So Mary I take it you’re a ”no” on the sans-a-belt coaching shorts? It would certainly be a throwback look! :lmao:
Combined with the sunglasses being worn at home games at ALL times, it could be a bold new fashion statement!
:cool::cool:
Well, at least NOT on McCarthy!! Now, some of the other coaches, maybe. :muttley:

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”.
:laugh: :flagwave: What else? What fun could be had?
I would love to see Mike celebrate in the end zone with the next defensive turnover.

Normally I agree with you on stuff Bobhaze, but since MM is likely auditioning for other jobs, he's not going to mail it in. That would be stupid.

That’s a fair point. But….of the last 4 head coaches here before Mac, only 1 ever got an NFL head coaching gig ever again. And that was Chan Gailey in Buffalo from 2010-12, a full decade after he had been fired in Dallas.I know Parcells retired so that kinda doesn’t count. But Campo, Wade and Garrett have never been a HC in the NFL again.

I understand your point but I don’t think Mike McCarthy is going to be in high demand after being here. Maybe he could get an OC job. He's a good HC but a lot of coaches after leaving here feel like they need a break from the circus.

He's done. He wouldn't even get a coordinator job.

Let the offensive unit play defense and vice versa.
In the huddle, have the QB drop to his knee and draw plays with his finger in the turf
Have the team waterboy go out for the coin toss.
Keep throwing the red flag out on every penalty, no matter which team the penalty is on.
