Which is a good thing. His knees can only sustain so much.

Notice how this tub of NOTHING defends his players and criticizes the HOF player. Of course, admitting there's a problem indicts him.

Funny, I bet the Reactive Doofus DID respond to Troy's comments and I bet the tape will show something different this week.

I hate lazy, con-men. If you're going to be a criminal...be good or be good at it. Put the work in. This is lazy BS.

That ain't a false statement.
How many OCs has this QB burned through now?
Hmmm. If you count the HCs that doubled as OC, is it four? Not positive.

I do know that the current head coach has been here five years and is on his third DC. Something isn’t right there.

Not really knocking Mike (although Nolan was his buddy, and an issue), but there just doesn’t seem to be any certain organizational philosophy or style of play. They bring in a coordinator, try to collect players that fit the scheme, then bail on it and start again before long.

Even when Garrett was here for 400 years, they kept changing OC/DC as if that was the problem.

Edit…..allow me to add that every single one of the schemes (with the exception of Quinn initially, which still had its flaws) seems to be dated from day one.

Since you've coached, I'm curious as to your take on it. Since McCarthy wasn't renewed and is considered a "lameduck" at this point, is it more him being lazy with the job, or is it the players not executing his schemes properly because they know he's going to be gone either way?
Star players won't play hard for a lameduck staff. They'll protect themselves since they have nothing to prove. MM is a good coach, not a good motivator.

How many years have other team's players been saying the Cowboys offensive and defensive schemes are vanilla? :rolleyes:

If he gets replaced during the season, then he’s fired. If he coaches out the season and isn’t brought back then his contract wasn’t renewed.
My response was in reference to the quote of "How many coaches get fired twice and get another chance..." meaning he hasn't been fired and won't be this year.

Troy, and almost every other NFL film analyst agree that the Cowboys WR routes are trash. The effort and sharpness of individual players is one thing, but the sheer amount of 5-10 yard stops is just unacceptable.

We have nearly the most static and unimaginative offensive scheme in the NFL. It is not doing us any favors.
I liked what we were doing on offense last year, though, so I wonder what has changed. Have defenses just caught on to what McCarthy wants to do or is it primarily a personnel problem?

I don't believe anyone was saying that last year. But it's back this year while we're breaking in two new linemen, a new third receiver now second receiver and playing substandard RBs. I think personnel is limiting what we can do, or at least what McCarthy is capable of doing with it.

He may end up getting fired during the season. He has to finish the season to complete his contract. Jerry said he doesn’t plan on making a coaching change during the season, but that could change if we suffer another embarrassing blowout loss like we did against Detroit.

If 500 coaches could coach the Cowboys, doesn't it follow that 500 players could play for the Cowboys? Booger logic.
