I will never understand this. McCarthy's expertise is offense its his whole life in coaching.
He was fired then embarrassed by rodgers and he spends a year studying like every team and every player so he says. He has a group of other coaches and they are studying schemes, trends etc....
Then he goes through the interview process and it looks like he has a few jobs to pick from and He ends up choosing Dallas.
Then one of the first things he does is keep Kellen Moore and says he will call plays so Dak doesn't have to learn a new offense.
None of this makes sense to me. Mccarthy has this chance to rebound his career and be considered among the best of the best in head coaches like his record says he is. Yet he is giving up Play Calling and running a different offense? again, this makes no sense.
McCarthy played in a small market where everyone loves everything the team does, no matter how good they were or how many criminals they had on the packers they were going to be treated like america's sweethearts and underdogs....now he is in the division with the top tv markets, a more demanding fan base that will turn on him 100% its just a matter of time and everything he does will be scrutinized incessantly.
So if you are trying to prove you are a great coach, your career is in offense, you spent a full year studying offenses and you are on record as saying that you should call your own plays then what is going on here? Dak is in his 5th year and they are about to give him more money than anyone else why cant he learn McCarthy's offense since mcCarthy will be here at least the length of his contract?
the only think I can compare it to is Parcells liking Zimmer and realizing there was talent on defense and he didn't want to shake it up that first year because there was so much other work to be done. The comparison doesn't really line up though because Dallas has the personnel to run any offense and back then the cowboys were way to small to play the 3-4 Parcells wanted.
I don't know I just don't get it.
the HC in Dallas doesn’t have GM duties.
this isn’t Seattle.
Big Mike didn’t have that power in GB.
Jerry wants KMoore calling the shots on O.
