Marinelli to take over as DC

Well still doesn't fix JGs inability to manage a game. I'm glad Rod is the DC and I'm glad Kiffin is able to help teach the players the scheme so there is continuity on D. I think Rod will call a better game then Kiffin. On offense well it's just a wait and see I don't like JGs scheme and I don't think it's going to change much even with the changes

He is a pretty good DL coach.

His overall coaching record is less than exemplary... he never coached any position until he got to Detroit where he managed a .208 record which is one of the worst in NFL history. He then went to Chicago and helped Lovie Smith coach the defense, although that defense had been quite good under Lovie for a number of years including basically getting them to a superbowl.

He isn't a bum by any stretch, but it's not like he has a huge track record of success either.

Not exactly true. He was the DL coach in Tampa Bay for years and he was always denied permission to leave. Ironic isn't it? He was only able to leave TB because Detroit was a promotion.

And I don't know why some of you are complaining about bringing in someone to call plays and coordinate he passing game. Many of you complained about the play calling. They bring a play caller in and you complain?? Getouttahere!

I have no problem with the moves, however, neither of these moves really seem to move the dial far one direction or another which makes you wonder why do it at all?

Marinelli is going to run basically the same Tampa 2 he has been involved with in Tampa and Chicago. Kiffin will be there to help him.

Linehan will put Romo in the shotgun 95% of the time like Stafford and possibly be even more inclined to pass it. Feels a lot like Callhan.

IMHO, would have been nice for the Cowboys to bring in coordinators that would have affected real change, a commitment to some sort of consistent offensive or defensive philosophy.

Again, I think both of these moves are net positive -- it's just that the difference feels so minimal.

I didn't think they would bring in Linehan or whomever. I thought the staff would stay pretty much the same except those who left for better positions. I'm fine with Linehan calling plays game day. I have no idea if Kiffin and Marinelli can make the defense work. I'm actually looking forward to what those guys are going to do. I wish they had better talent to work with and I'm concerned we just won't be good enough or deep enough on that side of the ball. You can't coach up street players but so much.

Change without changing?

I'm convinced more than ever that Red has naked pics of Jerry at a strip club. Next year after 5-11 he will be GM/Head Coach while coordinators burn.

He got them from David Beuhler who also gave copies to Matt Johnson.

I agree that not much is changed. You added Linehan to call plays and lead the passing attack. It is minimal. The problem is going to be fielding a defense that can compete. If they can enough players then you will likely be surprised at what it will look like. I have no idea unless it does look like Seattle but it won't be the Tampa 2 of yesteryear.

It's not about making the team better, don't you get it? Bill Callahan and Monte Kiffin failed them. They deserve to be punished and to lose their jobs for it. That's why fans always want coaches fired, even though it's obvious that there's nothing wrong with the individual coaches. They've had success in the past, and if they go someplace else they'll likely have success there. It's not about improvement. It's about vengeance.
 
I have a question. What makes many of you think this is mostly a coaching problem? You harp on Jerry then on the coaches. Then you move on to the players and even the fans. Some of you don't even act like Cowboys' fans. If you called yourself a Skins' fan I'd have no problems believing you.

But back to the coaches. You can't say the GM is the problem and we're never going anywhere with the talent on the club then try to throw the coaches overboard because the team sucks in your opinion. Join a side or find a better way to be a fan. You're getting on my nerve.
 
Personally, i like this move. I have been thinking all along that Marinelli will be the next Head Coach. The move "up" by Kiffen is just to appease him And make Jerry look like he has a heart.
