What's leftover from Parcells? Structure. This franchise thrived on chaos from the time Jerral bought the team, up until Parcells was brought on board. Under Bill, everyone had a defined role with set expectations. Players played football, coaches had authority, scouting department was/is thorough and detail oriented, and unfortunately Jerral had the final say. Wade Phillips and Jason Garret followed a similar approach. The players mutinied under Philips and Garrett couldn't get over the hump, but both were weak head coaches. That structure is what allowed Garrett to last a long as he did. "Trust the process". Garrett sucked as a HC, but his teams were talented enough and tough enough to carry him to the playoffs fairly regularly. The asylum ran the inmates.
Under McCarthy, we've seen the opposite. Look at what we've seen in the media with Micah, Dak, and CeeDee. Look at what we're seeing on the field this year, a year where everything is supposed to fall into place for a coach. It's freakin anarchy in that locker room, on the sideline, and on the field. The inmates are running the asylum, just as they did before Parcells.
With that said, what good is a younger coach going to do if he's inheriting a rough roster full of overpaid, undisciplined divas and has to run every move by Jerral? What experience does said coach have to lean on to guide him through those sorts of challenges. All of the coaches you've named never had to deal with Jerry Jones as owner. He's a massive handicap that makes life difficult for everyone around him. A young coach isn't going to be able to command his respect. If there's no respect, he will run all over any coach. We've seen this. We are seeing this. What I'm taking about is bringing in Belichicks structure and culture, because they're proven winners, and even Jerral can't deny that. You get the ball rolling and continue that coaching tree here. It's the best shot we have at building a championship level franchise with Jerry Jones in charge.
I agree with what you're saying, but I don't think it's realistic. Jerry Jones and his ego have been our undoing for near 3 decades. To think he would take a step back and let a young buck run his show is naive. It has to be someone that he respects. Belichick is a legend. It's a perfect fit for the restructure that this franchise needs. Let Bill pave the road and pad his win column, and pick a young, promising coach from his coaching tree to carry the torch. You get your great young coach with mentorship from the best NFL coach ever. How is that not a grand slam move?
