As much as I hate to say it - it feels like Mike McCarthy is working his way back next year is happening. I would prefer Ben Johnson or Mike Vrabel.

I voted None of the Above, but I would change to McCarthy after last night’s game if I could. I’m now expecting the Mike brothers back. And I don’t expect any change in offensive system or play calling because that would be uncomfortable to Dak. They’re yoked to Dak for at least the next 2-3 years.
First of all that's nonsense Prescott was rookie of the year in Garrett's offense ran it very well, then Kellen Moore came along and changed the offense enough that it was different I think you really can tell you how it was different because his career got affected by Kellen Moore's offense, there are a bunch of #1 to #3 ranked offenses during Moore, and Garrett's Daks lead offenses, then what happened in last year, first year in Mike's very different offense there wasn't a lot left from Garrett's offense in the West Coast Texas style offense, whether you believe it or not, it was different, and guess what he did he led the league in scoring? lowest INts ratio,

he did it at all three levels all three offensive coordinators all three coaches, he's had really the top five ranked offense of most of his career that he was healthy he still hasn't been part of a losing season where he's been healthy the entire year they started and finished the year. they took away prime Cooper and Gallup hardly any run game the last few years, and still Dak was a2nd team all pro and 2nd in MVP voting in his first year in a NEW offense.

That will not be in the equation of whether they get another coach or not because Dak would be uncomfortable, that's nonsense, absolutely garbage because you think Prescott can't change he can't learn a different offense he's already been in three different ones and by the way the NFL there's not a big variation from one offense to the other it's about the play calling and the design and the situational football adjustments in games this is all on the coaches but most of the routes being run most of the actual base part of most offenses are all the same in the NFL there wasn't a lot of difference it looks different because like we've seen the last five games you see a lot of different motion you see a lot of weird lineups with Turpin in the backfield with lamb using it as running backs they switch up just enough and tweak it but as far as the quarterback reading a defense and finding guys that are open it's all ....he route trees are not very different..​
It may be a big deal going from college if you didn't play in a prostyle offense back in the day into the NFL but now not so much because the NFL is adjusting to the new college quarterbacks but once you're a veteran in this league and a pro bowler like Prescott you can go to any team and be successful in any offense they're not different that's what you use practice and training camp and all these mini camps that's what you're doing you're learning the offense and the little nuances that are in a different offense but they're not many......​

Then why has Jerry talked about being “Dak friendly?” It’s the main reason Kellen was retained when McCarthy was hired. It was a continuation of the Linehan offense that Kellen was a protege of.

Is it because Dak can’t learn a totally different offense? Doubtful. But any wholesale offensive change brings with it a learning curve and risks that Jerry probably is not interested in taking on in year 10 of Dak.

Just look at Brady in Tampa. That offense was out of sync for the majority of the season. And, really, into the playoffs. And Dak ain’t no Brady. The TB defense was primarily responsible for their success.

I said that about Romo as well don't read in the nonsense you read in the media or the dumb things that Jerry says out loud... By the way it shouldn't seem like Prescott coming from a completely different offense in college that was set up for a mobile quarterback that was set up for completely different type of football he comes in his rookie year sets a record for the least amount of interceptions playing defenses he's never seen before in a place he's never played before with a group of players he's never played with they won 11 games in a row and by the way he did play well in the playoff game against Green Bay the defense lost that game don't act like he can't learn another NFL offense in one little offseason he can... You guys listen to too much stuff that said on the in the media that's also deception when they said you want to make it more friendly for the quarterback let's be simply running the damn football and running it effectively so you can use play action has nothing to do with the quarterback reading a defense and being able to figure out how to throw to different routes that has nothing to do with it romo friendly and Dak friendly meaning they wanted to run the ball more and the fact that Jerry didn't even bother doing that this offseason to fix the run game says otherwise he believed Prescott could do it on his own that's not very quarterback friendly at all...

