McCarthy Watch 2025

[goshann]

Unfortunately, he is coming back and will be fired mid season next year. Mark it down.

Jerry doesn’t fire coaches mid season
That’s not happening

 

[john van brocklin]

Its Headsman Day around the NFL, and our own HC is very questionable to return

Thought we should have a thread for all things relating to McCarthy's fate

Jerry will drag this out for the free PR and media FaceTime.
Don't expect any decisions anytime soon.
This franchise is a circus cash cow not an actual football team.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Some of us actually thought that Jerry would have let Dakota play out this year without a new contract AND get a new HC that could decide if he wanted to keep Rayne or move on from him.....I won't be fooled again

You shouldn't have been fooled then. It was pretty obvious they were going to extend Prescott. And besides a new HC wouldn't be able to decide if they want to keep Prescott. Thats all on Prescott at that point. Any new HC would have been at Daks mercy with the fallback being a very weak QB class

 

[bluemagic4ever]

What a mess. It's actually disappointing to learn that Stephen was telling the truth: they hadn't talked about it yet. Completely insane that they wouldn't know, at this point, what to do with their head coach.

This is going to be a crap show this offseason smh.

 

[youngjerryjones]

He signed Dak, MM will have a new negotiated 2 year deal with a 3rd year GM option to beg for his job back, 5 more days until this happens.

 

[dupree89]

And New England job open which could be a good job with a franchise QB. Tough shoes to fill and I don't mean Mayo...

i gotta believe Vrabel gets that job. I think anyway

 

[dupree89]

Yesterdays 4th and 1 purposeful delay of game to punt when you have nothing to lose showed me what MM is about. See ya!

thank you. Nobody seems to care about what happened there, but it was so sloppy. MM is not a good in-game coach.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I think I would go 70/30 McCarthy returns

 

[chicago JK]

It really doesn't matter. A coach isn't going to fix the stink.

McCarthy is a good, solid coach. If he is released, do you think Jones will be ahead of the curve and hire the next great coach? Of Course not. This team is never the first on something. It will be another retread that they are comfortable with.

 

[XXLMike]

McCarthy will be retained for the same reason Prescott was retained - fear of success with another franchise.

 

[dariet22]

If they weren't prepared to extended McCarthy last year, then what has changed in the last year that suddenly makes him a keeper today?

This org is a clown show. If they like McCarthy then he should have been extended last year.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Mike is technically not under contract. I would take interviews with other teams and use it as leverage against Jerry.

If Jerry doesn’t want him back, that’s fine. If he does, it’ll only up the price

 

[CoachD]

well there is a vacancy in Jacksonville now

I think that's where McCarthy will end up.

 

[erod]

And New England job open which could be a good job with a franchise QB. Tough shoes to fill and I don't mean Mayo...

Vrabel is almost certainly getting that job.

 

[erod]

I think that's where McCarthy will end up.

Chicago is the most likely. There's mutual interest.

He technically can’t do that until the 14th. After the 9th we have a window of negotiation through the 14th where he would have to have permission from Jerry to interview.

 

[erod]

Not much drama with the Cowboys. Jerry has all but come out and said McCarthy will be back.

SMH

That's up to McCarthy. Why would he stay in this dysfunctional hell hole if he has other options?

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

We will not hear a thing from Jerral until the 14th, whether it is extending MM or releasing MM.

I think MM leaves unless he gets paid and we know how unlikely that is.

 

[DStar22]

McCarthy is about the best we are going to get, with Jerry's rules about no power coaches to get in his spotlight.

Ask Wade about that. Please research before posting.
