Why would any legitimate candidate want to come here and be DC?

McCarthy is on his last year. Dak is on his last year ( but im sure he gets an extension this off-season).

If the team doesn't advance deep into the playoffs, the head coach is gone, maybe the QB too. Unless the new DC feels like he could be the next head coach, why come here? If this team doesn't make a Superbowl run, the head coach is gone as well as the coordinators

Because guys like Staley and Vrabel can boost their resume instead of sitting out a year

...we will use the Flex chimichanga blitz on our foes.
I like it. At least will stop the run.
Hey maybe he uses Parsons the right way

We don’t have the brightest of fans, but Zimmer is a good defensive coach. If I remember correctly it was BP who did think very highly of him. Guys like playing for him.
using CZ logic, does not make him a cupcake and the player will take advantage of him?

So ,serious question:
What length of contract is discussed when there is a very good chance that
MM gets replaced next year, and a new HC comes in and wants his own staff?

true, Rivera will be the wrong guy, if it's Harris, he's the wrong one, Vrabel wrong guy, etc
Vrabel would be a great hire but they won't do it.
He would bring toughness to a soft defense.
I heard he was leaning towards sitting out a year.

Harris is probably another year away from the DC position but I'd be okay with the gamble. Thing is, he's probably
leaving with DQ.

Riviera will be a big mistake. I've posted plenty about
what I think of him. I'm hoping someone stops this
from happening.

Exactly. The Cowboys are stocked with talent on defense... like half your unit is Pro Bowl level players. They are the kind of guys who can make any scheme look good.

You call any old plays with them, and they'll get a bunch of sacks and picks. And even if the Cowboys 2024 season goes down in flames... again... you can tell owners that you did your job during your next HC interview.

Trade Tit for Tat, and I would argue Rivera is the better option
Riverboat Ron needs to Big beefy dudes in middle to run his Defense + a Rangy Middle LB, we have a 300lb Mazi and a 280lb 3T in Odigi all the rest are leaving in FA for now. Unless we resign Hankins but still need backups / Starters.

Well 1 is a promotion the other a demotion. I guess its more about who the better defensive coordinator is vs head coach.

For head coaching record, their .500 head coaches.

Dan Quinn: 43-42
Ron Riveria: 102-103
Sounds like good ol' 8 & 8 Garret. :thumbdown:

The only way this makes sense is that Rivera is the type to be super pliable to meddlesome owners. He made it 4 years under Dan the Man Snyder.

At this point, he'd be lucky just to get a playcalling job anywhere in the NFL. If Jerry gives him one, he'll politely bow and do absolutely nothing to rock the boat.

Fisher is no more of an insider than I am. Heck, he’s probably taking a wild guess based off something he read here. Probably means the opposite, and Ron is not on the Cowboys’ radar period.
