'm so proud of my team.

And you, the reader, were the true hero all along.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

That was bizarre press conference. Jerry describes his encounters with McCarthy as some sort of homoerotic love story. I don’t know what kind of good stuff Stephen had before the conference.

I was lukewarm on McCarthy but now I’m starting to see that this is going to be a great fit. This is probably the most excited I’ve ever been about this teams future.

First real HC we've had since Parcells.

I liked his answer to the Dez question.

Rogers is just smarter than Dez or TO and has a tad more character.

 

[Idgit]

question, Jerry no coach has ever won a super bowl again with another team, Why do you think Mikes the right hire?
Jerry say's, he's got fire! "Pumping his fist many times" i love a young coach with fire.
What a joke of a franchise. If they win a bowl again, i'll go in shock.

Thats wasn’t actually Jerry’s answer to that question.

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

I thought it's a great start to see if McCarthy still has it, will see on gameday...

 

[ShortRound]

I didn’t hear the presser but I’m sure MM is motivated to beat GB. our first game against the Packers will be break records on TV.

 

[silvernblu]

Not impressed. Dude seemed to have trouble stringing thoughts together.

a real coach needs to be slick, well spoken and full of empty platitudes. I miss Garrett already.

 

[Ranching]

dude is from pittsburgh. We have a real northeast coach again. No nonsense, loud, no time for anyones BS.

I love it. He is not a wiseguy like parcells but I will take it.

Tom and Jimmy? Both born and raised in Texas.
