Jerry Jones' disgusted reaction hints Cowboys will fire Mike McCarthy, hire Bill Belichick

[rnr_honeybadger]

Yeah.

Some of us knew that was going to happen and was vocal about it all season. That's not gloating. That's just being aware.

Anyone with a modicum of sense to put down the homer glasses and really look dispassionately about what they were seeing would have arrived at the same conclusion. The Dallas Cowboys are not that good. Regardless of how many 40+ point games they wracked up on the Giants, what they consistently showed us was that against the better teams in the league their vaunted offense disappeared. Their stout defense turned to mush. And what did we hear from the staff and players, we just had an off day, we just had an off day. You mean you had an off day every time you play a half way decent opponent?

Falling for it every year doesn't make you a real fan, Ranch.

I don't fall for it, I have better vision than most on this board, but I wouldn't bother watching if I didn't think there was any hope. Every year is different.

 

[baltcowboy]

They're busy making excuses for a blow out loss while we're busy discussing ways this team could maybe get over the hump.

Nobody is making excuses. The reality is the real Cowboys problem will never go away and you just get numb to it. I actually see away out of this and all fans would be happy. Jerry would never do it though.

You're kinda like Jerry, ya know lol

You can't admit what the real problems are and if you do once the season starts back up you jump right back on board lol

Jerry is the real problem. Everyone knows that but he is not giving up any power or control. So we learn to live with it. If Jerry is unhappy it’s because he didn’t get that extra home game so he can make more money off of advertising. This fire MM stuff will all the media will be talking about through the Super Bowl. It will keep the Cowboys in the news.

27 seasons without getting to the championship game, let alone the Superbowl. Jerry is ultimately the problem. Jimmy was the man who brought the team to greatness. Jerry is the one who wanted to take credit.

As for hiring a new coach? No more retreads. And no more meddling in day-to-day football affairs Jerry. Pay the bills and leave the coaching to someone who knows how to win.

You said it all in a nutshell, Jerry wants to take credit. That's the core issue with this organization.
He doesn't want another Jimmy, which is why we get these "yes" men the last 25 years. Parcells was the lone exception.
Look at other owners, they hire football professionals, and let them manage, but Jerry just can't do that.
Personally, I'd like us to go in one of 2 directions.
Either get a proven guy, like Belichick or Tomlin, whio will change the culture, or get a young mind like McVay/ShannahanRyan type and rebuild.
Mu guess is Jerry will talk loudly about how unhappy he is and that changes are coming, then MM will be back, and we will do the same thing next year.

The frightening thing is that this is about as hands off that Jerry Jones has ever been as the decision maker for this team.

It is completely tone deaf to imply his day-to-day behaviors are the main issue.

The issue is the culture his ownership has created and is now even bigger than the product on the field. That culture alone is proving to be impossible to overcome.

No matter what happens, the spotlight will always be so bright, it poisons the entire reason for playing the games. And it gets worse when the team has regular season success because they start believing they are invincible and all it takes is any team, literally any, to decide to bow up and play without fear beat them. They are the worst kind of organization. They never hit rock bottom because the sun will always come out tomorrow. And they will still have organizational relevance, no matter how they fail and the more spectacular the loss, the brand monster gets bigger.

Bill Parcells could not handle it. Wade Phillips could not handle it. Jason Garrett certainly could not handle it. Mike McCarthy has shown he cannot either. And the next coach in line will not be able to handle it either.

You have been wrong far more often than you have been right. Your novice coaching experience doesn't matter jack when you are wrong when it comes to the pros as you have been on just about every Cowboys related discussion.

The so-called "haters" have a far better track record than you do. They know more about football than you do. You've demonstrated that on this forum for years now. The entertaining thing is that you don't realize it.

 

[SuspectCorner]

Mike McCarcass

 

[offlimits]

Belichick is the perfect coach.

We have a vet team and you can bet he has something to prove to people who think it was “Brady”.

Give me a motivated Belichick please. No brainer.

It was Brady. The Emperor has no clothes. If they make a change it should be Harbaugh.

 

[Ranching]

Is every year really different though?

It is if you have a positive outlook. I coached long enough to know you have to put last year in the rear view

Get a stud RB, take the pressure off Dak and instill team discipline with Belichick...

But that's only if you want to salvage what you already have.

One of the dumbest play calls came early in the game. We get the ball backed up against our goalline after the Packers go down the field on our D. And what does McCarthy call? A deep shot to CeeDee. We should have been thinking about keeping our D off the field...instead THE REACTIVE DOOFUS tries to make it all up in one play. That puts too much pressure on the QB who is NOT Rodgers...

Any coach who comes has to see Dak for what he is. Belichick will do this...he can't help himself. It's called self-scouting...something DakStans can't do...being cheerleaders and all.

My buddy next to me told me before that play while the offense was coming on the field. “watch, McCarthy is going to go deep on this play.” Bad thing is, the TE was open and a much easier throw for 10+ yards.

Ultimately, regardless of what play is called, it’s the QB that decides where to go with the ball. I get Dak deciding to go that way because of the receiver had single coverage, but, as you point out, they needed to just move the ball and get in some rhythm.

He got ya there, Ranch.

I won't say anything about your coaching because I don't know you like that.

But you have allowed your fandom to get in the way and make you wrong WAY more than you've been right.

 

[DaleMc]

These threads keep popping up and my response is always the same, Jerry is a bigger problem than the coach(s). Until Jerry butts out of the team and just plays owner like most good owners do, this teams is doomed to repeat. Belichick will not take the Dallas job without more control than Jerry will give him. Does anyone besides me think that Jerry's interference is one reason for the undiscipline play we see, coaches apparently can't hold players accountable.

I'm as pissed as all of you and I blame Dak and the defense. I've coached HS, College all star games and worked at pro camps and pro tryouts. So now you know....that ignoramus that called me a novice is probably playing with his joystick right now! Lol

OK...I'm gonna go visit my 88 year old dad like I do everyday...that puts this game into perspective.
Truce, Salud!

 

[Beastsfromthenfceast]

Who would bring hard nose discipline , preparedness ,game and clock management ? Harbaugh or Belichick

 

[TheHerd]

It can’t get back on track.

Not until a franchise quarterback is brought in.

And I mean a REAL one.

We need a lot more than a franchise QB. I'd take a QB who doesn't crap his pants in the playoffs and a team of actual tough football players.

 

[IceBowler]

The “he can’t win without Brady” is exactly why he will take this job.

Ands he knows he can’t win with Jerry.
Unless of course Jerry agrees to completely step aside for a couple of seasons.

You gonna hold your breath waiting for that to occur?
