I look at a guy who atbleast knows what it's like and what it takes. Not saying I wouldn't take a college coach, but Saleh wasn't given much and deserves at least 1 more chance his D was good with the 49ers l. Much like when we gave Quinn another chance. I thinknwe confused HCs sometimes with the coordinators. Reason I wanted ro give MM a chance was he was taking over playcallimg which would've showed what HE has. Same with Saleh
I would love to give him a second chance....as a coordinator, much like Quinn. I wouldn't be angry if he ends up being the guy, and I absolutely agree that he wasn't given a fair shot, but the game dictates that if you fail, you drop down a notch and work your way back up. I think he could do great things with this defense, especially if we manage to grab a couple of good hogs up front. I'm just not convinced he should get a HC gig right after flaming out in NY. He butted heads with ownership and Rodgers. Good for him for standing his ground, but is it really going to be much different here with JJ and Dak? That's my concern.
I did mean Ben Johnson, yes. Jerry needs to understand that his preferences are holding this franchise back from taking the next step. His Super Bowls were won by coaches with no NFL experience. I have no idea why he's stuck in this loop of retreads. Parcells was a smart move. We needed a cultural rebuild and he corrected course. Second best hire of JJ's tenure as GM. He tempered that momentum by hiring Wade, a great defensive mind, but a weak leader. He screwed up even worse with his decade long science experiment in Garrett, who had very limited coaching experience btw.
that ship has sailed !
yeah he waited to the deadline to say he wasnt hiring MM lol. Stabbed him in the back by not letting him interview with the bears.
Most head coaches do not general manage and Jerry certainly doesn't scheme or call plays. Even McCarthy stated that he got more input regarding players and coaches than he did with the Packers. He actually preferred it. However team owners rightfully and usually are not GMs either. No objectivity or accountability in that dual psychological self-serving role. The Cowboys have an inept upper management group with a limited football IQ and when Jerry as the owner/GM makes his usual myopic personnel decisions along with his financial-centric executive son Stephen, the results are team development mediocre and cap management erratic or destructive. Jerry is ancient in years and that is a liability not an asset even as a GM figurehead.
Could be our replacement for Zim….
Good post. I agree.
What game dictates that? That only depends on the landscape of things. As you see it's not many good CURRENT choices out there
Anyone who coaches Dallas will be a yes man. If there is a candidate who isn’t a yes man, he won’t be hired, or he will be fired fast. Frankly, all NFL coaches are yes men. If the owner says do something or tells the GM to do something other than what the coach wants, that’s what happens. The owner is the boss everywhere, and no owner will allow an employee to not ultimately do what he or she wants. The difference is that most owners are not telling coaches and gms what to do because they do not want to be that involved.
Zimmer is a bloated nepo hire get rid of asap
I would be surprised by Gruden or Carrol they are not yes men, Moore I s my pick with Zimmer as DC and disciplinarian.
I'd be fine with those scenarios. If Carroll is chosen though, you'd like to have an heir apparent in the building, so Saleh could realistically take over at that time.
