When MM get Fired, which type of HC do you want? OC/DC or retread?

[Cowboyny]

Just a matter of time in which MM gets fired, could be in-season or after the season is completed. What type of Head Coach do you hope the Cowboys hire as MM's replacement?

-Modern OC like Detroit's Ben Johnson, Kubiak from the Vikings, Slowik from the Texans
-Former HC with a DC background: many are from the Bellichek coaching tree, including himself: Bellicheck, Vrabel, Flores, Saban*
-College-Lincoln Riley, D. Sanders, etc.

Fired? Jerry Jones could simply let Mike McCarthy's contract expire, just as he did with Jason Garrett.

I do not think Jones would hire Lincoln Riley. Then again, I believe Riley's chances are better than Ben Johnson and Bill Belicheck's.

I would select Mike Vrabel's chances out of the available choices in the OP. I did not always think he could be a possibility but Vrabel is more of a confrontational-to-players type coach. He does not really project himself above team. Vrabel could be the type of head coach Jones would allow himself to work with.

ill be happy with a coach who is not a big fat dummy and who can get his team to show up for a playoff game and manage the clock better then a 10 year old on madden

my standard is not high!!!

You'll get Kellen Moore and you'll like it

It is futile to to discuss what WE want for coaches. It doesn't matter. Jerry will hire has beens and re-treads.

It's sad how low the bar has been set with this franchise.

I think having Ben Johnson as HC and Robert Saleh as DC would be a pretty nice combo to have. It would probably never happen with Jerry but I can dream.

OC to work with the QB.

We are tied to Dak for 2-3 more seasons, so might as well bring in a brilliant offensive guy who might be able to get more out of Dak. If we were starting fresh at QB, then I wouldn't be so tied to hiring an OC type.

My most serious answer….anyone selected by a previously hired GM who will actually be able to pick his own staff and be allowed to control the locker room without Jerry’s interference.

While we are in fantasy land my top choices are Brian Flores, who as a dime dropper Jerry won’t even allow in the building for an interview, or Mike Vrabel who Jerry has probably never heard of.

The actual choice is going to be someone who no one else would ever hire as a HC, so they will agree to Jerry’s meddling….like Rex Ryan.

I just can’t wait to see what a joke he makes of the Rooney Rule yet again. Maybe that one finally catches up to him.

You are a cruel individual.

IMO I still think Jerry's answer for 2025 is Bill B.
1. He wants to coach, but I don't think he's in high demand
2. He left NE on bad terms with Kraft. Jerry doesn't like Kraft
3. While old and possibly out of touch with the current crop of players, he is that "old school" coach that should at least get some respect his first year.
4. Jerry has admiration for Bill. Doubt he rolls with a young coach.
5. He was willing to give up some GM duties to stay in NE. He would probably let Jerry have input in player personnel to coach for the record/spite Kraft.


Who I would want is any of the three from your first list. Johnson being #1. If he can make Goff look good again, well.

McCarthy may never get fired. His contract won’t be renewed.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

One thing: Jerry will hire a coach that will not challenge him in any way and will do what he is told.

He's probably my favorite. Belichick might actually be, but I don't think that's going to happen for money and control reasons.

I thought he did a heck of a job at Tennessee and it was moronic for them to fire him.

 

[Cowboyny]

McCarthy may never get fired. His contract won’t be renewed.

What is the difference, he won't be coaching the team next season.

 

[KJJ]

What is the difference, he won't be coaching the team next season.

There is no difference but I think most fans would like to see him fired. It sends more of a message than letting him play out the season and not renewing his contract.

 

[zrinkill]

I hope Jerry coaches the team himself.

Kubiak from the Vikings, Slowik from the Texans
-Former HC with a DC background: many are from the Bellichek coaching tree, including himself: Bellicheck, Vrabel, Flores, Saban*

Any from this list... but Saban would be at the top

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Vrabel could be the type of head coach Jones would allow himself to work with.

He had issues working with the GM for the Titans.......lost a power struggle but do like him. Saban is my first choice......
