Per Josina Anderson MM issues with being hired

I kinda pity Mike McCarthy. As someone else pointed out to me, Gayle Benson has allowed her general manager, Mickey Loomis, to outlive his effectiveness at doing his job for way too long.

Who could blame McCarthy hesitating diving into the deep end of the pool with someone like Loomis? He should secure some managerial assurances before signing. No need in walking away from one circus and stepping into another one without being confident where you stand.

Takes balls to be unemployed rather than take a bad deal. Jerral probably offered nothing of substance and no guarantees of player quality and it appears the Saints are operating the same way.

Yet he was SHOCKED that he didn't want to stay here like MM do you know your actual worth?? Lol

He will join the HC graveyard in Dallas.

The Cowboys are usually your last head coaching opportunity.

Watch him lose the job to Kellen Moore, that guy he didn’t want in Dallas because he said he scores too quickly, while Moore also just ended up putting 55 on the scoreboard in the NFC conference championship…

not big balls given the money Big Mike has already made

They just interviewed Moore in-person, flying to Philly. These could be just leaks to set the stage for the hiring of Moore.

 

[hsfolk]

sounds like it's Moore's job to lose

And honestly could probably go get a media gig pretty easily at this point.

I see him as the new spokesman for Jersy Mike's Subs next year.

Then write a book about his time in Dallas!!

Being unemployed isn't hard when you are a millionaire.

I'm not defending Jerry or the Cowboys and I have said I think McCarthy is a good coach, but there is a valid argument to how well he would have done without Quinn as his defensive coordinator, given that Dan Quinn just coached a team predicted to finish last in the NFC East to the NFC Championship game. There is also the fact that McCarthy's first choice for defensive coordinator was Mike Nolan, who was historically bad with the Cowboys.

If the Cowboys offense remains healthy and finishes in the top 10 in 2025 with Schottenheimer calling the plays, that would also bring into question how much Kellen Moore (whose playcalling led his new team to the NFC Championship as well) and later Schottenheimer helped McCarthy achieve those 12-5 seasons.

Again, I'm not defending anyone or even criticizing McCarthy. I'm just saying right now there are valid questions that should be asked and maybe that limits what McCarthy can demand in return for contract terms.

League sources, probably MM agent trying to prop MM before he goes back to the barn with the other vagrant coaches for the next cycle of hires. MM just like GB no real interest, tells a lot.

Maybe he needs to take a year off, and go to north carolina

To watch every play of every game and learn new methods.

Considering we hire way later than everyone else we typically get the leftovers.
