The really fun things Mike McCarthy should do the last 8 games

[Bobhaze]

If I was Mike McCarthy, I would refuse to go quietly. His neck is already in a noose of this owner/GM’s making. Big Mac and his entire coaching staff already know they are all about to be served up as the next scapegoat for the sins of Jerry Jones. And Jerry doesn’t like to fire coaches until the end of a year. You know, saving his money and all.

Sadly, there are 8 long, brutal weeks ahead and the playoff ship has long ago left the port. So if I was Big Mac and I knew my days are already numbered, why not go out having some fun? In fact, if I was McCarthy I would have so much fun with the game plan, use of personnel, and what I said in post game pressers, I would basically dare Jerry to fire me.

So with that in mind, here are some ”fun” things Big Mac could do in the next few weeks as a parting gift to the Jones regime:

• Create one play for Zeke…just one. Play him at center in that crazy formation used on the last play at SF two years ago. Do some kind of flea flicker out of that. And THAT will be the only play Zeke gets.
• Run a single wing formation for an entire possession with Trey Lance just running the ball.
• Never, ever punt no matter what.
• Onside kick after Brandon Aubrey’s usual first qtr FG.
• Dress on the sideline wearing the exact same dress suit as Jerry.
• Put Tyler Guyton in as a RB for a full series.
• Give Brandon Aubrey multiple chances to make a 70 yard FG.
• As a tip of the cap to Tom Landry, use Cooper Rush and Trey Lance to shuttle in plays.
• Start Will Grier for the Thanksgiving Day game.
• Try any player on the roster who would like to play WR for a series.
• Plan a play designed to take Rowdy out on a stretcher.
• Make the entire coaching staff wear super short matching “sans-a-belt” coaching shorts from the 80s on Thanksgiving.
• The whole team wears sunglasses at home at all times.
• The answer to every question at Big Macs press conferences should be, “Ask Jerry”.

What else? What fun could be had?

I would pay money to see some of these, otherwise would be funny if he got rip roaring drunk before the game then wore a t-shirt that said Jerry for president during the game LOL

Big Mac could just wear that t-shirt on the sideline each week, lol!

The last home game of the year against Wasington, bring in Roman Reigns at half time to give Rowdy a knockout punch.

Have a few servers walk out to the sideline with trays of hot dogs…….during the game! They gotta eat

Didn’t Barry Switzer eat a hot dog on the sideline once?

 

[nobody]

I'd have Parsons start one game as a RB and not play defense that game. Why not?

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Yes, believe it was at the Pro Bowl.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Wear a shirt with this printed on the front, only the faces are photoshopped with pics of Jerry and Stephen.

He could also hire 5 of the ugliest Girls from Baby Dolls and send them to Jerrys suite.

 

[Streifenkarl]

Never ever punt. That's something I'd like to see. Show at least a little dignity and use every down to get some yards.

No need to Photoshop. Everybody will understand.

IKR, gotta push the envelope. Has there ever been a coach fired during a game?

Don't know but Jerry's thinkin about extending Mike's contract right now, I'm telling ya. No better yes man out there.

The only reason for firing MM is so that Jerry can hold up the narrative that he's doing everything to win. He'll need a scapegoat.

 

[GoCowboysGo]

A whole game only using one play, the tush push!

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Why not shake things up a bit. Jerry said he wasn't interested in changing coaches, so I want Big Mike to lock him out of the locker room after the game. Can't wait to see the old fools reaction to that one

 

[noshame]

Install the 2016 offense for Lance.

Call Quinn and ask how to use Parsons and Overshown every down to create maximum chaos.

 

[csirl]

1. Ask Jerry to play QB.
2. Wear a paper bag on his head on the sideline.
3. Tell Anger to try and smash the big screen with every punt.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Throw deep routes to CeeDee and Turpin every down with an optional underneath route to Fergy. Once you hit the 50... it's Aubrey FG time!

Great thread. I laughed at a bunch of them


With the new insides rules they couldn't onside kick in the 1st Qtr, but heck do it anyway!!! I'll add a twist to the Aubrey 70 yarder. As soon as you get to that spot on the field, kick it. First down, second down, whatever. When the media asks after the game why you did it just say he is our best player and I thought it gave us the best chance to score. Also, the "ask Jerry" responses in the press conference would be incredible.

The whole team wears sunglasses!
