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

[john van brocklin]

So, just to add to all I've already asserted that debunks this... I have to thank you for helping that effort when you yourself say...


You want to win in 2024?

Then, of course... hire someone who has incentive to want to lose out of self-interest.

Nah.

Jerry loves keeping his options open. This time and every time. The most he'd do is tell a new guy in so many words, "do a good job, and we'll have to consider you if we change course later."

Not saying I want this to happen.
But with the crazy way our front office operates, I would not rule it out.

I wanted Marvin Lewis over McCarthy

I was scared of Marvin Lewis. Granted, who knows how much Mikey Boy Brown in Cincy held him back. But that was a helluvalotta seasons to coach a team with practically zero to show for it. If nothing else, I was down on Lewis for being content to remain in that football purgatory for that long. Should have given Brown an ultimatum to hire a real GM and give up control of roster decisions or else I'm leaving. That would have been a sign of a man with integrity and backbone.

But for DC? Can't help but be intrigued.

Why would we keep MM then? I really don’t understand what they’re doin aside from punting on this upcoming year

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

Than it’s definitely not Rivera.

Or Zimmer..

 

[Runwildboys]

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


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.


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.

Unless that experience is being repeatedly fired.

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.

it may be Pete Carroll

 

[DandyDon52]

None of those 4 would take a coordinator job.

they might if the $ was right and were promised to be the next HC at the salary they want.

 

[_sturt_]

Unless that experience is being repeatedly fired.

Um. Fired as HC is not all that relevant. But yes if you're speaking to fired as DC.

 

[Runwildboys]

Um. Fired as HC is not all that relevant. But yes if you're speaking to fired as DC.

And just to be clear, I wasn't referring to anyone in particular.

 

[DandyDon52]

it may be Pete Carroll

it may be anyone, lol but I would prefer BB, Pete, Vrabel in that order, and no zimmer.

 

[GMO415]

I can see Pete Carroll here.

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.''

Most likely it will be Zimmer.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I can see Pete Carroll here.

You see him leaving his cushy front office job?

 

[KingintheNorth]

Home Run hire!

 

[Typhus]

Jimmy is coming back home.... ducking

 

[GMO415]

You see him leaving his cushy front office job?

He's an outside social cat.

 

[KingintheNorth]

You see him leaving his cushy front office job?

Pete is super competitive and a little bit butt hurt.


Not sure he would take a DC job but would make things interesting in Dallas.

 

[SinceDayOne]

I smell a Jerry Jones fed story to his pet media hack Mike Fisher. Sound like the things those two birds would try.

 

[Awakened]

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

Lewis was hired yesterday to be assistant head coach for the Raiders.

 

[erod]

they might if the $ was right and were promised to be the next HC at the salary they want.

How dysfunctional is that though? The DC benefits if the head coach gets fired.
