McCarthy: We dont need any help

[Praxit]

Lol.. this guy. How about that play calling? Lions were pulling all sorts tricks from the old book. Again, go the line, hut 1..2 .3.. no motion, screens, dumps, run outs, bootlegs..etc Hand off to Zeke or Rico for 2 or 3. Imagine we have 2 more months of this dwindling mentality.

Could y’all imagine how miserable it’d be being a head coach under Jerry?

Mike knows that without massive help, this team is dead. But to appease Jerry and not rock the boat, Mike tows the company line and says this team is just fine.

I suspect that some Cowboy fans still have not fully grasped the essence of what makes Mike McCarthy aka Big Mac tick.

Big Mac is not a complicated man, he is not a bad man, and he is not a bad NFL coach ... providing his team has the superior QB and superior overall roster talent.

What Big Mac is to his core is the loyalest lapdog a boss/owner could ever want ... as long as Big Mac is getting paid. He is also deeply loyal to those who have assisted him along the way in his NFL journey.

Take for instance Brian Schottenheimer -- is Schotty really worthy of a NFL offensive coordinator position in 2024 after failing so many times before in that role around the league?

Hell no, but Brian's daddy Marty gave Big Mac his first big NFL break when he coached the Chiefs so Big Mac is gonna find a spot for Brian just like when Big Mac named the undeserving Mike Nolan Defensive Coordinator in his first year in Dallas (before Jerry had to step in and stanch the bleeding by hiring Dan Quinn). Remember, Nolan hired Big Mac as his OC when Nolan was the head coach in SF.

Big Mac's players also generally like him or at least do not really dislike him because Big Mac never pushes them very hard, just like he never pushes himself or his staff very hard.

The reality is that Big Mac tows the company line not because he is forced to but rather because he is far more comfortable doing what his paymasters ask of him rather than challenging them -- even if it means his teams have no chance of wining a Super Bowl. It is who Big Mac is.

And do not expect a negative word from Big Mac about the Cowboys' organization or its owner once the inevitable occurs either after the 17th game of this season or perhaps even before then. Why would Big Mac speak negatively about those who paid him all that $$ to win a single playoff game?

I fully expect Big Mac to depart Dallas without any controversy, without any appearances in NFC Championship games, and without making any significant impact on the organization. But he will leave with $25M more in his pocket than when he arrived.

And that will be just fine with Big Mac.

Dak says otherwise coach

"We don't need no stinking badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges."

MM contradicting GM Jethro is not going to do him any good.

You have to remember, Al Davis, I mean GM Jethro thought we needed a $5M emergency QB for some reason.

 

[Ironicalicon]

You'll come out the other end, for sure.

Truth is "help ain't coming"

I'd have more respect for him if he just told the truth. So what if Jerry fired him. He's not coming back next year anyway.

MM knows Jerry is no help. He would be happy if he just stayed out of the way.

 

[Lodeus]

I hope once MM is fired he tells everyone what a useless piece of crap Jerry is.

He loves the SOFT BOYS!!

In the 70s and 90s are team success was built on running and shut down defense.

In '14 we went back to running and it paid off. We just didn't have the element on the defensive front to push us over.

In '16 we once again followed the ground game and once again the defensive front failed us.

Moving forward we need to build the run game and DT spots.

 

[Mr_437]

I agree with Big Mike, no trades, no hail Mary's just let it play out like Jerry did during FA.

You will never be able to convince half our fans if we don't win a SB, that it is anyone else's fault other than the QB's.

If we scored 9 out of 10 TD's and lost 70 to 63, they would blame the QB for not being 10 for 10.

Mike McCarthy is quiet quitting.

 

[cowboybish]

McCarthy doesn't care any longer. He's a lame duck coach and knows he won't be back next season. There are zero quick fixes for this season. This roster is extremely flawed that has transpired from years of roster mis-management. And not getting a real coaching staff in place to maximize the roster we have in place.

Picking Taco over TJ Watt. Drafting Mazi and Schoon back to back in 2023 draft. LVE and C.Williams back to back in 2018 draft. Trading away a draft pick for a QB who is terrible (Lance). Drafting Guyton who only played guard in college and trying to convert him to tackle in the NFL has been a disaster. Trading away Cooper for a later round draft pick when all other WRs were getting a minimum 1st rd pick. Bringing Zeke back. Ignoring the RB position in the offseason. Never taking the DT position seriously. Then when we sort of have an out to tear this down and start fresh like Houston did, we double down and go all in on a roster that has never given us any real success by extending Dak and Lamb to huge extensions. And I'm sure Parsons is coming soon. This is the Romo/Dez/Witten/Ware era all over again.

RDDJJ. He’s Rich, he Drinks… he says and does dumb things!

Even Hitler was calling for nonexistent reinforcements in April of ‘45.

[cowboyfan4life2]

The company line. Poor sob

 

[IceStar-D7]

He and Jerry would make great used car salesmen. It's suckers every day buying lemons. Hopefully most Cowboy fans won't buy their lemonade sale pitches....
