Twitter: Michael Lombardi - Cowboys have their guy?

[Diehardblues]

Hey guys, what would you all want to trade Minnesota to see if we can bring Mike Zimmer back? Is a first rounder enough, do you think?

Zimmer wouldn’t be interested. He’s not desperate for a job.

Sean Payton: 130-77 record, .628 winning percentage, 6 division titles, 8-6 playoff record, 3 NFC title games, 1 Super Bowl ring

Mike McCarthy: 125-77-2 record, .618 winning percentage, 6 division titles, 10-8 playoff record, 4 NFC title games, 1 Super Bowl ring

Oh, I know.

Mccarthy isn't my first choice either, but at least he would command respect. This is a SB winning coach people. This is an upgrade over garret whether you like it or not.

 

[JoeKing]

Rodgers said McCarthy has the lowest football IQ of anyone he knows, lovely.

Rodgers is just a jerk.

 

[Diehardblues]

Oh, I know.

But I’d throw in Cooper. Is that like a 1st round pick. Lol

 

[rockj7]

hope its McCarthy and not Lewis.

Starting to think they only interviewed Lewis to scare us into liking McCarthy

I love McCarthy. Super Bowl baby. Lol

Calm down, it's NOT Marvin Lewis. Here's my thinking and why;

Gary Kubiak as HC
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kubiak

Marvin Lewis as DC

No former HC coach out there can match Kubiak's experience and track record. The problem he recently shot down the idea of any interest as a head coach but all 3 of his boys in coaching. The oldest ( Klint I think ) is a QB coach for the Vikings. The youngest (Klein) is a scout for the Cowboys. I can see Gary doing it for a couple of years or so for his boys but he also allows the Jerry to keep Moore in training so to speak learning from Gary.

Also, talk about a coaching tree? check out assistants whose working under Gary

NFL head coaches under whom Kubiak has served:

• George Seifert, San Francisco 49ers (1994)
• Mike Shanahan, Denver Broncos (1995–2005)
• John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens (2014)
• Mike Zimmer, Minnesota Vikings (2019–present)

Assistant coaches under Kubiak who have become college or NFL head coaches:

• Troy Calhoun, Air Force (2007–present)
• Mike Sherman, Texas A&M (2008–2011)
• Vance Joseph, Denver Broncos (2017–2018)
• Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers (2017–present)
• Matt LaFleur, Green Bay Packers (2019–present)

Of course he's currently still on the Vikes staff so they'll have wait in their season ends but my money:

Kubiak is our guy with Marvin coming as his DC.

Kubiak just said he has no interest in returning to the sideline as a head coach in November.

McCarthy? An offensive coordinator who's offense was the least imaginative next to Jason Garrett?
I guy who has been laying around talking about how he suddenly believes in analytics?



No thanks.

It’s Garrett, Lewis, or McCarthy.

Those are your options.....what you gonna do?

I pick McCarthy, at least the dude has a ring, can’t be that bad.

Maybe we can finally hold the talent accountable if we have a proven SB HC.

 

[Whyjerry]

I'm not even gonna ask what that means.

It says it all if you don’t know. Happy New Year.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Dude has not even been hired and so many on here are dogging him. Mike has a 60+ winning percentage and a SB ring.

Yeah and the cowboys have 5 SBs from the 70s and 90s.

I dont believe McCarthy can win in todays NFL atm.

 

[willia451]

McCarthy it is then. At least we have a better than average chance he won't ice his own kicker.

 

[Brax]

why do people use "homers" so often? i use hate cause look around - JONES SUCKS - JONES THE DRUNK DRINKING AGAIN! all the doom and gloom from some people - what would you call it? emotional instability? misplaced rage? miffed at the events?

i'm far from a "homer" but they - whatever man.

And what is going to change????????

Looks similar to Brian Billick and Mike Martz. I dont want them either. Especially a neutered version without any power.

A "Breaking News" podcast is scheduled at 11pm central on DallasCowboys.com.

I’m rooting for him to become the first HC to win a SB with another team. That should make us favorites next year. Lol

 

[LittleD]

Rodgers is just a jerk.

He might be a jerk but, he's a fantastic QB who regularly whips our butts. Dak, on his best day, couldn't carry Rodgers jock.

 

[Playmaker3128]

When mccarthy walks in he commands instant respect from players having a SB ring. Not only that he commands respect from other coaches and officials as well. Unlike garret who was pretty much challenged by the official this year in that one game. You think officials would do that to a coach they respected?

Mccarthy seems like he can be a no nonsense guy if need be. I also like that he's dealt with divas in Aaron Rodgers before. He knows how to deal with a circus type atmosphere.
