If true the only thing Jerry will take from this is that his defense is so incredible it made Klingsbury look bad.

NO DEFENSIVE CHANGES NEEDED!!!!

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
Today's W was a pyrrhic victory. Only hurts us in the end. You have to commit to a strategy and make tough decisions...including loading up L's to secure a better draft position. This is Jerry gambling on Lady Luck 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.
It would depend who Jerry hires for all of KK’s assistant coaches lol.

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.
No chance of Flores here....Jerry won't hire a guy that went after the NFL. Won't ever happen.

The quick reply is interview failed.

All that said, I think the meme is too quick to blame KK and not the personnel, especially the QB. (And I like him...but I just don't ride his jock like a stripper for Dwayne Haskins birthday.)

I enjoy your posts.

But why is "Doesn't like talking to the press" a weakness?

doubt it.
if jerry hires an offensive "guy",it'll be kellen moore.
maybe lincoln riley...but that chatter has gone away.
we all know what he thinks of moore.

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.
I'd make Harris d q. I'd like a creative oc who confuses defensr
We and adjusts from qtr to qtr

I'd rather promote Harris to HC than entertain Kingsbury as a candidate to replace McCarthy.
