McCarthy expected to become free agent and talk with Bears and Saints

[RustyBourneHorse]

Total dick move, I expected better from Jerry.

Why? This is what Jerry does.

With Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy eligible to talk to other teams after midnight Tuesday, there still haven’t been any negotiations on a new deal with Dallas, per sources. It’s now looking like McCarthy will indeed become a coaching free agent, with Chicago and New Orleans both expected to be interested in speaking with him.

ok so say he leaves and in 3 years time in a championship game. will the Jones finally admit they suck as GM and step aside.

What if Chauncey Golston leaves with McCarthy?

There are repercussions here.

Thank god for the franchise tag

 

[Risen Star]

Well we should hear about interviews soon then. Have to satisfy the rooney rule.

“still haven’t been any negotiations on a new deal with Dallas, per sources”

So they never even started negotiating is how I’m reading that? That would make denying the Bears interview far worse. And just further prove Jerry is all about theatrics and media headlines. Just make a decision, no need to have this “looming deadline.” They’ve had months to decide if they wanted McCarthy back or not.

Also terrifies me that Jerry probably already knows who the next coach is going to be if they aren’t in a rush to get interviews started

Well, Mike's two assistants are in the division round. One has taken a franchise that was in the dumps to their first playoff win since 2005. I'd say that should show it, but the NFC North, who we play next year, will be even harder to compete against if Mike goes there.

I hope Fat Mike told Jerry and Cap Boy what they could do with their honest, incentive based contract offer.

I can’t believer Jerry has made it so bad that I’m actually rooting for McCarthy to tell him to shove it

Paging Aaron Glenn.

Happy for McCarthy. He can move on to no longer dealing with the Jones clan.

Jerry sabotaged the roster for MM in his lame duck season.

I hope MM kicked the old geezer in the family jewels on the way out the door, LOL

 

[jazzcat22]

Hope this is true. Time to move on. Give us something to look forward to this off season, besides the non moves the team makes.

 

[Risen Star]

Does anybody reading this think Jerry and his son had a plan in place in case McCarthy said no?

They are flabbergasted right now.

Hey, Dad! Did you know this chair swivels? Sweet.

Belichick's contract at North Carolina includes a $10 million buyout if he leaves prior to June 1, 2025, though it's not entirely clear whether it would apply if he returns to the NFL in the coming weeks. Either way, it's a fraction of Belichick's salary by the end of his Patriots tenure, making it relatively easy to get out of, whether an NFL team or Belichick himself pays the buyout.
With few successful NFL head coaches currently available, at least one other team also has continued to check in on Belichick's status.

 

[Carson]

You get the feeling we will hear about exactly what is going on later. Something happened.

Yeah, he told Cap boy to shove his incentive based deal when he can double that on the market

 

[Risen Star]

 

[darthseinfeld]

This would be disastrous. You don't blow it up when you're this close. It would be a front office goaltending foul when you're around the rim like this.

I mean we arent really close, but honestly are they going to do any better?

 

[panchucko]

sooooo what was the purpose of denying his interview with the bears?

Jerry thought a $1m per year and a book of the month club membership would have enticed Mike to stay

 

[kumizi]

If you told me six months ago he'd be gone, I would be happy.

After Jerrys recent comments about not paying coaches, I am pretty sure whoever they hire will be a downgrade.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah, he told Cap boy to shove his incentive based deal when he can double that on the market

I think it might have been changes on the offense. Taking playcalling away from him or getting rid of Schottenheimer.

Jerry was just hoping that McCarthy wouldn't get any headcoaching interviews so he could resign McCarthy back on the cheap!!....

It's going to be Moore or Zimmer.
