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

[TheCritic]

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.

Oh I agree, I don't see MM getting another HC gig and his play calling isn't going to get him an OC gig either.

Mike should just show up on sunday wearing an oversized hoodie with the sleeves cut off, hood over his head covering his eyes.

Just as an F you to Jerry.

That’s a good one! Troll Jerry and Bill B.

• Dress on the sideline wearing the exact same dress suit as Jerry.
• Please let Vegas make this a prop bet. Those poor buttons wouldn't make it pass the first quarter

I realize this is not a serious thread and we are trying to have some fun but...isn't there a visor that is tinted that I've seen RB's use? I mean if it's a problem why wouldn't we wear them?

I can’t remember…did the NFL ban the dark visor over the helmet? Haven’t seen it in so long.

 

[IceStar-D7]

I thought you were going to say "coach"...My bad.....

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?

BA kicking a 70 yarder is a no brainer

I would bench Diggs

Start Lance

Make Parsons actually play LB

Mazi at Fullback

Bench Lamb if he drops or short arms a pass

Keep Zeke off the game day roster

 

[Praxit]

....fake some FG's and fake some punts. Throw in mega trick plays.

Have some fun. End it with a bang.

 

[ArtClink]

I love the toss sweep with JJ on the sideline…Any of the above could make for a fun last half of the season!

Would love to see that collision lol.

 

[ArtClink]

Please never mention Cooper Rush and the Holy Grail again in the same sentence please, thank you

Great point!

 

[Buzzbait]

Play Luepke!!! Why not put the kid in there enough to make him or break him instead of hiding him in the background.

Maybe have a package for Luepke at QB, lol.

 

[Manster_Mash]

Use Louisiana Cougar coach Red's strategy of having Rush kneel down on every offensive play.

 

[ArtClink]

Maybe have a package for Luepke at QB, lol.

Say what you want about Luepke, but IMO he's better than Zeke (who isn't?) and Luepke unlike a lot of players always hustles. But, yeah I'd love to see Luepke at QB!

Perhaps a hacker could get into the video feed of the jumbotron at American Telephone & Telegraph (AT&T) Stadium and put up the following content during the game.

1. Running clock of years, months, daze, hours, etc since last div playoff win
2. Pics of our beloved GM giving women his "Johnny Walker Blue Soaked" unwanted advances
3. A continuous feed of the owner's box during the entire 4th quarter to promote boos
4. Ad for Gene Jones Jeans
5. Ad for summer "Jerry Jones Owner/GM fantasy camp" allowing youngsters to experience what it's like to be in Jerry's shoes. Fantasy camp activities include a) NDA's, attorney's, and how to leverage them to your advantage, b) How to get away with unwanted advances toward female employees and girls you meet in a bar, c) Nepotism: How to use it to your advantage, and d) How to deal with unwanted pregnancies from one night stands to become a father of the year candidate.
6. Instead of commercials between plays or quarters, play clips from our blowout loss to Green Bay at home
7. Ad for new patch to commemorate three decades of losing in the playoffs (when we actually mk it there)
8. Fake ad for new movie "Reign of Terror/The Jerry Jones Story: How to Destroy the Most Indestructible Sports Brand in America"
9. Fake giveaway where one lucky fan gets to throw softballs at the dunking booth with our beloved GM perched just above the water.
10. A split screen showing Jimmy on the left with caption "Architect of a 3x Super Bowl Championship Dynasty" while Jerry is on the right with the caption "30 Year Architect of chaos, losing, and playoff irrelevancy".
    Any more you can think of?

Coach from the sidelines wearing a tutu, cowboy boots and have a dozen linked sausages wrapped around his neck

Or....dressed up like Mr T with a Mohawk and 10 lbs of gold chains around his neck

 

[G2]

Get ejected from every game by tripping the refs.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

Everybody on the team/ staff / cheerleaders should show up to work the whole week with shades on.
Just to make a point about the sunlight on the stadium and JJ stupidity.

 

[conner01]

If actually do some things that help the future of the team. Play all the young guys so they get reps and experience. Gives you a real evaluation of them, but the most important thing they can do for the future of the team is keep losing. Shame Jerry is nice but adding talent is the real key and getting bad makes getting good easier
