Feels like Pete Carroll.
JMO, but feels Carroll to Chicago seems more likely. Gruden here feels more likely. Gruen went into Tampa and took an existing underperforming roster to a SB and won. I could see Jerry thinking the same thing here. And I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad idea for the short term, but mist definitely not a long term plan.

Its probably more than he's worth but it's not crazy compared to other top contracts. I think he'll get it.
Yeah they said he didn’t ask for it but I don’t see why he wouldn’t. He earned his pay….no salary cap for coaches so these owners need to pay up

Not sure why they even bothered to talk if they were just going to let him walk over a term limit.
I wasn't in the room but IMHO, they could have easily worked that out. Like agreeing on 3 years with an option for 2 more if his record was = to or > X# of wins/playoff wins etc..

So are we to assume, McCarthy is the one who pulled the riptide? Question, how much longer would this have lasted if McCarthy didn't grow some? Could this have gone on for another two weeks?

The new test begins for some Cowboys fans. It is the same test that has happened at every coaching change. The test being, "Who do I think Jerry will hire?" As always, there will be those who will not take a breath for once and consider what type of head coach Jones will actually target.

McCarthy is like that one executive chef where the Owner of the restaurant only gives him dollar store meat, and salt and pepper seasoning and somehow he puts out meals that are a 6.5/10

If you give him what he needs he can easily put out 9 and 10 meals but hey

I think JJ knew MM wouldn't accept the details of a re-up (less than 4 yrs, and probably not market value or incentive based) and now gets what he wants in a media speculation circus for who will be the next coach smack dab in the middle of the playoffs
