I have a real problem with hiring a lame duck coach. Who the heck is going to listen to a coach who has a history of being soft if they know his replacement is already on the roster? What million dollar baby is going to come in and listen to a coach who makes less then he does and who's contract is shorter then his is?
That's a stupid move IMO.
ABQCOWBOY, you are a mother****ing genius, do you know that? If I had a multi-million dollar organization, I'd put you in charge of it.
If you want Garrett to be your coach, Mr. Jones, then make him your coach. If you want Singletary to be your coach, make him your coach. I remember the last time you tried to stash a former player on your staff and "develop" him as a coach. How many superbowls has Wade Wilson won so far?
The only coach who might be able to pull off the whole 'interim' tag would be Reeves. He'd still have the problems described by ABQCOWBOY, but he'd probably be better at dealing with them.
I'm a big fan of Norv, but hiring him tells me 2 things: a) you don't trust Garrett and Romo to make the offense work, and b) you want to run your drafts and free agency without a lot of flak from your coach. I don't particularly want to hear either of those messages from the front office.
When its all said and done, I wouldn't be surprised to see Bum's son offered the job. And then you let him pick his DC. Like someone said, he's the least unqualified candidate.
