McCarthy is on other teams coaching lists

Yes but Jerry will also have an opportunity to make an offer to McCarthy before he even interviews with another team. Mike may have to turn down the Cowboys job just in hopes that he can land another gig, it certainly wont be guaranteed. The timeline of everything certainly isnt on McCarthys side.
As long as there is interest though, he can string Jerry along. Jerry loves talking about pressure making deals but he always seems to be the one that cracks under the pressure.

An unsatisfying job sucks. If MM wants another SB ring he'll need to go elsewhere.
Yeah, but he's 62 and where is he gonna go and make that much of a difference? He had Aaron Rodgers for the entirety of his prime and only managed 1 Super Bowl. I think he's happy with a team where the expectations are not Super Bowl. Its low stress.

This is exactly why mm hired don yee- to at least get him or threaten to get him interviewed and had on other teams list. Makes him desirable and always allows him to ask for a raise from Dallas

I would doubt it because if McCarthy doesnt want the job then Jerry needs to get the ball rolling on a coaching search for the Cowboys before the top candidates are gone. If Jerry has any sense to him at all he would require McCarthy to give him an answer in a very short time frame after the season.

As long as Jerry Jones is large and in charge, it won't matter who the coach is. Jones will never hire a coach who will outshine him, have a backbone or truly command the locker room and roster in the manner that it needs to be. So, if McCarthy comes back, it's irrelevant to where the real problem is.

MM needs to go, while he can still salvage his name. He's a good coach, but doesn't have the sack or psychological prowess to manipulate Jerry.
Never thought I'd say this, but Pete Carroll is cool and calm enough to call the shots under the radar and let Jerry have the credit. He can also put together a good staff.

I didn’t want a 70 year old coach, but I agree with you, Coach. Pete might be the best option out there if Mike moves on.

ok, but there is no evidence that anyone wants to come here. he's more likely to get the leftovers so time is on Mike's side.

Listen Mike is a good coach his teams are always competitive and he’s done great work with limited QB’s throughout his career, he’s won a superbowl and before coming to Dallas had a winning record in the playoffs. He’s respected in the league so this isn’t surprising. Our fanbase is overly emotional.
People act like we’re gonna get some young hotshot SB winning HC to come in here and make wholesale changes. The reality is there isn’t one, and JJ and SJ will not give up control.
There are not many coaches with Mikes resume and pedigree out there.

Bye, Fat Mike. You're just another in a long line of walkabout coaches who accomplished nothing of worth here. Unless you measure success like Jerry does.

Well, I'm sure we have other puppets, I mean coaches out there to choose from.

Interesting. Landry, Jimmy, Bill and Mike were SB winning “walk around” coaches who coached the boys.

Who is your choice for HC out there?

Good. Jerry Jones must outbid those teams for Mike McCarthy's continued service IF he wants McCarthy back at all costs (pun intended). Just another way of eventually knowing if his past words were either atypical or as shallow as always.
