NFL insider says things ‘weren’t great’ between Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore at end

[mardwin]

Big Mike "what's wrong with your offense"

Moore: "your QB"

That was Moore 's before McCarthy's.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

This basically confirms Moore wanted out. And there were plenty of opportunities and Moore got a much better QB.

on a team that has won fewer games in the last two years,,, Moore better brush up on 4th down calls

 

[McKDaddy]

Remember when last week when MM was asked about Kellen's job security? I thought his response was pretty direct, especially for a guy who's been your OC for the last 3 years. His response........Kellen's being evaluated alone with the other coaches....ouch! So maybe there's some truth here.......

Yep, the exasperated tones & he also said something like "I'm not playing this game". Made me think the reporter knew there were issues and was baiting MM.

 

[_sturt_]

My Spidey sense is that McC wanted to take over playcalling duties, and let that be known.

My Spidey sense is that when that was let known, Kellen considered that he was effectively being demoted.

And yeah, that would be a demotion.

My Spidey sense is that that's the whole reason Kellen wanted out, in reality... and that all sides were relieved with it became apparent that San Dieg... er... the other LA team... was highly interested.

 

[MikeT22]

I imagine that last play of the 49ers game they weren’t exactly loving all over each other lol

That was Moore's way of ensuring he would be able to get out.

 

[Typhus]

Dak could not get it done with Moore's scheme and Moore couldn't accommodate Daks limitations.
Why is this so hard for so many to comprehend.

 

[basel90]

McCarthy had to finger point Kelley and it was convenient to save his hide after the loss. It registered with Jerry and Stephen and kellen was frustrated anyway .
Dak is not a SB caliber QB that can overcome the flaws in the FO and the roster. Now McCarthy has to move closer to the super bowl to save his own hide . Otherwise the tom landry analogy becomes a funny quote that did not age well.

That did sound kinda weird to me, he got asked a fairly straightforward question if the OC would return and Big Mike looked totally pissed at the question and said he was not going to play along with this game.

There was something else going on that we were not privy to, no question about it.

The other fact once again is Joe Philbin, is Mike McCarthy’s Buddy and Dallas didn’t even renew his expiring contract. He served as OC for the Packers in the WCO and took over for McCarthy after he was fired in GB. He is essentially a right-hand man of Mike McCarthy and came with him.

So pretending like Mike had full say in what is happening with the offensive changes and he was just upset at Moore is pretty gullible IMO.

And this is why there will never be a great HC here as long as Jerry is alive.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Oh no! We can't have any "potential discomfort" going on at the country club.

 

[glimmerman]

I wonder why. I know he was not impressed with the abandoning the run early in the season. When they run balanced they win. When Pollard went down I was afraid it would happen. 2nd and 2 I want to know if it’s a Moore playcall or Dak changing the play. He could have and should have ran RPO and kept it himself. Was a easy pick up. These are questions we need answers to.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Big Mike "Why are you passing on 2nd 2 with an empty set. You should have run there."

Moore: "Run? What is this thing you call run?"

Exactly!!!!!!!!!

 

[Asklesko]

I want to believe the decision was Mac or Moore, but I'm afraid it was Dak or Moore.

Coaches always bicker.

Beta men like Breer never seem to understand that.

LOL, ever watch Saban on the sideline with his coaches? There is a good reason most of them prefer the booth.

Moore: We have Zeke as snapper, and we spread everyone as far to the right and left as possible so they can't be a part of the play. Then we throw a pass to the middle and watch the receiver get creamed. What do you think?

MM: I want you OUT!

 

[Havic]

Id be pissed too with some of that play calling. Dak makes it even worse.
