I said earlier today that I would be against Belichick. I never viewed him as the GOAT. I always saw him as a very good coach with an all time greatest QB but now has gotten old and resistant to change. The game has past him by.
I'm also a fan of McCarthy. I think he is also a very good coach who happens to be in a situation set up to fail. Give him a sane owner, real personnel department and the greatest QB ever and he'd probably look like Belichick too, just with a thyroid problem.
However, I was wrong. I must hope we do fire McCarthy and hire Belichick. Why? Because the worst owner in sports makes me. That's why.
We have no shot status quo. Retain McCarthy or bring in another head coach with the same authority. Won't matter. No chance. Jerry will remain comfortable and that comfortability spells doom for the Cowboys.
The only chance we have is for another of those Parcells so many skins on the wall that I have to "walk on egg shells" and respect this man kind of coaching hires. The guy that will force Jerry to make concessions because every concession he makes helps to fix what actually ails this team.
So if the reports are true, and I'm talking about the reports that started many years ago, that Jerry has this tremendous regard for Little Bill and his place amongst the greats, then that's the guy I want because that's the guy who might make Jerry change. If even a little. It would still be progress.
And I say that knowing if I was fan of any of the other 31 teams I wouldn't want him. Not at this stage of his career. But I play the hand my lunatic owner has dealt me.
So bring me Bill Belichick. After hours of meetings with plenty of concessions. It's not ideal but it's our only hope for 2024.
And sorry, Coach Mike. Ideally I'd tell you to pack on 30 more lbs and try again next year but it's not to be in Dallas for you.
