If Jerry asked, here's what I would do

[J_Allen]

McCarthy will be fired. When they asked him after the game you could tell by his facial expressions that he's as good as gone even though he didn't say it. Who he will hire, I don't know and I don't think it will make a big difference.

 

[goshann]

What you're proposing is to go w/ the status quo. You do realize that, right? It isn't working.

I’m good replacing the coach, getting big LBs and revamping the running game with a new starting RB and a new olineman or two.

 

[charron]

I think people are underestimating his value in the open market.

He has a reasonable contract that some team that feels they are a QB away might make a move for.

I mean you aren't going to net 3 #1 picks. But you might get a little bit of value.

1. Sure but he also will have to want to go there. Unless he's in it for only the money bad teams may not be on his wish list.
2. Teams could just wait a year as he becomes a free agent.

Not saying it is impossible but highly unlikely.

Jerry showed up at a bar, plopped down next to me and got lit on JW Blue, turned to me and asked what I would do if I were in charge of the Cowboys:

- Fire McCarthy

- Trade Dak. His contract isn't bad for a team acquiring him. Eat the cap hit.

- Hire Vrabel (I am operating under the assumption Jerry ain't giving up control. Of course I'd tell him to hire Harbaugh first). This team needs a culture change in the locker room and Vrabel might be it.

- Find the best young OC/QB coach you can find to work the Lance, who will be your starter in 2024.

- Start stockpiling picks from a Dak trade and possibly some others. For the right price, even Lamb or Parsons would be expendable.

- If a QB presents itself in this draft (like say a Bo Nix is sitting there and you like him), then take one. But I wouldn't go chasing a QB in this draft.

- The next two years will likely suck unless Lance is somehow rehabbed. But that's OK. Because if you do it right, Year 3 should find you ready to progress with either a rehabbed Lance or a young QB you picked in either of the next two drafts.

Unless Jerry removes himself, this teams ceiling is the divisional round of the playoffs.
This team can't rise above the non accountability culture that Jerry has created and maintained.

Do not extend Dak. Tell him and his agent they can seek a trade, if they agree to it (because of the no trade clause).
That he could possibly be a June 1st cut. And for the leverage, they will not designate him that until the last possible moment (whenever that is).

So possible teams would be limited who he may go to.

Best thing to do is to take the cap hit now. Because if extended to save cap space now, only means 5 years of the same results, and will be in the exact same cap hit situation 5 years from now.

It is so easy and simple for us to see it. So why can't these supposed football experts see it.

Yep, there are ways of making it uncomfortable for him, in his contract year.

He'll get the message when we say, we'll trade away Cooks, Gallup and Ferguson and will look in-house for WR, LT and C replacements in the draft .....concentrating on suring up the defense.

Help me to understand the Harbough love....i don't get it.

Really want to understand because I do think it is a possiblity.

He's basically won everywhere he's been.

He took over the 49ers in 2011 after they went 6-10 in 2010, 8-8 in 2009 and 7-9 in 2008.

In the four seasons he was the San Fran coach he went 44-19-1 including three straight NFCCG appearances and a SB appearance.

He won at Stanford. He won at Michigan. He won at San Diego State.

 

[The Fonz]

Cut Dak at any cost

If you include a big, starting quality 3 tech and a ballhawking 4.3 running FS, I could agree w/ you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would have to be an extend and trade sort of deal. I agree.

Soo...........

- 2 new LBs
- New OL or two
- New TB
- New big time 3T
- New big time FS

And then, we can win.

LOL.

Harbaugh never won the real big game until this season. He always fell short.
Maybe he if finally over the hump now.
I doubt he is leaving Michigan; giving them their first NC in a generation is going to make them basically give him whatever he wants

 

[1942willys]

Dak's value took a hit yesterday. and his record in playoff games is something all the other teams will think on

 

[RFABR]

Everytime I think about a coaching staff overhaul, I remember that triple 8-8 Garrett got 9,5 years.

 

[Wapp5200]

No trade clause.

Then bench him

Nah, all we need is Schoonmaker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
