I am SO NOT.
Why?
I am SO NOT.
I am really really concerned Jerry and Stephen are going to throw darts at names and then try and bring those people together...like Coach x on offense and Coach x on defense instead of things happening organically and the head coach hiring his own staff.
What is the point of hiring a new coach with new schemes and ways of teaching etc...if you are going to pair him with someone he doesn't want or forcing existing coaches from different schemes on him. You are not really maximizing his ability to win.
a guy like mccarthy has a whole bunch of assistants that are available to be hired to help him install his offense and run it how he wants from day one because they have done it already and successfully in green bay.
Why?
Rest of original
If Moore is going to run the timing based JG, Norv, Zampese offense forget it! I want all new everything. I’m tired of button hooks.
Would it shock you if Jerry put Lewis and McCarthy in a room together and said "I'll hire the both of ya, and we'll flip a coin to see who gets to be the head coach!"
Because it's another dynamic for failure, just like Wade and Garrett was. Riley isn't ready and is simply a good offensive coordinator at this point, and Lewis is an example of a failed head coach, not some you want teaching anyone else.
I can see that in Jerry's twisted mind:
Lewis would handle the defense that Riley clearly can't, and then hold his hand while he learns on the job to be a head coach.
If that sounds like Wade Phillips - Jason Garrett all over again, it's because it is.
Same old crap.
Unreal, but I don't know what anyone expected.
I posted something years ago here about how he refuses to eat contracts of assistants.
He simply will not do it. They all work for him so everyone should get along.
Also so he can have "his guys" on the new staff to be his eyes and ears.
It's a terrible and dysfunctional organization and he created it. It's not changing because Garrett left. We are simply getting a new Garrett.
He may have been talking about RileyI'm not sure that those tweets refute what Fish is claiming?
It's that Amish thing I don't think I can take. Makes me think of a lack of shaving.
That's why I think in the end....It's gonna be Kellen's job. Jerry and Stephen will split the difference. Stephen wants to go young...Jerry wants proven experience....Kellen made the #1 offense. They go out and get a real defensive coordinator w/ experience.

I think this pairing would be more McVay/Wade than Wade/Garrett.
I do have some reservations about Riley as a leader of men in the NFL, but what this offense desperately needs is to be dragged into the 21st century. Riley is the guy everyone else is “borrowing” their schemes from. He’s not ahead of the curve, he’s drawing the curve. He’s the guy you want steering this ship while Lewis runs the defense.
How in the hell is moore smarter than McVay?A year ago Sean McVay was the darling of the NFL and Dallas has a smarter version of him in Kellen Moore. You don't toss that away because you finished 8-8 in a season where you had 11-5 talent. They aren't going to force him on the new HC either, but it would be dumb to throw the baby out of with the bathwater.
I don’t want a coach forced on or “highly Suggested” to our new head coach. I also don’t want a coach that needs their hand held. If we keep making the same stupid decisions, we are going to keep getting the same stupid results!
Except they aren’t even remotely comparable. Riley is an actual offensive play calling savant and has been to the college playoffs 3 years in a row for a major program. He also has tailored his offense to 3 different types of QBs while doing it. Jason Garrett had no real experience calling plays and no experience leading a team on his own.
If Lincoln Riley was your run of the mill coach, this wouldn’t even be up for discussion. His scheme is legit and he would turn Prescott into a top 3 QB. If that means pulling someone like Lewis in at DC, so be it.
