All I see are a bunch of failures on that list. McCarthy and Payton failed to win multiple Super Bowls with hall of fame QB's. So how good are they? I think it's time for some new blood.

I would say McCarthy is at least 50/50 to be back (maybe more), and that is far better odds than the other names listed. If McCarthy gets fired part of the failure will likely be in the offense, which would take Kellen Moore out of the picture. Same might be said of Quinn, but the defense seems to be trending upward a little, and he's maybe the hotter commodity of the two coordinators for now. As for Sean Payton, I'm a long, long way from thinking he really wants to work for Jerry. I'm sure he doesn't need to.

That may be true…so Oz who’s on your list of “new blood” HCs?

Don't fool yourselves. Big Mike will be HC until his contract ends.
This is the same Owner/GM that kept Garrett around for 10 years.

so why did not the very same owner/GM stay with his boy wonder Garrett for a little while longer .. ?

Unless McC makes some "media can't stop talking" mistake during a game, he will be the HC in 23.

Let's say the team doesn't make the playoffs, aren't the two coordinators just as much to blame? Why hire them?

It is unknown as to whether Payton wants to coach but he passed up a rumored 20M a year from Miami. Do you really think Booger is going to even approach paying any HC that kind of coin?

McC is safe for the same reason Garrett was for 10 years, they are both HC in name only. Booger has to shoulder some of the blame because he wants the credit.

Booger, inadvertently, dropped the hint during a pc when he let it slip that he approves the game plans. Think all of the GM's do that? Think most of them even know how to do that? Before you answer that, 30 GM's work for owners. Do you think they want to be on the line for a HC's game plan if he is on the hot seat?

No, they hire the man and then let him go about building his staff and he's given the rope to pull himself up or hang himself. 30 GM's in the NFL are all about buying the ingredients, not getting in the kitchen where it is the hottest. There is only one owner that makes the HC announcements in the league. Not even Mike Brown does that.

So, if you consider Payton, Booger must pay him and stay out of his kitchen, think that will happen?

As far as hanging that playoff loss on McC, didn't Quinn know exactly what the Niners were coming to do? He didn't stop it, that was as much, if not more, on him than McC. And McC, shockingly, admitted in the post game to having no participation in the game plan or calling and this is a respected offensive coach in the league,

Bullet asks an interesting question to which I really only have one response. Does it really matter?
Yep , just another puppet of a different feather . As long as it’s a season that Jethro can scapegoat the disappointing results Mikey will return .

I don't see your point. He was talking about Jerry keeping McCarthy for the duration of his first contract. Garrett had 9 1/2 seasons and got contract extensions along the way. Not exactly the same thing

Greg Roman OC with Ravens
Eric Bieniemy OC with KC

Then bring in Joe Judge to be the OC here in Dallas. He's an OC assistant in NE.
I like both those guys. Although I keep wondering why Bienemy continues not being hired despite lots of prior success and multiple HC interviews.

Quick poll before we enter the 2022 season. It’s been fairly clear that Mike McCarthy will start this season with a warm seat. A non-playoff season or maybe even another “one and done” playoff appearance would likely end his time here.

So who’s our head coach next year? Will Big Mac save his hide or not?
Quinn or Mac
Payton is a pipe dream

And it won't be the same.
the dynamics has changed between from the committment to Garrett vs commitment to finishing out with McCarthy's era.

Perhaps because Jerry was so up close personal and familiar with Garrett, and Jerry envisioned and wanted so badly for Garrett to be his own Payton like offensive
genius, that along with 2016 HC of the year gave way for Jerry to have stayed with Garrett for so long.

Cowboys likely decided they don't want a long tenure and building period with another HC, and they wanted the HC that could give us the best chance
with hitting the ground running. And McCarthy had the SB resume, and reputed offensive mind.

But the Jones patience are running thin, and they want (demanding?) more quicker results.

Unfortunately, I believe it will be Kellen Moore. Much like JG, KM is being groomedby JJ to be HC

1st half of 2021, ..i strongly believed that .
2nd half of season as i hear interview criticism from Jerry himself, .. i clearly no longer think that.
Stock up,... .Stock down ..

"Groomed" denotes a certain level of competence that I do not believe is there.

I do not think Booger really grasps the role of the HC in establishing accountability, responsibility and culture within the locker room and team. His ego forces him to let everyone know who is in charge. Ego gratification is the driving force in his life. Everything feeds that need, even all the nepotism within the organization. That is not about family, it is all about him.

How can an owner groom a HC when he couldn't even learn to be the GM?

I get, and agree, that Jerry won't do the same thing with McCarthy he did with Garrett, but you're comment seemed to suggest that if Jerry were willing to keep McCarty through his first contract he would have been willing to give Garrett a 3rd contract.
