Since there are no plans to win, which coach would provide the most entertainment and make Jerry's life miserable?

Prepares yourselves for yet another yes man. It will be just a different voice who will be undermined by Jerry. Different head coach, same results.
Going to be a lot of disappointed fans when thinking we were getting a HOF Coach or even a crazy wildcard like Coach Prime.. instead end up with another Wade Phillips, Jason Garrett or Chan Gailey type, :muttley:

This is the man who went for Bill Parcells in 5-11 frustration but I bet he thinks the team is still close enough that he can go with one of his original recipe favorites.

I'm Team Vrabel. I'd take Belichick but I just don't think that happens because neither side wants it enough.

Vrabel would at least make us tough again. I don't think a Johnson or Slowik make Dak into something new after a decade in the league, which is the only reason you hire them.

And Deion is a total clown. He shouldn't even be a consideration.
Why is Deion a total clown? Here we go again. It ain't gonna happen, so you can relax, but why is he a total clown?

Deion is not an X’s and O’s guy. He is a motivational speaker that likes coaching his sons.
Ok....No problem.

But who in the college ranks is the X's and O's guys and not a manager like most top College HCs are? Kirby Smart? Nick Saban always had coordinators. Lincoln Riley can't seem to groom Miller Moss all of sudden. Dan Lanning gets a transfer portal QB of late. Who? Who isn't the motivational speaker in the college ranks as a HC?

The positive to BB is that he'll only take the job if he's give full autonomy. Jerry will see the attraction of KM as he can control or at worse manipulate. Johnson has the advantage of working with a stationary QB......but as with Moore I wonder if Jerry would see him as a youngster which wont stand up to his meddling.

It was thrown around this forum Johnson wanted 15 million per yr to coach . A seemingly ridiculous figure especially for Jerry to spend on a rookie HC.

BB as pointed out without a HOF QB named Tom is below .500 and he’s older more stubborn than MM .

Joe Brady Buffalo Bobby Slowick Houston Kliff Kingsbury Wash to start with three are young OC having success that should interview .

Dak is the issue in that he’s older and a stationary QB . Not what success looks like in the NFL today . Heck even Joe Burrow in Cincy is 4-7 . Not all his fault of course but still ….

Anyone see the Bills QB take off on a designed play to pick up the 1st down to seal the game against the Chiefs and instead of just the 1st down he busted the whole thing for a TD . Dak cannot do that . Joe Brady called that play .

A young OC hired to be Dallas HC next yr is going to somehow work with a more stationary QB , rolling pockets and get rid of the damm ball Dak needs to be on the menu .

JJ is only concerned with his bottom line, being a businessman and all, not the teams bottom line. And team's bottom line is now in sight. I suspect whoever he chooses, he'll be a yes man, and that has been the problem all along. Who, in their right mind, would work knowing that. Would you?

Obviously, MM is in the last year of his deal and given the current state of the franchise, he will not be brought back. I hope, that for once, we completely BLOW THE STAFF OUT!! Don't keep this guy or that guy. START FRESH with who the HC wants in. But with that said... Who do you want as the next HC of the Dallas Cowboys?

1. Bill Belichick.
Pros
:
Proven Track Record: Belichick is one of the most successful coaches in NFL history, with six Super Bowl rings and a track record of building disciplined, competitive teams.

Defensive Expertise: The Cowboys have often struggled with consistency on defense, even though they have key talent like Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs. Belichick’s defensive expertise could elevate the Cowboys’ defense and make it a formidable unit.

Culture Shift: Belichick’s strict and meticulous coaching style might bring the accountability and structure that Dallas sometimes lacks. His approach could push players to focus on fundamentals and execution, which the Cowboys need in high-stakes games.

Cons:
Potential Personality Clash with Jerry Jones: Belichick is used to complete control over football operations, and Jerry Jones is famously hands-on. This clash could be problematic if Belichick wants more authority than Jones is willing to give.

