I listened to alot of Dallas Cowboys podcasts today and they are all backing McCarthy

[kevm3]

If I had to guess, I'd say with his interview activity (Seattle et al), DQ has probably "crossed the Rubicon" as the expression goes. So, Jerruh holds a presser this week to announce an impact hire (a new DC), complete with introductions, grip and grin photos all around. and MM is there.
and so, the tone is set, there's your change for 2024. This happened a number of times during the moribund Garrett era, if I recall correctly.

Yep, they will just sell us on a DC change.

Cowboys media are pushing the company line in regard to Dak and Fat Mike, only Broaddus said otherwise.

Derek Eagleton pushed against the idea of getting rid of Dak (Jerry's obvious agenda)

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

Timeline fits but I’ll honestly be very surprised if it’s not just mm back and the expectation of Quinn moving on to a hc spot elsewhere

He's under contract there is no reason to announce he's coming back.

 

[CTcowboy203]

He's under contract there is no reason to announce he's coming back.

That’s exactly my point

 

[WillieBeamen]

I don't blame McCarthy for our poor play. I blame Jerry/Stephen, Dak and Dan Quinn.
If the GM/owner and his kid did their jobs we'd have a real GM.
If Dan Quinn did his job he would have made sure the defense could stop the run.....and if he didn't have the players then it goes back to Jerry/Stephen.
Dak falls apart in almost every big game the Cowboys play. He needs to go.

Great post

Honestly I am fine with McCarthy. Actually, I feel like he is a good coach to have if they’re going to get rid of Dak, and try to develop Lance or a draft pick.

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

That’s exactly my point

I responded to the wrong quote.

No worries buddy

I’m fine if they decide to move on from MM but I think many are down playing how hard it is to make sure you find a coach that’s definitely better. It’s always a roll of the dice hiring someone but McCarthy is a good coach, now he may just not be good enough to get us where we want but if you move on from him it has to be an established guy. It can’t be a lateral move. He’s 36-15 over the last 3 years even if the playoffs have been an utter failure.

It has to be a belichick or a harbaugh who at least on paper can excite the fan base and alleviate the risk that you hired a worse coach. I don’t want BB but there’s at least the allure of him being an all time great coach that I see the risk. I also think at some point the players need to own SOME of the blame. They are getting a real pass Imo.

That said I’m confident jerry will bring in new d coordinators and staff and let big Mike go into this thing in a prove it contract year.

IMO Jerry will only let MM go if he has a ‘sexy’ pick as you stated like Harbaugh and, to a lesser extent Belichick. Jerry is going to be losing a ton of money once people stop renewing their season tickets which they use as investments. A new head coach will have to keep the fans interested which is the only thing Jerry truly cares about anyway.

Jerry can kick the can one season in which the only people losing money will be the ones who bought season tickets to re-sell. Once you go longer than that though then the renewals stop and it starts affecting his wallet directly.

I have noticed it too. Typical enablers they are. They are fine with it. YT content creators, the DC.com guys are all foolishly backing MM it seems. Its really a weird echo-chamber that Jerry has created...thus a big problem and culture issue.

I'm done. They run this back I'm not wasting my time. This GM/HC/QB combo sucks.

Leading up to the game, Jones felt the need to walk back a comment he made on McCarthy's future, when he said, "We'll see how each game goes in the playoffs."

After the game, Jones told reporters that the Cowboys' loss was one of the biggest surprises he'd ever experienced in football and that the blowout left him “floored.” He added "This (loss) seems like the most painful. … This is beyond my comprehension.”

He ain't keepin' that guy, not with THAT kind of loss at home. And he shouldn't. The team looked unprepared and overwhelmed, AT HOME, AS THE #2 SEED. McCarthy's offense started the game like they hadn't watched any tape on the Packers all week. McCarthy tried to force-feed the running game to start the game when the Cowboys hadn't had a consistent running game ALL SEASON. So in a playoff game, let's not center the offensive plan around the QB who was in the discussion for MVP, and who led the league in TDs....and instead focus on inconsistent Pollard, the mediocre run-blocking offensive line, and non-blocking TEs - a line often blown backward on 1st down runs?????

BYE McCarthy!

 

[gtdRR]

the weak argument by many content creators and the dc.com guys is, "Dak aint going anywhere." 'Get use to it." Whats weak about that statement, even if its true, I see no push back...no real passion. Its the Mickey Spagnola mindset.

Honestly, they are probably right, at least they acknowledge it. We are the dumb ones who keep following this team while not getting paid for it and keep hoping that something will change. Definition of insanity.

 

[DFWJC]

Don't shoot the messenger but most people around the league think MM did a great job this year.....but then we had Sunday.

The playoff failure was baffling but I put that on the overall defense and specifically Dak on the offense.
Rewatching the game...those were the culprits.
I'm sure Dak looked fine all week in practice so I'm not sure what we could expect MM to do. Dak just sucked, plain and simple.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

If it comes down to McCarthy and Dak, I pick McCarthy.

 

[SlammedZero]

Another good thing to listen to is the Show with ex-WR Isaiah Stanback. I thought he did a good job explaining what makes Dak choke on reading defenses. He is fully in CeeDee’s corner and understands why he gets so frustrated.

I've become a big fan of his this season. Him and Machota are the only reason I tune into Talkin' Cowboys.

I doubt they know what Jerry wants to do yet.

I bet they were still endorsing Garrett those two weeks or whatever Garrett kept going in to work as his contract expired.

 

[noshame]

If Jerry tries to bandaid this, sub .500 here we come.

 

[Rayman70]

McCarthy is a Tomata can

 

[morat1959]

No HC or OC gets a fair shake with Dak as their starting QB.