I'm telling you what I've seen and playing high school football and the stuff I want it is not the same offenses Prescott's been in three different offenses ,I don't care what you say they changed they were not the same ,and like I said there's similarities in every offense because there's only so many schemes you can run in the NFL on all three phases there's nothing new in the NFL there's only the way you choose to call the plays, when you call the plays, in what situation a football is all about...​

the best offensive coordinators they're not using a different offense they're utilizing deception on how they're allowing the eyes of the other team to see something and they run something different out of it that's it most of the route trees, most of the offensive line calls, all that stuff is all the same, they just switch it up ,and tweak it enough to mess with the defense's eyes, that's it it's called eye candy but the real plays that are coming out of it the route trees, the running back calls, the offensive line calls, they sound different in the huddle but they're all the same in the end..

The differences between one offensive coordinator and the other are the way they become chess players and aggressive in the game to use deception to disguise the place they're gonna call because they're calling him in different situations at different times of the games and then they'll call the same play to line up and look the same but they'll have a different target instead of the quick out it becomes an out and up that's it they're not all differences you can keep saying there is and I'm telling you that getting another offensive coordinator it would not bother Prescott at all it does not need to be Prescott friendly he's already been in the league eight years going on 9 depending on what you taking he had three different offensive coordinators they were all different and again they weren't so different because none of them are bringing in a new one is not gonna change anything they'll get that all worked out in training camp this whole Brady thing maybe I had a sink because of completely different city a completely different field a completely different everything for Brady he didn't know his players.... It may have been uncomfortable for him but this is not the same thing Prescott still gonna be with lamb he's still gonna be with most of the offensive line that he knows all these lineman he knows Rico he knows most of the personnel on this team including the owner and the GM and what goes on in Dallas that's not gonna change he's not changing zip codes they're changing offensive coordinators and again it's not that much different from 1:00 to the other but the small nuances that gets all fixed and training can't that's exactly what camp is for that's why you see these guys not playing in preseason it's not necessary they take care of it in practice...

They get 50 times more reps in practice than they would playing 10 minutes of a preseason game everyone makes a big deal oh they don't play enough in preseason no they practice so much that it should be second nature by game one...

Jason Garret? Almost not even joking. After all, he's not old like a fossil yet. And he's had good experience as a HC and OC.

But, actually I think fatso is back (and maybe even deserves to be).

BULLET!
MM is not going anywhere. The team started showing grit where in the past, they would just fold and collect their checks.

Never false start
Never never whatever

My vote is that they'll bring him back pending him actually wanting to come back. I think Jerry wanted Belichick and didn't get him, so he'll want someone comfortable again. With all of the injuries, he thinks he can sell McCarthy and no other coach worth his salt would want to work in this circus.

Personally, I don't think it matters who the coach is if Jerry keeps running things the same.
That last line is the sad truth.

I'd prefer a new coach but idk who the FO would get, its not going to be a young up and comer, it could be some retread worse than McCarthy at this point. The Jones's are comfortable again.

Tell us WHY you voted the way you did….

I voted Big Mac. Not because I want him back. I just think that’s what’s going to happen unless Mac decides he doesn’t want to be here anymore. (If I was McCarthy, I would be done with Dallas and the Jones circus)

Whoever is coaching in 2025, unless there are major changes at the top of the organization, it won’t matter much.
Same here Bob, I didn't vote my wishes pro or con, just my guess.
My only thought beyond MM would be if Jerry already has someone in mind other than those on the list.

Outside of McCarthy, I seriously doubt that another successful HC will want to be governed by the incompetent Cowboys' management. There will be other teams that are more attractive. HCs who are educated as to how this FO operates will avoid them like the toxic curse that they are.

Kellen Moore......even though his play calling looked lousy for the most part, once Jalen Hurts was ruled out against Commanders. Davonta Smith drop overshadowed his play calling. He is our next Coach.

I should’ve waited until after the Bucs game to vote because looks like McCarthy is coming back if he wants to come back.

Jerry might want to extend McCarthy, but to a shorter term deal with no pay increase. That could cause McCarthy to look for other options. The way the team has played the last few weeks despite all the injuries with a backup QB may have improved his leverage some.

Contract expires after the season.
