Not really, I think he would seriously consider bringing Bill Belichick here.... It may not happen but he would be like a bill Parcells hire and I think that he would do it but I prefer Vrable, maybe Flores

by the way as much as none of us like the Mike McCarthy hire it seems like we're not me but a lot of you you do realize go back to 2020 show me all the head coaching availability and everyone of them was filled with who write their names on a list and I'm gonna tell you right now Mike McCarthy was the best hire in 2020 nobody's gonna come up with a better one because it didn't happen no other team brought in a better more successful coach from 2020 till right now they're all gone but the stuff Mike McCarthy's done here over the last three years none of them even come close to that so as much as we didn't like the hire he was a very successful hire compared to the other 5 or 6 that were hired in 2020 none of them were even close to as successful as Mike McCarthy you can call it what you will yes man a Gerry type guy but he it was the best hire..
Flores is my guy but knowing Jerry he will bring Kellen Moore back.

Personally, I would love a young, innovative, modern Offensive HC from the Coaching Trees of McVay or Shanahan, but hiring either Saban or Bellicheck is what this franchise needs to do for their next HC hire when MM ultimately departs.

Why do we want a old retread HC?

If you read my last post about McClay, it's all about convincing Jerry/Stephen that they need to change how they operate, how they build a roster. A former coach with "clout" who they respect might be the only chance to convince change is needed. Bellicheck has 8 Super Bowl Rings, 6 with the Patriots as HC and 2 with the Giants as DC. Saban has 7 College Championship Rings. Both are considered the GOATS on each level.

-We know Bellicheck has strong ties with the Cowboys, working on the competition committee with Stephen for years. He also has a close relationship with Jimmy who helped him early in his HC career.

-Cowboys always had close ties with Alabama throughout the draft prep for years. People tend to forget that Jason Garrett was Saban's QB Coach while with the Miami Dolphins.

Both are 72 years old with a wealth of experience and motivation. Bellicheck wants to prove to Kraft that he can win without Kraft & Brady. As for Saban, he crashed and burned in his only opportunity as an NFL HC.

There are some benefits and pitfalls from each:

-Bellicheck remains a great DC, but struggles hiring competent OC's
-Saban is aware of all the college, modern schemes and talent, but he lacks experience in the NFL game.
Nick Saban? :laugh: He was a disaster with the Dolphins several years back. Great college coach who couldn’t cut it in the NFL.

Nick Saban? Ummm no way. He already failed in the pros. He's very old now and he excelled in college because he could stack the competition in his favor by gobbling up recruits. Once NIL came around, Bama's playing field got more even and you saw their dominance decrease. You can't stack up talent in the NFL and just run 90% of the competition off the field like they did at Bama.

Belichik is now a very old retread who went downhill fast once Brady left. He also made very terrible roster and draft moves but Brady masked a ton of that.

Saban isn't coming here. lol. He left Alabama bc he didn't want to deal with kissing the hiney of prima donna football players. Thats a huge part of coaching in the NFL.

After seeing Mike's outdated schemes I can't believe how many are clamoring for 75 year old coaches.
Do you honestly think other coaches ( young and innovative you say ) are running plays MM has never seen? A defensive player from the Lions just literally said we had ONE weapon. BTW.......how is McVay's offense doing these days? The age of a coach has nothing to do with the scheme IMO. Hell, Andy Reid is 66 and doing fine.

You do realize that Nick Saban

the guy who was already up in the NFL what was it the Miami Dolphins one-year total disaster quit and ran back to college you want that guy a quitter

I mean bill Parcells was a nice figure here but he also quit on us early cost us Sean Payton in my opinion.

so you got to be careful who you're suggesting here I'm not saying he'd be a failure here but didn't we see this guy already fall on his damn face?

Also Bill Belichick I would be OK with him here however has he ever done anything without Tom Brady I realize Siri might respect this man like he did bill Parcells but wouldn't you want the younger more in tune version of that tree for me I think I want Vrabel here.
Bellicheck got fired before his success with the Patriots

Thats a horse manure perspective. Saban is the GOAT in college. He left miami after one year bc you can't win in the NFL without a QB. He thought he had the problem solved and had Drew Brees set to come to Miami ....but the Miami medical staff wouldn't clear him so he went to the Saints. Then Alabama came calling and it was a no-brainer. Here you go...... learn something.

Need a coach who will bench or cut paid starters who take plays off, especially when they are not getting the ball. Ofc no coach can do that because they are circumvented by the owner

Bellicheck was fired in his first stint as an NFL HC, with Saban on his staff. Doesn't mean Saban cannot become a successful HC.

I'm not you will find a coach out there who hasn't been fired at least once in their career. It comes with the territory and certainly doesn't mean they can't coach. With Saban, you are getting a coach with the highest standards and will change the culture.

People forget Andy Reid was fired by the Eagles cause he couldn't win the big game, look at him now! Look at Jimmy's lack of success with the Dolphins post Cowboys, does that make him a poor HC too?

Does Bill have it in him to oversee the rebuilding of a team? You look at how this team is poorly built and how they run the team and only conclusion you can honestly come to is you come here to get paid, not to win.

Saban was a disaster in Miami, he ran back to college after lying saying he wouldn't..

Belicheat wants control, he's not getting that in Dallas and he's 72, no thanks to either one!
People also said Parcells wanted control, he worked fine with Jerry.

Saban couldn’t handle NFL players. They showed him screaming at one player during a practice and the player walked off. He couldn’t handle the heat from the press conferences. He vehemently denied he was interested in the Alabama job and a couple of days later he was on a plane for Alabama. The guy quit on the Dolphins. He had a losing record in his two years in Miami. Bill Belichick was fired in Cleveland he didn’t quit on the team. Besides Saban is 72 years old. The guy retired, he’s burned out. The Cowboys need a young energetic head coach.
