Holy ****. This is moving at light speed.

the Kellen moore thing sucks but I like the fassel hire.

the more nervous jittery uptight guys afraid to lose we can get the better. Fassel is that guy to a T. Mike Nolan is that guy, McCarthy is a Pittsburgh blue collar big mouth. this is all good news.

more loud uptight guys.

Excellent hire best one so far.

 

[Risen Star]

I am so stoked right now.

Don't like McCarthy, very meh on Nolan, but I am really loving the rest of these hires.

So who are the “rest of these hires” other than Fassel?

 

[ShortRound]

This is just a breath of fresh air. Letting the head coach choose his staff. Love it.

Agree, more than the hires themselves, this is the part has me more excited.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

I am so stoked right now.

Ok you are really scaring me now

 

[ShortRound]

Great hire.

Had this been done a year ago, the Cowboys would have been 10-6 or better this year.

Imagine five years ago

Jerry must really respect McCarthy if he's actually letting him hire who he wants.

Jesus his Wikipedia page has already updated

Any link to this? I need proof

I’m more stoked than @Risen Star right now.

 

[Risen Star]

It makes me a little nervous that he has a nickname though.

There has to be a rule against having too many great coaches...

Why does this suck? He improved the offense tremendously and now as a very good tutor to get even better.

 

[stiletto]

Not impressed with this hiring AT ALL... lower tier ranking. Might be a slight improvement though. Can't get much worse from last season. LOL

 

[Latingrinda]

Very solid!

he was part of the problem. I was hoping they would bring in all proven guys. Having moore he is going to create a situation where if things start slow or go bad the story will be about moore.

when wade was hired he brought along a young coach he liked from San Diego, Brian Stewart. By the end of 2008 anything that went wrong with the defense got attributed to him and he was a constant story and focal point and had to be fired after the 08 season.

I think the same distracting thing is going to happen with moore, especially if he calls plays.

also one of the reasons Norv Turner didn't want the job here in 07 after interviewing was because jerry told him he had to take Garrett as his OC and garrett would call plays. Seems like a similar predicament.

Tomsula and retaining Kellen Moore.

We got one of the best ST coaches in the league, retained a 31 yo OC fresh off engineering the league's #1 offense, and hired a DL coach who's built 2 good lines at 2 different stops. Tough to ask for better on any of those.

I still think Nolan is a very average DC and McCarthy is Jason Garrett with better PR.
