News: Fisher: Jerry Plans 'Home-Run Hire' at Coach, 'Swing For Fences' - Anonymous NFL Owner

[Aven8]

It’s Mike Fisher but interesting comment from another NFL owner.

FRISCO - Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones vows that his organization is "all in'' toward trying to win big in 2024. And he has at least one high-powered and high-profile colleague who believes him - at least when it comes to Dallas' search for a new defensive coordinator to replace Dan Quinn.

"Watch him,'' a fellow NFL owner tells CowboysSI.com on the condition of anonymity. "Jerry wants a home-run hire. He's swinging for the fences here.''

It's going to be boring failed retread Rivera or boring failed retread Zimmer. Either one will set this franchise back several years and get fired in less than 3 years.

Would we hate someone like Marvin Lewis here? Accomplished, respected and probably willing to do it for one year.

He’s with the Raiders helping Pierce I believe

 

[Jipper]

How much do you think Jerry paid fisher to say that

 

[Aven8]

A Home run would be BB, Saban, or Vrabel. Interesting however that Pete Carroll was mentioned.

Dom Capers...McCarthy yearns for the old days. j/k

Both KC coordinators are former NFL HC’s.

Don't believe anything Jerry says. He's just trying to get some support back by making BS promises he never intends to keep.

I'm assuming we get a retread but next year MM is fired and we have to start over anyway. So whoever we hire could very well be one and done.

He didn’t say it. An anonymous Owner did.

The "home run" will probably be a new sponsor for the at&t art gallery

“Swinging for the fences” is a nice way of saying undermining your head coach… again.

That's actually a reason to think it's very plausible.

Would we hate someone like Marvin Lewis here? Accomplished, respected and probably willing to do it for one year.

Loved to hate him as Bengals' HC, but absolutely can imagine him as an excellent choice for this assignment.

Thanks for the thought... I'd recalled John Fox as a same kind-of candidate, but I like your idea better.

Wasn't Marvin a dark horse candidate for head coach until McCarthy's interview back when? I think so. There's some regard held for him in The Star, I'm sure.

retread

This is the most empty insult and yet the most repeated... so tedious.

You might rule out a guy on the basis that you don't think he has the same energy and motivation that he did earlier in his career. But argue that. That. And provide your reason/evidence for that conclusion.

It's amazing to have to say it. But I have and will. Having long-time NFL experience is not a negative, but a positive.

I would say that the new defensive coordinator , would be someone who would be promised the head coaching position .So look for a coach who could takeover for McCarthy if things go south for Dallas in 2024.

Who probably heard it from Jerry ????

Belicheat....

Than it’s definitely not Rivera.

Pete Carroll

Whoa. I'd be all over that.

And I have to wonder if Carroll didn't accept the demotion on the basis of the thinking that his old buddy Quinn would be the new guy... and now, that not being the case, maybe??? Maybe he's up to other opportunities???
