Mutually Parting Ways with Kellen Moore

[Reality]

That’s the beauty of this. We are going to find out who this was more about.

If Moore was a fraud he will be exposed . And we will see if McCarthy can make the improvement needed. Can’t ask for much more high drama than that.

Let’s hope our issues aren’t more about our QB.

Exactly! At the end of the 2023 season, we should have a good idea of how good Kellen Moore was and how good McCarthy is.

So we watch Ware and TO go on to win absolutely nothing then brag about the ownership? lol

I didn't brag about the ownership. Make no mistake this team was bad probably until about 2007. I'm not arguing with you there. I sit here and wonder why we never had the 1st overall pick with as bad as some of those teams were but I guess that's what 5-11 gets you. But I also sit here and wonder what exactly did Parcells do here? He changed the culture but didn't see it through. Set this team back because then we hired Wade.

Yea, I’m kinda done with those continuing to support Jethro . His undermining and distractions are overwhelming evident. I was done with him after Jimmy left.

Moore should have been let go the minute MM was hired. Stupid Jerry move of always having at least one hold over coach from the prior staff.
I wanted the MM to run the offense the way he wanted to and finally he gets his chance. For those saying his prior success was because of Rodgers, how many more SBs did Rodgers win after he left?
I want MM to be successful because if not, Quinn will be next man up and the Jerry cycle will continue.

I said that at the time to. But I think the issue was the offense was good and the defense was bad so it was easy to let Maranelli go and keep Moore. But ultimately, when they hired a new coach they should've got rid of Moore. Mike should've been allowed to hire his own coaches. And yeah Nolan sucked but that was his failure. He should be allowed to have his failures.

No one is supporting Jerry. Especially in the case of Parcells. I'm saying the opposite. Shouldn't have hired him. That failure is on Jerry. And all of these terrible head coaches he's hired.

That one Parcells team that made the playoffs was a bad team. I don't blame him entirely for that. Troy Hambrick as RB.....QC as QB....it was limited and overachieved but it was not a good team lol.

The entire team disappeared by 2010. Any quality plan was gone. This really reaches a whole new level of defending Jerry Jones. He took what could’ve been a dam good team after BP left and instantly killed it. Coaching hires, drafts, trades, free agency.. really nothing short of a joke on all fronts.

When Parcells showed up we were a laughing stock. When he left we were a Super Bowl contender. It would have been great if he'd stuck around a few more years but, man, am I grateful that we had him for as long as we did. Jerry and his acolytes would have never turned things around without Tuna.

Time will tell if this was the right move but the reason Moore is gone is the same reason Johnson left, Booger thought them disloyal.

Moore just didn't start talking to Staley this off season, he started a year ago. Not talking about a job but establishing a relationship.

Booger has the type ego that plays the "after all I've done for you" card. Narcissists demand loyalty and subrogated egos to their own.

Moore might have been more out the door than the Cowboys wanted because Booger is known for letting the coaches catch the heat to protect his players. He wants to be known as a "players' owner". Can't be execution of the plays, got to be the coach that called the play.

Prescott fans were pointing fingers just like Romo fans did at Garrett that it was all about the plays called and predictability.

Every OC in the NFL is tied to the talent of his QB in calling plays. Fans ask "why don't we do what other teams do"? Because maybe your QB doesn't do them as well.

Lot of complaints about the comeback routes but have you really looked at Prescott's execution on crossing routes? Romo has the same struggles except with Witten or other slower receivers.

It will be interesting to see the type pass plays Moore calls for Herbert because he is a more accurate and diversified passer than Prescott. The play book is pretty wide open.

I wonder if the "Moore is gone" euphoria will hold should the Chargers offense take off and the Cowboys struggle?

 

[Stash]

Wasn't what? Our head coach?

Our playcaller.

Help me understand how am I defending Jerry? I thought we were talking about Parcells?

I agree with you that Tuna did change the culture here and left us better than we were when he came but ultimately he burned us as well leaving when he did. This team IMO, could've been a legit SB contender had he stayed or Payton became head coach. Going to Wade was good for regular season for a small period of time but ultimately brought camp cupcake in and damaged this organization.

 

[Captain-Crash]

@CouchCoach is correct, it had to do with the loyalty of Moore talking to Staley and also has to do with covering for the players.



Jerry couldn't come out and say his multimillionaire player can't get it done, so he does what he always does, blame the coach. shrugs

He drafted Ware and brought in TO? Like that’s somehow a major accomplishment without taking into account what was happening at the time.

Before Parcells they were a non playoff team.

Then in his 4 years here they ‘became’ a playoff caliber football ‘team’ with an overall roster that didn’t exist before.

And then within 4 years of that they were once again a non playoff team.

Talking about how Jerry saved the day on draft day or got quality jersey sales out of a free agent is pretty funny considering the rest of his handiwork.

Drafting a war daddy and overpaying for a WR are a few of his favorite past times. It’s assembling a roster that’s the problem.

This is also my issue with McCarthy or his power here. Either he didn't have the power to overrule Kellen or he didn't see fit to do it. Both concerns IMO.

That is a concern of mine also. He is the HC after all.

 

[Jipper]

Change is good and it needed to happen- kellen will do well and we will also get better, this is a win win for both

 

[big dog cowboy]

Some Cowboy fans will need to be rooting as hard this year against the Chargers

I will be rooting for them big time. Living in Chief territory and having to put up with their fans along with Kelce and Mahomes is painful.

Parcells had all he could take from keeping Booger from his tendencies. Imagine how fatiguing that must have been. He took an extra million to stay another year because he was building his dream retirement home in Saratoga.

Booger brought Owens in, the last player Parcells wanted to see and I think that set the wheels in motion of moving on.

 

[big dog cowboy]

He drafted Ware and brought in TO?

Jerry brought in TO not Parcells.

Parcells didn't want him.

 

[CouchCoach]

That is a concern of mine also. He is the HC after all.

A first for me. A HC admitting in the post game he had 0 involvement in the game plan or calling in a playoff game. I would not have admitted that because that's when I lost respect for McCarthy and joined those thinking he would have said anything to get the job.

He may be the play caller this season but if you track those strings on his arms and legs you will see they lead right back to the same marionette manipulator.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Parcells brother passed away during the season. He was through after that. He could take no more after that and with Jerry being Jerry.
