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

That's all horse stuff. First off in McCarthy's first year we won 6 games which was worse than the year before. And what about last year's 7 win team? This year we aren't coming off a 12 win season we are coming off a 7 win season - and we had a better record in games Dak didn't start than in games he did last year, so don't play that card. This team's 12 win seasons are history in large part because McCarthy helped tear it down. We were soft and no threat to anyone in the games that mattered and had to completely re-make the team. McCarthy only has an NFL HC resume` because of HOF QBs. Go ask GB people what they think of him as a HC

2020 no playoffs
2021 one and done. Lost as a home favorite
2022 1-1 in playoffs and again beat up and manhandled by SF.
2023 one and done and absolutely B slapped by a 9 win WC GB team at home and sent home embarrassed
2024 no playoffs

I don't know about you, but this is NOT what I am looking for from the Dallas Cowboys

Are you ignorant or just act like it?

You know very well why McCarthy's 2020 team only won 6 games (Dak had his leg broken in several places early in the season) and last year in 2024, Dak once again suffered another season ending injury early in the season on a talent-less team where 1/3rd of the team left via free agency and almost half of the remaining team got injured throughout last season.

From 2021 - 2023 when the team stayed healthy and had good talent, the team went 12-5 all 3 seasons, plus reached the playoffs.

As for this year's 6-6-1 team, Schotty and his coaches have cost our Cowboys 5 out of those 6 losses based on terrible coaching decisions and playcalling. That is directly on the coaching staff. Totally inexcusable.

Brian S. is not going anywhere anytime soon.
Eberflus will be back in 2026. He gets a chance to improve the defense.
Yes it sucked in the early games, and has its moments now. But we seen improvement when they got some players back for IR, and the Q. Williams trade. That is enough for Jerry to keep him.
Jerry will give him a chance with some players from the draft, and fix the mistakes form the FA's.

at no time should our defense be porous enough to allow 44 points to an injured offense.

Eberflus needs to go
 
I mean, sure, let’s get another coach, a few more players, maybe even a new stadium to help prop Dak up. How many people have to lose their jobs just to keep carrying this guy?

Honestly, I’m hoping Elon invents a time machine so we can go back and bring Bill and Tom to Dallas. Tom could spot us a huge lead, and then we could let Dak come in to “get the win.”

And hey, on the final play of the Super Bowl, with the game already locked up, Bill could put Dak in so he can “win” that too.

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.

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?

Again, last year the team's record was better without Dak than with Dak so your Dak injury excuse is weak and meaningless. Using making the playoffs as a barometer when you are one and done and sent home embarrassed is for losers and for Jerry and his brown-nosing sycophants. McCarthy is a joke as a HC. Any Cowboy fan that would want him back must not have watched them play and if you think Schotty and his coaches cost us 5 out of the 6 losses you have no idea about football and the fact that you are stating you still want him as OC at the same time you are stating this, it just reinforces you are making crap up, are all over the place or back to the more likely of you have no idea about football. Clearly you are on the defensive here and for good reason. Your premise is moronic. You should have tapped out on page 1. :laugh:
 
GP is UFA and is going to leave.

Problem will solve itself.

Dallas salary cap for 2026 is mess anyway.

Jerry got to watch GP jog through his routes in a must win Detroit game.

They should promote Eber like they did Monte.

Make him a special defense advisor, etc etc

Put him in the sky box with a notepad and a radio.

Need a DC

So speaks the high school band boy who never played football. You prefer a head coach who with a healthy Dak and an improved roster than 2024's team can't even get us into the playoffs. You losers definitely love to defend your kind: bunch of losers.

The fact that you can do nothing but attempt to deflect to baseless insults instead of even attempting to come up with an intelligent defense to your clearly flawed premise only reinforces how wrong you are. Again, you should have tapped out long ago. You are just embarrassing yourself at this point. You should pretend you need an emergency appendectomy.

For decades, I have been around 90% correct on anything Cowboys. I will take my knowledge and experience any day over your speeches.

MM? Really bud? While we're at it, just dump Schotty and bring back the ginger genius as OC? The results ain't gonna be good, but at least we'll get some great commentary from ol Ranching.
