Jerry has to be negotiating with MM right now right?

[PAPPYDOG]

This situation different from many in that MM isn’t under contract. So Jerry can’t simply announce that he’s bringing him back. But, if he didn’t want him back, I’m pretty sure he would have announced that already.

Since it’s a mutual decision anything can still happen, but I have to think that they are in negotiations to bring MM back.

Remind me to lose some sleep over the above.........................

My guess is Jerry and Junior are making phone calls to other HC candidates to see what they would want in salary and control. If none of those candidates check all their boxes, then they'll give MM a new contract at the last minute—probably sometime on 13 Jan late in the PM. It's just how they operate.

i don't believe they have a plan like that.
a real gm would.
ours?

Jerry Jones had every opportunity to re-negotiate Mike McCarthy's contract between the Green Bay playoff debacle and the start of this season.

Didn't do it.

Could have done it between the start of the season and Dak Prescott's injury.

Didn't do it.

Could have done it during the stretch of wins with Cooper Rush under center.

Didn't do it.

So.

Why should he re-negotiate after the team finished 7-10 and 11th in the NFC, four spots outside the playoffs, behind the team that kicked Dallas' <expletive> at home LAST January to begin with?

news

this franchise isnt about football

30 years of telling fans that and after 30 years

Cowboy fans: its still about football.

He wants the sports shows talking about it.

He's probably at some strip club waiting for his alarm to go off cuz "Deadlines make deals"

 

[vlad]

Yeah he said he'd allow it. Then immediately said he wants people that want to be here. As if taking the interview is some sign of disloyalty.

Know your place Risen.... under the boot. lol

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

Seriously...do any of us here really believe Jerry is already hard at work for next season? Seriously.

 

[Johannes44]

I'm in the camp of hoping that McCarthy tells the Joneses' to go pound sand and move on. There are better opportunities out there without having to deal with the insanity of Jerry and his idiot spawn.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

There has been no report whether they have granted or denied the request yet.

Correct, they have not given permission.

 

[Risen Star]

Correct, they have not given permission.

Not the same thing.

 

[Doomsday77]

That's a negative ghost rider...McCarthy is free to talk to anyone he wishes after the 14th. If JJ wanted to start negotiations now he wouldn't have given his blessing for MM to go talk.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Not the same thing.

If you don't give permission, it is an implicit denial.

 

[charron]

If you are Mike McCarthy wouldn't you want to hit free agency and see if maybe the bears would pay you more than 6 a year? I know I would at this point or atleast use it as some leverage to getting paid in the 12-15 range if jerry wants him o sign before the 14th.

 

[nate dizzle]

If Mike interviews with da Bears, what are the odds Jones decides to move on to another HC?

100%. He has already put it out there that he wants someone that wants to be there. He wants Mike to kiss the ring.

 

[JPM]

The yacht won't ride itself.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Naw, we got another week to let MM twist in the wind. Whats the hurry?

 

[Risen Star]

If you don't give permission, it is an implicit denial.

LOL

They haven't responded yet.

Jerry was asked his opinion if another team wanted to interview MM........his response was go for it. He doesn't was anyone here who doesn't wanna be here. That tell's me IF MM accepts an interview.......Jerry is moving on. And I don't him telling MM bring back your best offer.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Keep in mind......technically, MM can contact any team and all Jerry can do is fire him if his contract hasn't expired. The point is I'm 100% confident his agent is already talking to other teams.

 

[Rayman70]

In the end, I think Mike walks away as will the other coaches.
