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.
You’re welcome for converting you in my response to you in the other thread.

I like Mike as well, but only way to change is to make these Bozo’s walk on eggshells in the building

I get that but there are guys you can move on from and guys you can’t just because you don’t have the cap space to cut just anyone. Too rebuild I think you’d have to trade one of your young star player like lamb, micah or one of Diggs/Bland. Dak is complicated because cutting him leaves 60 mil in dead money. It generally means some hard times rebuilding but it also requires some draft capital is why I think you’d have to trade one of these guys. I’m not opposed to rebuilding but it’s not as simple as just start cutting guys
I'm not above trading either of them either if it means we can get a true blue chip QB. Look at Stroud. There's nothing special about the offensive talent around him but he just destroyed the best defense in the league. There is better out there. We have to move on.

I have to agree. I'd even take Carrol from Seattle. Both MIGHT be able to get something out of Duck on a big stage. Because let's face it, Duck is going nowhere. Anyone else is just another walkabout coach.

I was literally going to ask you on one of your other posts how there is any prayer with the status quo bc the jones family isn’t turning this team over. So how can one be against what is seemingly the only possible solution to this mess. That is Belichick. Washed up or not. He’s the only prayer. I agree w you. And I was also firmly behind MM before today.

If Belichek somehow ends up here, he had better bring arrogant OC Josh Daniels with ,as Belly has had
horrible OC's since Daniels departed to Raiders.

Do we want Matt Patricia, or Bill O' Brien here as OCs ?

- Also the Jones would have to make sure Belly is hands off McClay - the personnel decisions go thru McClay.
if Belichek demands personnel say so, then McClay is gone. ..and we've seen Belly with horrible draft moves.

McCarthy is not a good coach. He doesn't even know the basics. His teams are highly penalized and he can't get them ready to playoff games. That's not a good coach.

Pete Carroll could possibly be another walk on egg shells hire. Even though he doesn't really have a better resume than the guy they have now. It all depends on Jerry.

I cant believe I am saying this but I dont want BB to have control over personnel. He had it in NE and they probably have one of the worst rosters in the league. Everything else sure.

Im torn on this.

With Beli, we would see improved run defense and he will prioritize good DTs

On the other hand, i absolutely hate his offensive assistants and think we will regress even more on that side of the ball.

And we all know he has been bad when hes had bad qbs

If any of us had a chance to go to a team between the Chargers with Herbert or cowboys with Prescott how many would choose the cowboys? Lol

It's almost like setting up a handicap against yourself especially with the contract Dak will command
