My own personal belief and opinion is Sean McDermott will be our next Head coach/DC

That's the reason I posted this. Just makes sense from a schematic view and how the Jones boys would see things. Not saying I'm a big fan of it though.
He did a very good job with the Bills, despite them never getting over the hump. Many of their issues were who was running their offense. To me he is a similar type of coach as Dan Quinn. Solid, but not an elite option.

They really need that Bill Parcells/Jimmy Johnson type of HC. One who the players instantly respect and fear. One who can be that CEO who can hold not only the players, but the coaches accountable.

My hope is that Jerry hires Aikman to run the team and he brings in a Jimmy Johnson hard nose type of HC.
 
Depends on how many wins we get. I think if we get to 8 Jerry may well stick with what we have. He won’t want to pay out on a contract early unless he absolutely has to.
I don't think Jerry has too many "let the contract run out" situations left. He might get rid of him

People need to mutiny of they keep Schotty, fans and players….enough is enough with that dude and this lax culture.
 
After the season I truly think a great fit would be Hiring Sean McDermott to be our Head coach. He would also oversee our new DC Christian Parker. Sean has a Philly connection and may understand a bit what CP is trying to accomplish and could help greatly in his growth as a DC. I do not think he's interested in being a DC instead of head coach. I know DQ did it but I feel Sean might be in high demand this coming offseason. I believe he could help us immensely. At one time he was rated as one of the best Dc's and coaches. Maybe he can right this ship. Big upgrade from Schotty and could elevate CP or replace him. We could get a 2 for 1 if we hire him...the HC and dc. Gimme your thoughts guys.

He would be an upgrade from Schotty for sure. He would probably be much better.

But Ray, it is highly unlikely to happen. Jerry has made it crystal clear he does not value the HC position. He chose Schotty for his comfort and unless this team finishes 4-13, unfortunately I think Schotty is here for another year.

Always remember - Jerry doesn’t think like a normal GM. It’s all about him and his getting credit. Jerry loves to hire guys like Schotty, Garrett, Campo and Gayley because he wants everyone to think, “Wow, Jerry saw something no one else did”.

Jerry is really bad at hiring coaches. In fact, the worst. He made one great coaching hire and foolishly thought, “I will never do that again.” And he hasn’t.

I don't think people realize how horrible he was with clock management and just general conservatism.

He loved to kick field goals and punt.
 
Do you guys think any other head coach would want to come and coach the Cowboys for a few pennies?
