I think Callahan is HC in waiting

[KJJ]

Jimmy did

Jimmy had a roster full of young players who had just come from college. He just took over a 3 win team that was in complete rebuild mode from the front office to the roster. It was almost like taking over an expansion team. Most of the older players on the team knew if they couldn't stick on that roster their careers were probably done. Jimmy's approach got results.

I know what Jimmy had, what I'm saying he took an ax to that team he put in his people and his players.

In the case of Saban he also took over a bad team as well and while he is accused of not being nice? Who said you have to be a nice guy as HC? Teams are not normally democracies they are more like dictatorships where the HC will have things done his way or that player is gone.

I think some would view Jimmy as not so nice when a guy is having an asthma attack and Jimmy is telling him to get off his field and go to the asthma field or having your best WR left at the airport even when Jimmy knew Irvin was at the airport just not on the plane yet Jimmy told them to take off anyways. Myself I think he was being a hardnosed coach and being who he was. HC should not be about popularity contest

Jimmy did in his time in Miami too. Marino and Jimmy were oil and water.

True but Jimmy was also the GM as well as HC.

There was a post the other day about would Jimmy have shipped Emmitt off had he stayed around and many said yes towards the end Jimmy would have done so like Parcells. Yet Jimmy did not send Marino packing even though you could see Dan was at the end of his career. So why would people think Jimmy would have shipped Emmitt out?

Won't be hard to be better than Garrett, with Romo as QB on this team especially for an experienced coach like Callahan.

Still need an OL, or it won't matter who the playcaller is.

The play caller has been fine on this team. It's the talent that's the problem.

But it's easier to blame him then it is to admit we've got bigger issues.

I will never believe Bill Callahan is a better offensive mind than Jason Garrett. So this move is a step back to me if anything.

Jimmy had a lot more control with the Cowboys than Saban had with Miami. Jimmy was the unofficial GM of the Cowboys and handled all football moves. The Dolphin team Saban took over in 05 didn't go through near the overhaul the 89 Cowboys did under Jimmy. By no means was Jimmy nice when he took over the team he came down real hard on the players but they responded to him. Saban claimed at LSU he didn't want the Dolphins job but ended up taking it. Saban couldn't handle the NFL media and made many comments that made absolutely no sense click on the link. The guy was a liar.

It has nothing to do with not being nice Lombardi wasn't nice most of his players hated him but responded to his coaching style and grew to respect him. The fact is Saban's Dolphin team wasn't responding to his approach and he was looking to get out of Miami and go back to coaching college football in Dec of 06.

I think that was just as much about marino as it was jimmy.

Yes it will matter, just like it mattered in 92 when the Cowboys switched from the awful Dave Schula as OC to Norv Turner, with pretty much the same OL, minus Erik Williams. Nate, Stepnoski and Tunei, the team that anchored that SB winning team was also around when AIkman got sacked 13 times I believe against one team.

The moment we lost Norv Turner as an OC, the moment we ended up with the likes of a way way past his prime Ernie Zampese and Bruce Coslet. And that is a huge reason our offense started tanking.

 

[Redball Express]

He wasn't good at Nebraska or Oakland. He was a fish out of water in that role. He took Gruden's team to the Super Bowl, and got beat by Gruden with Dungy's team. Then Callahan went kerplunk.

Our next HC.

This is clear in my mind.

The rebuilding of the old Gruden staffs from Oakland and TB here in Dallas leads me to that conclusion.

And Gruden admittedly wants to return to coaching and has said Dallas would work.

But until Garrett is actually dismissed..Gruden is not going to happen.

But somebody is orchestrating this building of the coaching staffs and it's certainly not Garrett. Jones is doing it but to what exact purpose..? And who is guiding Jones on these decisions...?

To me, all these ex-Oakland and TB coaches would not be agreeing to come to Dallas unless there was another decision waiting in the wings.

Hmm...

Another Bill may be the future Head Coach in Dallas.

that would suck

There is literally 0% chance of Jon Gruden coming here. Sorry to burst that bubble. Garrett will entrench himself in the spot this year ending this type of speculation for a while.

The thing is, if the offense is more successful this year, all we'll hear is how much better of a playcaller Callahan is, when in reality, it will likely be wide variety of things.

That's a very bold and dangerous assumption.

You predicting a playoff win, because that's the only way Red can entrench himself as HC.


I got no problem with Garrett as HC if we win a playoff game. I don't have anything against the guy personally, I am judging him just like every other HC in the NFL is judged by........results.

So far the results are .500 seasons and coaching blunders. If this year is not any different, the dude needs to be on a bus out of Big D.

I disagree. I think garrett can go 10-4 and win the division and stick around even if he loses his first playoff game. If he makes another 8-8 season I think he is done.

 

[jaybird]

lovie smith or nick saban is our head coach in waiting.

Next up - Gruden.

10-4 would be amazing!

 

[Doomsday101]

Why we went 8-8 with a team that was dealing with key injury through out the roster and yet still was in the race up to the final week of the season?

Winning 10 I don't think is out of the question at all.

It was the 4 part that you were missing out on.

10-6. Teams go 10-6 in the NFL.
