DC search will include external candidates

[Chuck 54]

I’m 100% for hiring an outside guy who has run a 3-4. Al Harris has been an excellent secondary position coach, but we are not “all in” if we put a guy in charge who hasn’t coached other positions or coordinated a defense, making game plans and making in game adjustments.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Machota says the names to look for from external candidates are Rivera, Vrabel, Martindale, Staley and Zimmer.

Maybe Staley. The rest have been around long enough to know better. Joining the coaching staff of a head coach in the final year of his contract on a team with the weird dynamic of the owner being the GM, only the most desperate of candidates would consider a position with the Dallas Cowboys.

Anthony Weaver is a name who excites me

He is the Assistant HC/ D Line coach of Ravens, right? If that is the guy I am in. What he did with that line. Sign me up.

 

[KingCorcoran]

What did Ron Rivera accomplish at Wash that even remotely excites this FO ? Please no more guys living off the fumes of past SB glory from the not so recent seasons .

The Dallas Cowboys are the franchise that is “living off the fumes of past SB glory”. Perfect match, if only Rivera was dumb enough to consider joining MM’s staff with his star player, “Mr. Podcast” leading the way.

 

[JW82]

External to the retirement home and unemployment line?

I'm sure they'll be scouring the Bocce and Pickle courts!

 

[Kwyn]

Tell me more

Well, the Washington board convinced themselves in about 18 hours that he was much better than Quinn despite none of them even knowing who he was.

I fully expect the same to be true here.

 

[Rockport]

That will be who it is. Better just get used to it

So many defeatists here

 

[Kwyn]

So why exactly is Rivera this dog crap candidate, gang who wanted to make Dan Quinn the Head Coach last year month?

Fixed that for you.

 

[john van brocklin]

If we hire riverboat Ron we are an unserious organization

When was the last time this organization was serious?
The Parcells years?
Been a clown show since.

Mike Nolan

Quite frankly, Brian Schottenheimer

The one person I would trust less to hire a coordinator than Jerry would be Mike freaking McCarthy.

 

[Jumbo075]

Only one on that list that is be happy to have is Vrabel

The Titans are paying Mike Vrabel $8M this coming season. I wonder if his contract would cancel if he is hired by another team in 2024. It may be in Vrabel's best interest to sit a year.

Unlikely. Unless it's written into his deal he will get paid by the Titans no matter what.

So let me get this right lame duck head coach. Lame Duck quarterback. And you might bring in a new defense.....Automatic failure coming

This upcoming season feels like things are really gonna get bad, but maybe it's for the best. They've proven they can't win with this group, the leadership on this team is poor

 

[Jumbo075]

There are only 32 Defensive Coordinator jobs in the NFL. The position will be coveted by many coaches, even if McCarthy isn't renewed until after the 2024 season.

 

[khiladi]

Just need a filler for a year that MM knows from the past, so when he’s gone, so is the DC.

 

[khiladi]

Machota says the names to look for from external candidates are Rivera, Vrabel, Martindale, Staley and Zimmer.

If they go with Staley, this next season will be a disaster of all disasters….

 

[Big_D]

Due diligence is what’s important here. I completely trust this front office.

 

[JohnsKey19]

From that list, i'm going Staley. Vrabel is more likely to sit out the year and collect his money from Tennessee.

Coaching contracts are written so if they are hired by another team, the new contract offsets the old.

Say he comes to Dallas for $5 million, Titans still pay him $3 million. If he comes here for 9 million, he gets nothing from the Titans.

so when Moore went to the Chargers last season, Jerry did not pay him his contract value, as I think he got more from LAC. Or Jerry only paid the difference.
