Is it just me, or is it not obvious that Jerry & co are basically setting McCarthy up to fail this year?
We might be treading on to conspiracy theory levels here, but I am really starting to believe that Jerry signed no one at all outside of “cornerstones” almost SO the team would fail.
With a complete failure, it would leave out any possible argument/decision to retain McCarthy past this season.
If this is the case, I’m honestly not against it. Would I have preferred just canning the guy after the GB loss? Of course, but our ownership is cheap.
Dude how can people keep saying this why would you pay all your players that they paid like CD lamb and Prescott if they wanted to take this year if they wanted to be bad they would have just fired him last year nobody owns a business that spends $250 million a year to operate their roster and then makes big moves like that to absolutely take no this is organic they thought they could put a team together top heavy on salary and talent and then fill in the roster and so far it doesn't look good but that doesn't mean the season's over but it would be the dumbest thing in the world to sign your top players and to have a salary cap hit like they do to tank your head coach why would your owner take your head coach he could have just simply fired him it would have cost him less everybody says he doesn't wanna pay for a year that they coach isn't there so just let him ride out his lame duck year for money no he accustomed more money to pay a roster like he does and lose on purpose it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard why do people keep saying these things it doesn't even make common sense and maybe some of you need more of that...
What say it again no owner of any sports franchise will do what the Cowboys did & some of their best players to record contracts owing to lose all you had to do was fire Mike McCarthy last year and start over if he didn't want him around that's what he would have done he believed he could get it done and right now we're 2:00 and 2:00 and we have a couple of games to prove we might be headed in the right direction versus the wrong...
I don't understand why you think this is something an owner would do pay a coach 'cause he didn't wanna pay his salary just a tank a year you know how much work goes in to putting the roster together and having to play a season you don't play with your food when you're a billionaire he would have simply fired him he believes Mike McCarthy and by the way he didn't fire Dan Quinn either he wanted the same roster of coaches back for one more run and Dan Quinn at the last minute got the last job opening or he would be here right now as well there was no tank job Jerry wanted one last run with this roster and this coaching staff and that's a fact there is no conspiracy there is no organically tanking there is no throwing Mike McCarthy under a bus this is just how the ownership operates..
I mean there are other coaches that are in similar positions right with The Jets you think they did that on purpose I mean this Cleveland been losing on purpose they haven't won a division since 1986 I mean look at the Jaguars right now and Peterson's in a similar position that they take him I mean that's just nonsense I get sick of hearing nonsense in here and then you're gonna get one of my famous coffee rants why do people even allowed to post this because it's not even close to the truth there is no factual evidence or anything you can actually read into this they went into this season thinking they can win and they still do but they did it with budget free agents like they always have Mike McCarthy's won 36 games in the same environment two division titles with the same all season efforts have been to the playoffs three straight years with the same front office..
This offseason is no different than any others they were late to signing their big contracts they brought in very little free agents they were all budget free agents they redid a few contracts they picked up a few players late right before the season started they thought can help with defensive tackle and now we're having a run of injuries and this is pretty much been par for the course I don't get why you would think something different here is happening nothing's different has no problem firing coaches and eating their contracts we've done it with all our defensive coordinators in the last 10 years outside of Dan Quinn and he would've been here through the end of his contract had he not got the job in Washington...
Those that are saying they only kept him here so they didn't have to eat his contract Mike McCarthy that's really ridiculous they fired Mike no one after one year they had to pay the rest of his salary they done this before with other coaches this is nothing to do with the coaches salary and they didn't want to just throw it away so they have a moment and say you know what we're just gonna have a bad year on purpose 'cause we don't wanna pay that what do you know the salary's 250 million how much do they owe mike mccarthy 8 million? Sorry are willing to spend $250 million on a roster they know it's gonna fail versus just can Mike McCarthy it still makes no sense none of this makes sense why do people always say this no that's not why Mike McCarthy stayed they wanted to bring back the same coaching staff in a virtually the same roster and they wanted to try one more time..
