Demote Schotty to OC, ReHire McCarthy as HC, Fire Eberflus, ReHire Harris to Asst. Secondary / D-C

MM was ok, but Im not sure what type of competitive advantage he gave us.

Hes not a scheme guy and his in game management wasn't great.

Id rather not go backwards.
 
I'm sure McCarthy would absolutely jump at the chance to come crawling back to Dallas, after Jerry let him twist in the wind for an entire season on the last year of his contract and then dumped him for a 20 year assistant who could never get hired as a head coach somewhere else.

:laugh:
 
It’s a good thing none of you were around when jimmy Johnson came in. Y’all would have fired him too

What say you?

Cowboys under Mike McCarthy went 12-5 and playoffs bound three years in a row (2021 - 2023). Yes, they missed the playoffs in 2024, but Dak and half of the badly depleted team were injured for most of the season in 2024 as well.

Cowboys under Brian Schottenheimer (1st year as head coach in 2025) has drastically gone backwards. Currently, the Cowboys are 6-6-1 under Schotty, even though Cowboys offense and defense (mid-season) has been improved player personnel-wise in 2025 compared to 2024. Schotty has proven he is a pretty good O-Coordinator (offense ranks in the Top 5 in several categories), but he's not ready to be a head coach who can push his coaching personnel to be able to better use more talented players or build them into becoming a playoff-ready team. Schotty is another Garrett: buddy-buddy with the players.

Matt Eberflus has to go. He and his zone scheme is for the birds. Horrible hire who has contributed to most losses, drastically degraded the Cowboys defense to amongst the worst in the NFL, and stubbornly refused to play to the players best man-to-man abilities. Eberflus was simply a bad hire who has most likely cost this team a chance to reach the playoffs, his defensive strategy has tragically made this Cowboys defense worse, and he simply needs to go.

In the words of Hasbro's famous board game: "Do Not Pass Go! Do Not Collect $200! Go Directly To Jail!"

Al Harris was the Cowboys D-Secondary Backs coach from 2020 - 2024. Known for developing Pro Bowl talent like Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland, and is now the Defensive Passing Game Coordinator and DB Coach for the Chicago Bears (2025-present) under new coach Ben Johnson. His Cowboys D-Secondary was constantly ranked 21st (2020), 10th (2021), 16th (2022), 5th -10th in different metrics (2023) and 15th - 19th due to injuries to key players (2024), overall Al Harris' D-Secondary was drastically improved in pass coverage under him compared to his predecessors even the those defenses overall struggled against the run.

In comparison, the Cowboys D-Secondary in 2025 ranks at best at 24th and amongst the worst in the NFL due to key player injuries and new but worse defensive coaches.

Matt Eberflus needs to go immediately, and so do some of his assistant coaches, especially at LB and the D-Secondary.

If the Cowboys get playoffs eliminated sometime during these last 4 remaining games in what has been a badly coached team in 2025, Jerry would be wise to bring back what coaches had the Cowboys performing better and consistently making the playoffs. Not all current coaches are losses. Bring back Mike McCarthy as head coach (2 - 3 year new contract), bring back Al Harris and move him to D-Coordinator/D-Secondary Asst, demote Brian Schottenheimer from head coach to O-Coordinator (he's not ready to be a head coach, could learn some more under McCarthy, and remain in Dallas where he could keep honing his skills with Dak during his current prime years), fire Matt Eberflus immediately as soon as this season ends, fire his LBs and Secondary coaches, ReHire Al Harris and some better positional coaches. Oooh, also immediately fire the Special Teams coach and bring in someone much more better, creative, innovative but disciplined if we want a much better performing and playoffs capable Dallas Cowboys team in 2026+.

What say you?

This is what he said...

In other words, he's calling me out as being wishy-washy and unsure of what I'm thinking and speaking of. Well, I answered him. Since the beginning of this season, he has consistently attacked me and complained of why have I been so hard against Schottenheimer. When I finally try to be positive, he still complained that it wasn't genuine and I shouldn't have been complaining against Schotty to begin with. Now with Schotty being 100% responsible for the lack of effort by 90% of the team and terrible playcalling that cost us the game last week against the Lions on a must-win game to try to reach the playoffs, I rightfully called out Schotty. Right on cue, this poster comes out calling me and others out.

Looks like he is the triggered one and can't handle constructive criticism.

This doesn’t even make sense: Schottenheimer is 100% responsible for the lack of effort by 90% of the team and terrible play calling that cost us the game against the Lions? Ok, blame him if you have issue with the play calling. But players are accountable for their own effort - or lack thereof. But to tell someone “to go to hell” over football comments???? This is largely what’s wrong with America today.
 
I really despise this HC. I’ve never despised a HC of the Dallas Cowboys, but how he obtained this job after being a bum at every stop irks me. He has no business being the HC of this team. He Eberfraud can kick rocks.

Nah. That poster has been picking and picking at me all season long. I'm done being nice to him or taking his crap. It's that simple. If you were in my shoes, you would feel the same way as me (don't lie and deny it either). Nothing wrong with America, today, except for allowing bullies to keep on bullying without one finally retaliating back.

Struggling brother. 2 more chemo treatments out of 24 scheduled treatments. It's a lot, plus it's causing lots of scarring inside my lungs (leading to low oxygen saturation rates and constantly short of breath), edema (fluid build up all over my legs, hands, feet, arms and face), still some pain in the middle of my back and rear side ribs and right thigh (leg), constant tinnitus in both ears, muscle aches in forearms, plus body weakness. December 24th is last (24th) chemo treatment. Scheduled for another pet/CT scan in early January to see if I have gone into remission or not. If not (since I'm end stage 3 (last stage) of multiple myeloma cancer in my blood and bone marrow, I plan on applying for clinical trials and starting a homeopathic approach of attacking this cancer with ivermectin, mebendazole (both are repurposed anti-parisitic drugs being found lately to help many late term cancer patients either reach remission or halt their cancer from getting worse or causing death), plus other daily supplements and start a keto diet. The key is to give me more time as in months or years until hopefully something better is discovered by top medical scientists. If nothing works, I guess I won't be around here much longer..
