Harbaugh has to be the obvious first option as coach of the Cowboys

[JBS]

Belichick is 72 years old. I don’t think he is or would be a long term answer at HC.

That’s fine. Doesn’t make harbaugh a better coach than him. Better fit for today? You can argue that

 

[JBS]

He isn't leaving Michigan. He is the big dog now with Saban gone.

He’s absolutely leaving Michigan. He’s not going back

 

[Sydla]

We have had Mike McCarthy, Jason Garrett, Dave Campo, Chan Gailey and Wade Phillips be our coaches. That seems like a list of guys who settled for them who we actually wanted or needed.

There are additional criteria when Jerry selects a coach. It's not about finding the very best coach possible.

It's about finding the best coach he can that will operate within the obvious limitations that Jerry as GM has put in place.

To anyone with a brain, that means you are working from a smaller pool of candidates, which isn't ideal.

I don't think Harbaugh is interested in working in Dallas, tbh.

 

[Sydla]

He's taking interviews with NFL teams.

Unless this is a big leverage play (he already had a big offer on the table from UM), he's clearly got interest in leaving for the NFL.

 

[CTcowboy203]

Agree completely.

Agree. Belechick is arguably one of the top head coaches in the history of the game. It would be great if it was 10 years ago but I don’t know if he has the stamina to start up a hole new career with the Cowboys.

No, sorry. Parcells was given total control. That's why we had to watch them select Bobby Carpenter in the first round in 2006 because Parcells coached his father. That's why he brought in so many of his old Jets and Patriots players (Terry Glenn, Keyshawn Johnson, Ryan Young, Aaron Glenn, Richie Anderson, etc.).

Parcells had no limitations here or else he would not have taken the job. Jerry Jones is at fault for a lot, but he is not as much of a meddler as he's made out to be. Not defending him, just making a point.

No he wasn't. Jerry had control. But Jerry also has been known to put too much value in what his coaches tell him. Think of the duds we drafted because of Rod Marinelli? Jerry loved Rod and took his inputs seriously. I mean Jerry took Trysten Hill largely due to Marinelli's input. We passed on TJ Watt for Taco Charlton because Marinelli told Jerry that Watt wouldn't fit in what we were doing and gave the seal of approval to Charlton despite the scouts lobbying for Watt.

If you don't think Jerry has always had HEAVY influence in all aspects of the football operations, even when Parcells was here, then you just weren't paying attention.

 

[SuspectCorner]

LOL.

Bill Parcells was literally pulled out of a TV studio to coach us. He was a shell of a former coach and he was so desperate to get back into coaching, he was willing to swallow the obvious limitations he'd have in Dallas.

No coach worth his salt, like a Harbaugh, who is going to want to have a lot of say in the football operations is going to work within the structure put in place here in Dallas unless Jerry has a come to Jesus moment and understands his limitations as a GM.

I’d have to call yesterday’s events ‘a come to Jesus moment’ … am I the only one?

I agree but I also don’t think working for Jerry is ideal. I guess Parcells came here because he was promised control but Jerry still overrides him on the Ware and TO moves.

I mean to a normal person sure.

To Jerry? Who knows.

 

[CATCH17]

In no world is harbaugh a better coach than bill belichick. Let’s stop with the stupidity already

Buh buh buh Brady…


People who think Belichick was only good because of Brady have got to have the lowest of the low football IQ’s.

Bro it’s absolutely mental how this is a legitimate topic for some people. It’s amongst the dumbest things I’ve ever heard in all of football. And that’s really saying something

 

[kskboys]

Surprised why all the talk is about beliceck and not the best coach out there who is an Offenaive coach with incredible discipline and coaching acumen and has won at every level .
he is much younger than beliceck and should be the priority in any coaching hire .

You think Jerry is ready to give up all control?

Right?

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Some of you are posting on emotion.......zero proof top candidates won't be interested in working for the Cowboys. In fact, I would argue the Cowboys' structure would be more attractive than most openings. Why.........no the coach wanna deal with a lot of layers of management or chefs in the kitchen ( GM, VP, Pres ) coz when things get hot, guess who is looking out for the coach? This happened with the Panthers and Titans. But with the Cowboys, head coaches communicate directly with the GM, Pres, and owner.

Not as much, moreso.

Tuna was the only one Jerry gave control to, and he couldn't wait to get it back.

BTW, if Jerry retains Tuna, we win against the Giants and have a good chance to win the super bowl.

 

[cowboysfan99]

If there’s an obvious move, Jerry will never see it

Parcells quit, Jerry didn't let him go. Tuna was mentally drained after Romo's fumbled snap against Seattle in the playoffs and didn't want to go through it all again.

Kind of like how I am feeling right now haha.

If the Steelers lose today and Tomlin is fired, I would go all in on him. History of putting out disciplined, aggressive teams that run and stop the run. Even with sub par QB play always seems to put a good product on the field.
