I certainly wouldn't have chosen an old retread who couldn't do any better than linebackers coach at this point in is career. Nobody wants Mike Nolan to run their defense.

Go get a young up-and-comer. Geez, go get Wade Phillips. Somebody young who's been around a dominant defense, or somebody older who has coordinated one.


so basically anyone? and sure, Wade would come back here? plenty of coaches say "I want to work for Dallas" Lordy best franchise to work with right now. I get your opinion, but right now, this is about MM and MM is making his mark hes going for guys he trusts and can get here. Who knows who he asked and they said no. I dont know personally.

I think it is stupid to judge nolan based on his past gigs, and before the 2020 season.
People change and learn, so he may be different and better DC than he was in the past.
I will wait and judge players and coaches after the season starts, say mid point, after 8 games, then we can have a good idea of how they are doing.

Fair to say that's the largest coaching staff in the league? Purty sure twould be.

I'm wondering what's the guiding philosophy behind that, and hope someone will ask McC that question. Is it that he feels that coaching staffs are overworked as a rule, and that, given Jerry's openness to it, he wanted to spread the division of labor out? Or, is it that some of these guys are actually going to be subsumed in the "analytics" work that he wants to initiate? Or something else?

I heard we had 25 coaches last year.

I count 19, but I have to admit, I didn't even realize it was that many.

(I don't count Strength & Conditioning, no offense to them.)

We get a more experienced staff. Not every position is an upgrade though. I think the OL, LB, and ST units will see improvement but we had some really bad coaching with ST and LB last year. This won't matter if we fail to address some serious lack of talent along the defense.

exactly. Better than the group of “learn on the jobbers” we had last year

No kidding. Sure some of these guys have already won a super bowl, but I don't want them because I preferred when we hired players off the street like Colombo and from high school like Kitna to be professional coaches in the NFL. Cause that was really working for us!

This forum will turn on Fat Mikey too if he can’t take us further than we’ve been. They turned on everyone else.

What I don’t understand is why Jerry kept JG so long, appeared to love the man, wanted him to be successful, gave him chance after chance, BUT never came to the point of allowing him to hire his own coaches or to actually control the offense and defensive approaches under a single philosophy. The two approaches just make no sense to me.

That's actually misplaced. Mine have been honest questions out of curiosity. And I know why you'd say that ("no matter..."), but I wouldn't be one of those who falls in that category in this place.
