One of the biggest surprises of the season for me was Jerry admitting he regretted firing Wade when he did, how crucial Wade was to Denver's Super Bowl win, and throwing at least some semi-shade at Jason.

Jerry saying he regretted firing Wade means nothing. If he kept him, it would have been worse.

For those waiting for McCarthy to be fired you can relax. He isn't going to be fired. His contract expires in about 6 days. Firing him now is a meaningless gesture.

Of course it is,

I mean you do realize that the ridiculous narratives around here that Jerry Jones seems to be isolated on an island with his retread theories, like using older coaches', veteran coaches ,

that's pretty much the whole league did ,you see the list like say The Jets w/ Vrabel is technically an older retread as well as Ryan, and hell there's even people out there that said the Raiders and some others were even thinking about Gruden..

this happens all over the NFL there's a carousel of coaches most of them are all retreads let's be clear there are very few that are going to be first time head coaches and in those cases better be careful what you hope for because some of those offensive and defensive coordinators are really really good because of the talent they have on the team that they may not get where they're going...

Duh, everyone knows this. It is semantics. Firing not bringing him back means the same thing to Cowboy fans.

Yes we remember and you are correct it may not happen a lot but Jerry's done things people say around here he doesn't he also let Mike Nolan go and eat that entire contract after one year he let jalen Smith go mid year literally ate that entire contract he eats money and plenty of places and does things times people don't expect..

So hopefully the best thing Cowboys fans can hope is there are some people at the star in Jerry's ear right now about what the best way to handle this is..... I mean we don't know which way he's going because the man doesn't usually succumb to pressure so the more people say he should do something he's probably gonna do the opposite which doesn't something I support I don't I don't like it he should have already known right now what his decision is the only thing that he's waiting for is probably what other options does he have who really wants to come here is there someone better than Mike McCarthy that wants this job and that they think with a new offensive coordinator maybe even a new defensive coordinator like a whole blow up what would that look like versus what's here he has to actually think about this but he should already known whether he wants Mike McCarthy back or not if it's a yes then he should tell us right now that he needs some more time I say take all the time you need.....

Of course. Wait until all candidates hired and then say “welp we have Mike”

first of all let me get this straight just in case you guys need a reminder in 2020 everyone was totally against this and they said that they would have taken two or three other options that other teams took in 2020 over Mike McCarthy they were very upset and guess what happened I just wanna make sure you guys understand that Mike McCarthy in that hiring sequence was the very best head coach out of the mix and by the way this last cycle Washington wait until the very last minute the higher day in Quinn they didn't right away go get him they interviewed forever they were the last team to pick their head coach and it happened to be Dan Quinn or he probably still be here team some teams take time they'll all just run out and have a solution within 24 to 48 hours..

But I wanna remind folks here there wasn't one coach hired in 2020 that was better than Mike McCarthy they all got fired within three years or less I mean there was some absolute horrible results from some of those head coaches you guys wanted to hear you remember the whole we should hire meyer blah blah blah a guy like saving petrino you do realize that even a guy like Ben Johnson he could end up going somewhere and not having the same talent to run his system and fall flat on his face there is no guarantees on who's going to be hired and who's gonna be the best hire until you see the results and Mike McCarthy was clearly the best hire in 2020 his record says it all he's the only one with a positive record the only one who went to the playoffs three straight years won two division titles this man was the best option so you may not have liked it at the time and you may not like him right now but that's how this works..

A lot of fans who wanted these other guys were wrong they even said Washington got lucky they had the better guy in Rivera yeah had that workout you mean a guy that couldn't beat the Dallas Cowboys the two teams at the bottom of the division that never beat the Dallas Cowboys it's rare that Washington even with a better team beats the Dallas Cowboys so where is all this energy we could go ahead and list every head coach that was hired in 2020 and you'll find out they all were worse than Mike McCarthy you may not like Jerry Jones choices but in this case he was absolutely correct he hired the right guy.

If I was McCarthy I would take the Jacksonville job in a minute. Why come back to Dallas where it is a constant circus and the owner is a meddling fool?

I also think McCarthy could be successful in Jacksonville. He supposedly is good developing QBs, and Lawrence needs that. Lawrence has more tools than Dak. Plus, they have high draft picks this year and could start to build a team that is competitive in a year or two.

I have no idea what Jerry is thinking. He should already know what he wants to do, and maybe he does. I cannot believe, if he had an inkling to change coaches, he would not have already put out feelers to agents and others around the NFL to see who is available or interested. The problem may be he can't find someone to allow him to do what he does. Jerry wants to run this team and he does not want a head coach that will butt heads with him on that issue. That eliminates about 95% of the top coaching pool. Jerry may want a new coach, but that guy has to be a guy that will give Jerry a lot of room.

btw, Jerry was asked if he would give up his role as GM. His answer was exactly what I have been saying about him for years. He said he bought the team to do what he is doing and he is not giving it up. The Cowboys are Jerry's toy. He plays with his toy to get enjoyment out of it. He doesn't care what anyone thinks about how he plays with his toy. It is his toy! Jerry is a billionaire who is playing fantasy football with a real team. Maybe if he stopped enjoying it he would sell the team or quit as GM, but it sounds like that is not going to happen.

Imo it doesn't make a ton of sense from McCarthy's point of view. Its a high profile job, yes. But a low paying one. I don't see the upside in it for me. He has built his profile. Now you would think he takes the most $$$. That wont be here

Yeah but that's the thing he did this as a assistant nobody has argued that we or other people that have been fired from a head coaching musician that went back to their comfortable coordinator position weren't great at what they did they just weren't good head coaches happens all the time This is why buyer beware with some of these young guns everybody wants I do realize that Ben Johnson's a big name but do you see how loaded that lion's team is how in all three phases they can depend on each other and you add in the coaching together you split those all up and separate them from their talent you don't know what they're gonna end up doing as a head coach..

This is why a lot of teams do fall back on the old guard the veterans you guys call them retreads but more than one team does this and talking about us being crazy for possibly keeping Mike McCarthy which I'm not condoning that's not something I want but how do the giants keep their head coach and their GM I mean what's going on in the NFC East isn't it what they're saying about Jerry better keep up well it's kind of odd that the giants with a regular GM and a regular owner are not firing their head coach in my opinion they need to start over and then you have the flip side of the coin where New England is crazy being bipolar they keep a guy for one year and then fire him.

There is no blueprint to do this you just gotta hope you get it right but in 2020 Jerry Jones made the best foot coaching hiring it's already improved go ahead and breakdown every hire from 2020 and look who is the most successful and he's successful in this environment working with Jerry Jones that tells me he was the right guy for the job at the time..

Who's that guy this time around I don't know but in the end Jerry made the best decision in 2020 that's all in black and white it's right there for all to see..
