i think you nailed it. MM stays put for Dak's sake. Quinn is gone. If he doesn't get a head coaching gig, then he needs to be fired. I was so high on this guy. But then you see how his defense played... cardinals, bills, packers games are examples . Totally unprepared and flat.
MM for Dak's sake??? MM came out and tried to do something that the Cowboys have had little, consistent success with all season long...
they tried to pound the rock. And the person in discussions regarding being an MVP who led the league in TDs, he tried to "contain him" in a home playoff game. He was overly committed to the run, running on 2nd and long many times. ?????
So instead of playing to win, that whole first quarter, both sides of the ball played "not to lose". Bad schemes, bad game planning.
That's on MM, as the HC and OC. He needs to go.
Quinn too.
Dak is the QB, no leverage to get rid of him. Unless Trey is the answer, but JJ's too old to take that risk right now. He's riding with Dak, and he's going to try to find him an OC to support him. Hec, he may find a defensive-minded HC, which may be worth it, matched with a young OC to maximize Dak's skillset.
