I know it’s not draft related, but this is the only place on the forum to have a rational discussion about football

I want an innovative offensive mind at HC because I think there are plenty of very good D Coordinators available.

The obvious choice is Ben Johnson, but he’s going to have his choice of whatever job he wants and I don’t think Dallas will be near the top of his list.

My top 2 choices after Johnson are Liam Coen and Wes Phillips.

Get away from the big names and retreads and go find the next great coach.
Any YES man will do as the true HC has and always will be JJ....................

Yeah I don’t listen to Broaddus much for a reason

Jason Witten as HC is ridiculous to start with. And Phillips already has the OC title in Minnesota. Don’t think there’s a scenario where he could/would come to Dallas on a lateral move.
Witten, who’s never coached above a private school high school, would be the epitome of ludicrous. Of course, ludicrous is a Jones clan specialty so, who knows.

So...I dont want to hate on your post too much...as this board doesnt like posters asking tough questions...

But can you tell me EXACTLY what skills YOU THINK are so important for an ex-player like Campbell or Witten...that he needs to go earn his stripes for 8 years first?

The World hates corner cutters that are right, and will shame them and attack them because its not in the Worlds best interest for someone to be good so quick...the World is a slave driver and wants you to work for it...even if you already have it...

I think Campbell has a pretty simple approach...one that even high schooler and college players can agree with. Why does Witten have to earn stripes if he has the attitude like Campbell...unless this all an elaborate scam to enslave people.

Why should someone with similar leader style as Campbell have to earn his stripes if this is not about extracting energy and ripping people off and making them work as long as possible?

I think a HC with similar personality and decent understanding of football as Campbell can lead a team without 20 years of work history. But, that goes against slavery and creating an illusion that you should 'earn your stripes' for 8 years.

Its a labor scam.

Your best reply and predictable reply is to attack this ideology

At first I thought u were nuts but I now agree 100% with your thoughts here. Experience is an age old excuse for the dead wood Of society. Just look at our Gov, everyone crying about experience. Experience is Not necessary to do a kick azz job, it’s been proven over and over again. Witten is not the answer though imo.

This whole board wants to paint me as crazy...its a sad living.

to be honest...its hard to tell if you are joking or not, which is by design to try and flex on me...but its childish if its a flex...Im not turned on by scheming smarts...I think scheming smarts are bad for existence and anti-social

not ragging on being smart...just think being smart becomes anti-social at a point....and thats fact. Pursuit of numbers causes 'beings' to do things that are anti-social and contradictory to how they would like to be treated.

They should just go scorched earth, and make ESPN and the media spend every moment talking about them. Deion Sanders as HC. Kliff Kingsbury or Jason Witten as OC. Michael Irvin as WR coach and Assistant Coach. Lovie Smith or Robert Saleh as DC.

I am joking, but if somehow they got Ben Johnson as HC then I would be stoked.

More than likely they are keeping MM and Zimmer for one more year.

Surprise pick?
Tony Romo
I think Romo is smart, I think he is capable(assuming his family situation is healthy for him to coach)

But...man...

This board would turn to trash because of it.

Romo would do what every hater on this board has proposed, and if he fails....all those haters would not be supporting him...sad really.

I think Romo has the smarts and is a gunslinger this board wants, just think this board would turn on him quick even if he did what they had been screaming for.

Romo isnt leaving a plush job for a trash job unless he is 200% into it or Jerry writes a bad check for someone that doesnt care, that could be a 1 year and then fire. Romo would have to be so so so into for me...and I dont think he has that personality at this stage in his life(especially with golf). Romo is good at things and smart. He isnt taking a Cowboy job unless he is hard up for money...or bored and doesnt care if he fails.

Does it really make a difference with Jerry?

Dabo Swinney, current HC for Clemson.
Grandad. College coaches don't work in the NFL. Maybe in a few years when they start navigating NIL and stuff. But these coaches have to deal with players making millions of dollars ... that college stuff does not work with grown men with large contracts

Yes. Romo is smart

No coaching experience, but why not?

If folks want to coach, they need to work through the system. Be a position coach for a bit, move up to coordinator. There is more work than just being a guy who played for the team involved in this.

In most cases its beneficial.

I dont agree with you whole heartedly...

My opinion, even though I dont care for the guy, is Dan Campbell would have been successful early if he was given keys. He didnt need the stripes earning.

Again, Im skeptical if the guy is a good guy, but he seems to keep it simple and play with conviction(emotion when talking)...and it seems to work. It helps that he is large and intimidating too.

Not to discredit Mike McDaniels(Miami HC who looks like a guy that would sup up hondas and race them), but in a sport like this, I think guys gravitate towards indimidating, blue-collar, 1-ply toilet paper guys like Campbell. He is the common man's, man too.

Again, the guy has turned me off with some of his antics, but Campbell hits every interview out of the park as a guy who men would surround. If Witten is anything like this...it could be worth a shot. Again...I saw him razing up Carpenter one time and it looker very good 'Coach'-like behavior.

It has nothing to do with “paying your dues.” It has to do with experience and a world of difference between leading 14-18 year old student athletes and grown men. There’s a reason an Ensign or 1st Lieutenant isn’t jumped directly to Admiral.

A good example is Mike Singletary. If memory serves me, he had no prior experience when hired as the 49ers HC. And he flamed out in short order.

Vrabel is still my favorite semi-realistic candidate. I don't think Ben Johnson is realistic. And we don't know how he'd do as a HC anyway - plenty of whiz kid OCs have failed as HCs.
