After having some time to think about it, I don't believe Jerry will fire McCarthy for two reasons and these are Jerry reasons not necessarily sensible ones.

1) He'll look to the improvement on offense in just the first year with Mike in charge. He'll expect growth in year 2. He won't want to give up on that. He'd see it as a disservice to his QB. Who he's about to pay again.

2) McCarthy will be coaching out his final year of his contract in 2024. Jerry's mentioned in the past liking this scenario as it's a great motivator for a coach.

This is how Jerry thinks. It will take some effort from his advisors to get him to change direction right now. He won't want to do it and I don't think some conversation he had with Bill Belichick in 1996 plays any part in this.

Another go for McCarthy in a make or break year. That's my prediction.

I wouldn’t be shocked at all if Jerry came to this conclusion, mainly because it’s the wrong decision. There is no way this coaching staff should be brought back. And the next HC should also have the authority to decide what to do w the qb. The latter is a big reason why you might be right. It’s the easy way out for Jerry. Loser.

Meh, I think he’s gone. I also think there will be internal conversations before any extension is handed out to the QB. I wasn’t on the they traded for Lance as a safety plan, but I have to say there might be some truth here. He has to look at the pending FA and the possible turnover in the roster and think this might be the time to make a move.

I agree with you on most of your posts but really hope your wrong here. That being said I think you may be, unfortunately, on the money

you may be right. but you need to move to a 3-4. put hankins at NT and 2 3Ts on the ends, move DLAW to OLB with Parsons and get a Thumper for ILB and someone that can move side line to sideline this 3-1-7 formation has to go we are getting gashed on the running game which sets up playaction and other passing.

I don't think it matters. This team has gone through coach after coach and can't get it right. I wonder what might be the real problem?
..I'm watching the Love Boat. And I think back to the game.
I'm just dumbfounded

3 12 win seasons in a row is impressive but having 1 playoff win over that span is not. I could see it going either way, but with Bill now available I do think that creates an interesting croasroad decision for him.

McCarthy was bought in to win playoff games...Regular season wins arent his barometer

getting over the hump is

at this point you know what he is...12-5, 2 first round exit, 1 playoff win

you run this back with mccarthy you arent serious about winning

You may be right but I see us nosediving. I think teams are slowly catching on to all Mike does. Top teams expose us!

Dallas can’t go into a season with absolutely nobody caring about the regular season.

They need to get out in front of this.

Makes 0 sense to keep McCarthy. He had his time and his team was not prepared to play football on the biggest stage.
