Fish: Klingsbury is "Auditioning" for Jerry

[Hawkeye0202]

It's Fish .......but I have read a couple of other nuggets Kingsbury would be high on Jerry's list to replace MM.

 

[CowboyStar88]

As long as you get a solid DC. Robert Saleh or Mike Vrabel (if he’s not a HC anywhere) would work. Or if we’re looking to promote from within Al Harris, but I have a feeling he goes off to DC with DQ after this season.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Not my first choice, but not the worst candidate in the world.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Not a fan. Would be an underwhelming hire to say the least.

I prefer someone from the Kyle Shanahan tree that will implement a modern run oriented scheme and actually commit to the ground attack.

Having a decent running game is the only possible way we can succeed with Dak at QB.

You are paying him crazy money, might as well surround him with the weapons you know he has to have to even have a small chance of success

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Jerry loves other teams' trash.

Jerry looks for coaches that were previously fired. They are the most grateful and easiest to control because they are the most thankful for another chance.

 

[Risen Star]

Man, he has to get a whole lot fatter before I get interested.

Jerry looks for coaches that were previously fired.

Every coach was previously fired somewhere though.

 

[RS12]

Is a new owner auditioning for Jerry? That is what the franchise needs..

 

[big dog cowboy]

"I think a lot of him, he’s a friend," Jones said of Kingsbury via 105.3 The Fan. "I think he’s done an outstanding job every place he’s been. I really think a lot of him and I think that he was ideal in working with the young quarterback.”

He is a former HC in this league and Jerry hiring him wouldn't surprise me at all.

 

[Carson]

I wouldn’t be mad at it. He’s had success with several quarterbacks and I like his offensive scheme.

In reality, these are the hires you need to all prepare yourself for.

-Former NFL coach
-Will accept a role for $4-$5 million a season.
-Won’t rock the boat at Jerry World
-OK with being Jerry’s yes man.

Eliminate the Belichick, Ben Johnson, Slowik etc

Itll be among the Kingsbury, Flores, Vrabel mold.

 

[CTcowboy203]

Not too enthusiastic about him. Rather Slowik or Johnson (who I don’t think will come here), prefer them off kingsbury

 

[nightrain]

Yes, it's so important to have a friend work for you in a performance based business so you can let your heartstrings guide the decision making process.

 

[Carson]

Slowik and Johnson aren’t real candidates here.

They will want to bring their guys and want $$$.

Kingsbury will be happy to be a head coach again

I’m a big Texas Tech fan and have some strong opinions about Kliff. He’s a brilliant offensive mind but a lousy HC. Remember it was Kingsbury who recruited and developed Patrick Mahomes at Tech. Somehow with the great Mahomes on board, Tech only had a winning record once.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot to like about Kingsbury, but some downers too.Here are the strengths and weaknesses Of KK as a head coach as I see it.
STRENGTHS

• One of the most innovative in offensive scheme and play calling in football today.
• Relates well to the players.
• Hard working. A coach who lives and breathes in the film room.
• Good judge of offensive talent.
• Aggressive; not afraid to take chances.
• Develops young QBs very well.

WEAKNESSES

• His teams always start well, then fade.
• His teams never seem to have a good defense. I can only surmise that he spends little time talking to his defensive coaches and players.
• Not a great disciplinarian. His teams are usually high in number of penalties.
• His personality is somewhat introverted. Doesn’t love talking to the press.

My final take on Kliff Kingsbury is he’s an offensive genius who is a great offensive coordinator but not a great head coach. IMO he’s best as an OC. Jerry would love that he doesn’t want a lot of media spotlight.

That’s why you bring in Saleh or Vrabel

I don’t agree about slowik and as much as I respect your opinion me and you really have no idea who is a “real” candidate here in terms of their interest. Disingenuous to say something so matter of factly, How would Slowik not want to at least interview?

kingsbury weakensses fit right in with what jerry jones wants for a headcoach. a coach that brings shinny fancy offense with no defense to compete in the playoffs. no way a defensive minded head coach even would want to coach this team.

 

[Bobhaze]

That’s why you bring in Saleh or Vrabel

Saleh? In three and a half years with the jets as HC he’s 20-36, no playoff appearances. He has been a great DC. Lousy HC. I just don’t see him as an upgrade here.

 

[CarolinaFathead]

Meh…

This would be a very underwhelming hire and I wouldn’t be impressed, but that’s why Jerry would love him. Handing second chance opportunities to previously failed head coaches are absolute gold as a manipulative tool.

 

[The Natural]

There’s some ridiculous stat out there about this guy’s record in the second half of seasons compared to the first half. No thank you.
