Per Mike Fisher: Jerry is worried if he can sell the idea of Mike McCarthy return to fans

[Big_D]

Jerry lives in a permanent state of self deception when it comes to the on field operation. What seems obvious even to non-expert fans like us is not obvious to Jerry or Giggles.

That boils down the the evaluation process. Thinking they are better off than they actually are is an on going problem. "we like our guys"! Even though we joke about that on here, it's a serious issue with this team. Father and son really seem clueless on the matter. The fact that they even brought Elliott back tells you how out of touch they are on this matter and simply don't care. And he still suits up and gets carries? lol And that's only one decision on a very long list.

Jerry needs to worry about signing FAs in March instead of going on vacation.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I’m already sold on it. What he’ll never sell me on is his approach to free agency. That has to change.

If he cared...he would have fired the GM at least 15 years ago...hired a REAL GM....and let said GM do his/her job. That person would have benchmarks and milestones they would have to meet. If they don't, you fire them and hire someone else until you get it right. I would not begrudge Jerry if he got it wrong...I loathe him because he's gotten wrong for 30 years, yet won't CHANGE!!!!

Agree 99% except for 'If he cared, he would have fired the GM at least 15 years ago'. I would agree totally 'If he cared, he would have fired the GM at least 22 years ago. Three straight lackluster 5-11 seasons, that followed four years of poor trial-and-erroring to re-capture Super Bowl glory, should have been the nail in any GM's coffin.

Jerry Jones needs to be taken out back behind the woodshed.

He shoved Garrett down our throats with no problem, I don’t see how he has an issue

Jerry Jones shoved Jason Garrett down Dallas fans' throats determined to prove his unquestionable football expertise he hired the next Tom Landry. He has never had any aspirations of doing the same with Mike McCarthy.

On this topic, Jones' issue is two-fold. One, he wants a head coach he can fully exploit in capturing as many dollars as possible. Two, he wants that head coach to deliver him a Super Bowl ASAP.

I believe this is the dilemma Jones faces. I do not think he is even three quarters confident in McCarthy's chances of leading Dallas to another Super Bowl. And I think he knows he can do his best PT Barnum sell job with another hire. Retaining McCarthy prevents him from escaping his self-made box.

He and DNA Kid #1 are poster children of smart alecks, people who think their philosophy is unquestionable, that need some commonsense beaten into them.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

No he's not. He is going to do whatever he wants to do. Just that simple.

Could not be said better.

I think Jerry has brain damage. Dallas is coming off 3 straight 12-5 seasons. After a bad playoff loss, he gives the HC an ultimatum.......I need you to win. A "prove it" year. He gives his coach ZERO help and support and basically lets him fail. They're 6-8 with the best they can be at 9-8. Did McCarthy actually succeed or fail ? I'm not sure if I even know what the answer is. Does Jerry ? Does anybody? Is it common practice to throw entire seasons away to make a point? Again, I think Jerry has brain damage.

It's been a downward spiral since around '94 when Jimmy left. Back when Jerry was doing marketing and not trying to make football decisions. Nothing will change.

You're kidding yourself, if he did it for red Garrett he'll do it for fat Mike! He hates to start over

He's afraid of dak having to learn a new offense

 

[rags747]

Mcarthy to the Raiders and take Dak

He's afraid of dak having to learn a new offense

That's my biggest issue as well, we want him to be comfortable, but at what expense? Change is good

For almost a decade and a half. Must not really care if you’re willing to throw that amount of time away!

Mcarthy to the Raiders and take Dak

They had a huge opportunity to finally rid themselves of Prescott. Now they’re stuck with him due to their own stupidity. What else is new?!
