I don’t really care if Richard stays or goes

[Buzzbait]

He’s probably going to have a HC opportunity soon. Being a DC may not be enough to keep him around. If he really wants to be a HC, why would he stay here? Many on these boards act like we just need to pay him big bucks to stay. But for guys who really want to be a HC, throwing cash at them isn’t a guarantee to work.

If I was Jerry Jones and Richard's dream was to be a HC, I'd be glad to make his dream come true.
No way would I let Richard get away.

Dude got fired jus last year.

The Def coordinator was let go and the new coordinator brought in his own people.

Can you say ROONEY RULE

And any coach, regardless of race can decline the offer of an interview. All coaches will interview to build their resume.

 

[Buzzbait]

Haven't seen not one replacement nominee for Richard thru all the discrediting of his impact. Byron Jones would still be a FS...they didn't know what to do with him. It took a "Real" DB coach to get things right back there.

If Richard is gone cool, but go get somebody who can coach up all this talent, and not just hold a job b/c of the talent...…….

…...like a certain HC we all know.

 

[Ranched]

Gotta disagree with you.

Richard is an elite coach.

And this is why you have 27 Likes verses the OP's, 5 for your post. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how much Richard improvised our D since Jerry grabbed him up.

I think Coach Richards is the best Coach that has been here in a very long time. He deserves a HC job. The three teams that interviewed him: don't go there, Coach! although it is flattering to be considered. They are not winning organizations! Wait a little bit longer for a better opportunity. You have been a match made in heaven for the Cowboys and elevated this team in ways that cannot be measured. Make Jerry give you a big raise and elevate you here!

Wasn't Bill Bellicheck fired from the browns?

I think he had turned the team around and was about to make a run. Then the team was sold and moved to Baltimore. Very unusual circumstances.

 

[Rayman70]

He is the DC. He’s only “db coach” in name

yup. its no secret granny Marinelli wants to retire.

 

[Rayman70]

Newsflash: If he's not here, we're not in playoffs.

stark reality!!!! agree. NOWAY are we beating the saints without him,nor winning those final 7 games. He was the best move we made last offseason...bar none.

Richard has championship pedigree and the youthfulness that some teams will be looking for since the rams went with sean mcvay. He also clearly has the respect of his players.

I definitely don't see it in NY. Not sure about TB and Miami thus far. I definitely think the league is leaning toward offensive minded head coaches. However you can still bring in a defensive guy as long as you have the right "offensive guru" to handle your young quarterback.

Bottom line - Richard will at the very least get a D coordinator job you would think. So at the very least you would expect that he's going to be promoted to that position full time with a pay raise. Hopefully Jerry and co can prioritize this and keep him around. They can obviously pay him. Keep stability on the defense. let marinelli stay on as the consultant if he wants.

he aint leaving. Jerry may be a lot of things...but stupid isn't one of them.

 

[Rayman70]

if JG poops the bed saturday...RICHARD WILL BE OUR HC IN 2019. At worst, JJ redoes his deal,bumps up his pay, and gives him the official DC title.. Rod retires.

 

[Rayman70]

I also see Richaed being named HC/DC no matter the outcome,with Ben Bloom being named joint DC with Richard.

 

[ItzKelz]

Lots of people slobbering over a guy that isn’t even the DC of a defense that was about the same as last year. Why? Because he has “passion” I guess. I know he’ll get interviews but what he has shown besides “passion” that make people think he’ll be a good HC? “Passion” lasts about a week so hopefully he has more to offer.

I think Kris could be a great DC for us but Ive said since we've had him that I would not want him as a head coach. Starting over with an inexperience HC is not appealing to me. Not to mention what makes Kris attractive as a coach at all is what he does on the defensive side of the ball.....who would be our DC....who would Kris bring in as our OC.....heck our entire staff.

 

[Hoofbite]

I'd like to keep him around, but I don't blame him if he takes a HC gig. He's worked his way up and now he has a chance.

 

[charleshaleyfan94]

yup. its no secret granny Marinelli wants to retire.

John Harbaugh was also only the ST's Coach of the Eagles. How has that worked out for the Ravens? Have to look at the man and his impact on his team.

 

[KalEl]

Do you have a source for this?

I agree. He is a good coach but it was good defensive drafting that makes our defense good.

 

[Rayman70]

YES...only every NFL announcer and or pundit covering the cowboys for the last 2 years. Marinelli himself has mentioned it. Im not very tech savvy, so if you want a link or more info, you need to go find it yourself.

Richard took a failed experiment at safety that everyone said was a bust and made him a Pro-Bowl corner................I think that's pretty good............
