To be fair, GM is only a part time gig for Jerry, he has other businesses and financial opportunities to attend to. He has boxing, MMA, and other assorted events to negotiate. He just helped negotiate a deal to bring IndyCar Grand Prix Racing to Jerry World. That doesn't even count his non Cowboys or Jerry World adjacent business interests.



Then he needs to get someone in here who CAN do full time GM

Well, exactly, so, a good OC and QB coach should be enough coaching for the offense. If we're paying the QB that much, then we shouldn't need an offensive minded HC while he's here. Especially if we have Dak here for 3-4 more years, why not get someone in that time span that can focus on the defence. Then, when we go for the next QB, get an offensive coach.
We've had several offensive HC that surprise did almost nothing while they had a legit OC. Mike didn't even know our offensive lingo till he began forcing KM out.

Remind me, what side of the ball did Tom specialise? What side of the ball did Jimmy specialise?

As for OC, why not get a guy like Foerster who specialises in the run game for Dak? Then, let a defencive coach like a Glenn work with Saleh on making sure this defence can compete in all the ways necessary? A QB's best friend is the running game. Getting Dak an OC who specialises in the run can take a massive load off Dak. Having Emmitt didn't make Troy (I'm not comparing the two, I'm just making a point) any less of a QB. If anything, Emmitt made Troy a better player. We also had a great defence at that time to help. So, why not get a defencive coach (and again, I say Glenn in part with what I saw yesterday and last season, and in part because he's played here) to run the team and make this defence a true doomsday defence, and let Dak work with someone for the plays?

Oh trust me, I know all about that gaslighting statement from him. I know he thinks he's the smartest man in the room, but has no true focus or care about the team. That's why the Packers game will probably be the last playoff game he's alive to see.

Really want someone from the Shanahan tree that knows how to coach blocking, not just the OL but even their receivers block well. In a world where QB prices are crazy unless you have an elite QB lets take the pressure off of him and make the run game a core focus. But also one where you can elevate the runner. So a good runner becomes better, great becomes elite etc. You take that and add some motions, fakes, play actions all off the same formations so defenses do not really know what you are trying to do. Goff took the rams to the SB running the same basic formation and about 6 plays over and over setting up reverses, screens etc off that 1 play.

But I thought Schottenheimer was some kind of well respected run game guru?
And Solari too...
LOL

Compile a list of once successful HCs over the past 20 years who are no longer viewed as desirable NFL HC candidates. There you will find the next HC of the Cowboys….

Well, and that's where I think Foerster comes in as OC. If you watch the 49ers run the ball, look at how massive the holes are that they can run through. Look what they're doing with their depth running backs. Foerester is the one in charge of that given his position. That's why I want him as OC.

Realistically we're getting one of Jerry's boys, aka a Jerry friendly coach that implements a cupcake culture. Ideally we would have seen what Harbaugh or Bellichick could have done or maybe get some young, tough-nosed coach, but we won't.

Well, and a retread may not be the best idea either. That's why I'm pounding the table for Glenn (or Ben Johnson). I think Glenn or Johnson would be a new innovative coach, combined with Foerester and and Saleh, who can bring new ideas to this team.

You don’t bring in a high profile, expensive DC to run the D for your defensive head coach.
If Glenn is the HC he’d also be running the D and he brings in other guys beneath him that know his system. Glenn and Saleh don’t even run the same style of defense

Also I don’t believe Foerester has ever been an OC or called plays in his life. This probably isn’t the time to start in his mid 60’s in a high pressure situation

Well, then perhaps Ben Johnson or Flores as HC and Saleh at DC. Either way, I want to try something different at HC, and I'd even be willing to try Saleh AT HC. But that's kinda where I'm at with that. Or heck, maybe we let Glenn pick his DC.

As for Foerster (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Foerster), he's had one year of experience as OC. I do get what you're saying with him, but he is from the Shanahan Tree, and he would be working with Dak on the plays. The advantage for him is that he wouldn't be necessarily calling the plays on his own. Dak would be the one more or less calling the plays. Foerester would be basically setting the schemes, the blocking for run plays, and suggesting plays to Dak. Essentially, he'd be bringing a SFO style offense to what Dak likes to run, and likely much better blocking and running scheme.

Why not? Don't you think coaches like Belichick and Flores would insist on it. The 4-3 scheme will small LB's and the best pass rusher in the league getting beaten up by Tackles has been a complete failure.
I like the 3-4 but that we don't have the 3 down linemen to pull it off.....especially that space eating NT

That's why it may be time to start trading and tanking. Maybe start shopping Parsons so we can start bringing in those types of players.

Belichick or Flores for me. Both are disciplinarians and both run 3-4 DEF which I believe we need,
I’m a big Flores fan. I could get on board with bill just because he would bring some discipline and accountability. But we probably get someone just like McCarthy because a real coach wants to be able to run his team
