Fish: Klingsbury is "Auditioning" for Jerry

[cowboyjoe12]

I would love to see Flores here, and if he wasn't on the list then Vrabel and as a last resort the Hoodie.

I know if you just looked at news articles one would think Flores was not a good coach and had a tendency to be a whiner and complainer who sued the NFL.

I think his overall record an development as a coach is the kind of resume I like. From the bottom up as an assistant scout. He worked under the hoodie in the disciplinarian environment, and has had some success after the up and down learning period with the Dolphins.

I am interested in his defence that relies on players who are not "dumb". It is a complex defence that emphasizes players doing their job right all the time. There is very little margin for error.

I am interested in seeing a culture change in the Cowboys, and having a locker room and team focused on weeding out "stupid" players is something I thikn would help. If there is a coaching change I want someone from the Belichick coaching tree. I know there are other more talented and innovative coaching individuals, but I feel the best type of coach for the current team and current ownership is a hardass personality.

Last, I suspect he has a bit of an edge with him, and could take on the nonsense of carnival barker GMs like Jerry and Stephen Jones.

Don't want Flores, why look at his championship, super bowls records, vrabel yes, but what I would do is hire vrabel as defensive coordinator, let him run defense entirely, even the culture in the locker room, hire Ben Johnson as head coach or Kingsbury. This team needs a running game, a innovative offensive genius, I'm seriously hoping this team keeps losing and Jerry Jones is forced like he was to hire parcels, and Jerry has to give up more control to Kingsbury or Ben Johnson as head coach and vrabel as defensive coordinator

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

Risen is a chubby chaser...who knew he was down with the thiccness?

 

[fivetwos]

You actually think our GM and his giggling assistant watch film?

Trust me. Today is an audition.

That’s exactly what I meant. It shouldn’t be.

I’m well aware that they don’t do anything close to what GMs need to.

Dak never won anything with really good teams and when healthy

He’s winning nothing now
Stop wasting time

Pay Johnson (Lions OC) to be HC
Recommend Saleh for DC but should be HC final decision

Draft a QB rd1
If the rookie comes in and does well in TC, tell Dak he can be traded or sit, his choice.
Take the cap hit, no restructure

Trade Parsons and Diggs for big time draft capital to restock the talent

Next year will be a rebuilding year but if the QB hits we will be competing in 2026

Takes some balls and Jerry does not have any

Would love it— but there is no way they are moving on from Dak for at least 2 years.

They invested the money in him, the least they can do is give him the support he needs to play at his optimal level.

Without it he has zero chance to win big. With it— he has a very slim chance.

Oh Lord. This guy already showed he isn't a NFL HC. Why run it back and hire him here? It feels like a JG type hire.

 

[Rayman70]

We passed on DQ , had him on staff, let him walk, now we might hire one of his underlings? Lol...wow...The ineptitude is horrific.

 

[ApolytonGP]

Kliff would not be a good HC. He needs to stay in Washington and work as an OC.

Also Dan Quinn is all washed up and lost the GB playoff game.

He might achieve McCarthy-like success with the right players.

 

[Rayman70]

Is this front office even capable of forward thinking? Why not hire a guy like Ben Johnson? I'd even be fine with Vrabel. He is kinda an out of the box type hire. Unconventional. But I like it. KK just seems like Jerry is hiring another buddy like JG. Dude won't last more than 2 years here.

 

[kumizi]

That would be another bad hire. He’s a good play caller/offensive mind but he’s not a guy that has a commanding presence over the entire team.

I would much prefer a real head coach like Vrabel.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Klingsbury as offensive coordinator is a yes. Get Mike Vrabel as HC to fix the defense and try it again.

Because they want cheap, yes men

 

[SlammedZero]

This would be an underwhelming hire, which, is exactly why it'll probably happen. A typical Jerry move.

The correct answer is sitting in Detroit right now, but we all know the chances of that.

IMO I think the team needs a culture rooted in discipline and operational expertise.

That is not Kingsbury or Ben Johnson right now.

They need someone from a disciplinarian tree. We have players who are not executing and doing their jobs. Both Kingsbury and Johnson are not proven in doing turnaround situations, and certainly not noted for controlling a locker room or a owner.

We need someone with a bit of grit and can take on both players and the ruling mgmt.

 

[Havic]

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.

Idk about this season but in years past Harris said he wasn’t involved with scheme nor play calling

 

[Doomsday]

I want a head coach not a glorified coordinator running the offense with someone else running the defense.

So…not do well in the playoffs?

The same HC who took Arizona by storm, was on top of the world with a pretty good team and it all came crashing down when his team, which was still a pretty dam good team, IMPLODED and Kingsbury was shown the door. This is the HC you think JJ has in mind, I don't think so............

So…not do well in the playoffs?

2019: 5-10-1 (eliminated from playoff contention/finished 12th in the conference)
2020: 8-8 (eliminated from playoff contention/finished 7th in the conference)
2021: 11-6 (qualified as a 5th seed wild card/eliminated by the Rams in the wild card round)
2022: 4-13 (eliminated from playoff contention/finished 15th in the conference)
