Intrigued by Gruden. Vrabel with a good OC I would be good with too.
Gruden is so overrated. He took the Super Bowl roster Tony "Major" Dungee built (and made it to several NFC Championship games) and auto-piloted them to a SB championship in Barry Switzer style. He has since done zero in the NFL.

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.

Look at who is running the offense for the Eagles.

1st: These CLOWNS need to do an extensive search and stop with this hiring people they are comfortable with
2nd: Whoever that coach is( if Big Mike is not retained) must be allowed to hire his won staff and NOT forced to accept the coaches already here.
If the new coach wants to keep them then fine but not just plug a head coach in. If the new coach does not want "Bones" Fossel or Al Harris, fine.
3rd: Important: Look at the coaches that have succeed in Dallas. Landry, Johnson ( and to lesser Parcells). They are DISCIPLINARY coaches.
I do NOT want a coach that gets along ( a players coach) walking this sideline. Players today are divas. Soft. Don't want to talk. Come to Dallas
to be popular. Get endorsements. Winning is NOT their primary reason to play in Dallas.
Finally: Will not happen because the GM will not allow it. Players run to him. The culture has been so sour for 30 years. Why Johnson and Parcells
had to get out of here. Jerry's PRIDE has destroyed his toy ( on the field) but a huge success ( off the field )

They'll hire someone that is relatively cheap and happy to be a head coach. Someone that won't demand a lot of things from the Jones boys. So rule out Mike Vrabel and Ben Johnson. Maybe Kliff Kingsbury, Kellen Moore, or stay with MM.

I like Glenn but I don't see it happening. Would prefer a defensive guy, one who commands respect.

If we're talking coaches in Jerry's network amd wheelhouse, I like Wade's son, Wes, a complete unknown, but who's got lots of experience in the league and has worked with some good coaches.

At the end of the day the new HC, if not MM, will be someone with whom Jerry is comfortable and can control; someone who won’t steal Jerry’s thunder and eclipse him as the face of the Cowboys….these qualifications do not provide a large pool of candidates.

Slavery? Ok that made me laugh out loud.
What do you call tricking people into doing something for longer than they need to when money and lifestyle is on the line for the other person?

Trickery?

Nah...tricking people out of money is slavery...and if they are on to the scam they cant get a good job and are poor....thats a slavery scheme. But lie to beings that you think are beneath you

I'll remind you that they are using handsomely (compared to regular working people) AND can quit and go work for other teams or change jobs/professions whenever they like. Maybe you need to look up the actual definition of slavery Adrian Peterson.

Your using weak, played out excuses to defend Slavery.

How would you like it if I said I hope I can imprison and enslave the girl in your avatar?

See?

You are confused. And it sucks for that girl in that avatar. Your not setting good examples.

I literally just obliterated your whole stance with the picture example. I murdered you. You are not a threat.

You wont meet me in person to discuss this, just like everyone on this board, because you are all capitalist that are contradictory for money. You use weak *** avatars of varying opinions to distract.

I defeated you. I hope others enslave your girl though.

See how stupid that military mentality is when use against you? You fool.

You need Government to make you strong. So...you join a gang against your best interest. Soldiers are played.

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.
Oh, I see. An argument based on "well, Dan Campbell coulda done it earlier." Yes, but we don't know if that true. Here is a little secret -- just because you say so, doesn't mean it is correct.

DC put in 11 years as an assistant. He wanted to go into coaching and was willing to start as a coaching intern. All of his former coaches knew that he could be great -- just look at the guys who brought him in -- he played for them.

Contrast this to a guy like Jason Witten -- McCarthy made very clear that if Witten wanted to coach for the team, he needed to put in the time and learn the roles. Star players don't want to go to the back of the line. Contrast that with a guy like Kellen Moore -- Moore knew he wasn't good enough to start in the NFL - he wasn't giving up that NFL salary for as long as he could stay in the league but he always wanted to coach. The year he was out for the season, he joined the coaching staff in an unofficial capacity, doing the work of what is usually called a Quality Control Assistant -- putting together film for the position coaches -- probably having to show at least one of the older coaches how to attach their laptop to the projector. If you want to coach, you do the work. If you don't really want it, you just rely on your name to get jobs.

Anybody but McCarthy......Even if that means Kellen Moore.
I’m warming up to Moore. Let’s be honest, Jerry is not gonna go out and get a young, innovative coach. But because of his history with Moore he would consider him I think. It’s not like anyone we’d really want has a shot. My guess is he keeps MM or looks at Moore, maybe some other old washed up guy who will work cheap. The real candidates won’t be on his short list

You're pro- milking people...even if you know it's not in their best interest...kudos.

You're pushing an agenda that benefits the top of the pyramid...kudos.

oh...work history...let's attack that...

I would rather hire a young guy from a non-football family that has earned his stripes over a guy that grew up in a football family that has a few years experience...

There is no right or wrong answer. I'm not eating your 'experience' lie

MM almost certainly comes back. You may buy into ‘next man up should be able to get it done’, but not with the injuries we were plagued with. Setting aside post-season play, MM can make a good case for getting another year.