Rigid Style: Belichick’s disciplined approach doesn’t fit every roster. The Cowboys’ locker room includes big personalities, and it might be challenging to implement his strict culture and system, especially if some players resist change.

Decline in Recent Success: Belichick’s recent seasons with the Patriots haven’t been as successful post-Tom Brady. Some critics argue he may be past his prime or that his coaching style is better suited for rebuilding rather than maximizing established talent.

Offensive Philosophy: Belichick’s teams tend to be conservative offensively. Dallas fans might be disappointed if the team shifts toward a more run-heavy, low-risk offense, particularly with dynamic players like Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb.

Mike Vrabel
Pros

Player-Friendly Yet Disciplined Approach: Vrabel is known for being a strong leader who connects well with players, creating a tough and disciplined team culture without alienating the locker room—a balance that could be valuable for the Cowboys' mix of talent and personalities.

Defensive-Minded Coach with Playoff Experience: Vrabel has a solid defensive background and has led the Titans to multiple playoff appearances, often maximizing his roster’s potential. His experience could help Dallas better utilize its defensive stars and prepare them for playoff success.

Cons
Limited Offensive Innovation: Vrabel’s teams in Tennessee have focused on a more traditional, run-heavy offense. This approach might not maximize the Cowboys' offensive weapons and could lead to friction with a team used to a more dynamic style of play.

Mixed Record in High-Pressure Situations: While Vrabel has had some playoff success, his record is inconsistent in crucial games. This may be a concern for a franchise under constant scrutiny and pressure to perform.

Deon Sanders
Pros

High Energy and Strong Player Appeal: Deion Sanders brings charisma and energy that resonates with players, making him an inspiring leader who could attract top talent and bring out the best in players—qualities he's demonstrated at Jackson State and Colorado.

Winning Mentality and Championship Experience: "Prime Time" is a two-time Super Bowl champion and Hall of Famer with a winning mindset, which could be a huge cultural asset to the Cowboys as he emphasizes confidence, discipline, and excellence.

Cons
Limited NFL Coaching Experience: While Sanders has proven himself as a college coach, he has no NFL coaching experience. The NFL is a different level, and questions would arise about how his style and strategies might translate.

High-Risk, High-Reward Personality: Sanders’ outspoken, larger-than-life personality is a double-edged sword. While it attracts attention and boosts morale, it could clash with the Cowboys' structured environment and lead to media distractions if success doesn't come quickly.

Ben Johnson
Pros

Offensive Innovation: Johnson has been instrumental in revitalizing the Lions' offense, showing creativity in play-calling and maximizing talent. His fresh offensive approach could unlock new potential in the Cowboys’ skilled offensive players, especially Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Tony Pollard.

Up-and-Coming Talent: As a rising star among coordinators, Johnson brings a forward-thinking, adaptable mindset, which could give the Cowboys an edge in a league increasingly focused on innovative offense and analytics.

Cons
Limited Head Coaching Experience: Johnson has never been a head coach, so there’s a question of how he’d handle the leadership of an entire team and navigate the intense pressure of the Cowboys' high-expectation environment.

Unproven in High-Stakes Situations: While successful in Detroit, Johnson has limited experience in big, high-pressure games like the playoffs. This could be a concern for a franchise that needs a coach capable of delivering postseason success.
there are a few other candidates. who costs middle of hte pack. not the cheapest and worst, but these coaches are above 12M a year and I don't think Jerry is going to spend that kind of money

Going to be a lot of disappointed fans when thinking we were getting a HOF Coach or even a crazy wildcard like Coach Prime.. instead end up with another Wade Phillips, Jason Garrett or Chan Gailey type, :muttley:

We may end up with Zimmer. Just another Jerry Jones yes man.

Dak may be finished soon.

NY Post has BB going to Jax . Makes sense . In that city he wouldn’t have Jerry and they too will be drafting solidly probably top 5 . Trevor Lawrence over aging Dak ,
