Go look at the schedule they beat to reach the playoffs with Mac Jones, only to get their doors blown off. Then look at Jones since then. BB is such a genius he followed up Jones rookie year by making a DC and special teams coach his co-offensive coordinators. How did that work out?

BB is a dinosaur of a coach. His team had no speed at skill positions, and he used the 2023 draft to take 3 offensive linemen, a punter, and a kicker. He's no genius. He's not saving this, or any other, franchise. His time has passed. Stop looking for warm bodies in graveyards.
Mac Jones is awful we all know that making the fact he went to the playoffs with him more impressive. What about the 11 wins he had with cassell? I admit bills getting lazy on the gm side but he can still coach.

Mac Jones played very well as a rookie. BB screwed up in year 2 with no OC. How do you do that to a young QB? When Mac Jones reached outside of the organization for help, BB lost his mind and wanted to trade him.

Kraft likes Jones, this was the main reason for BB departure. It will be very telling if Kraft drafts a QB, Marvin Harrison Jr or trades back.

I also find it interesting that Kraft has decided to wait until after the draft to hire a GM.

Bill is going to Michigan. Tom Brady has one year left on his college career and he will be joining Bill to win the college Super Bowl next year. Book it.

Brady has gotten his eligibility back after being out of the NFL for a year. Go Michigan.

But that is how Dallas operates. I know they have enough money but they don't spend it on coaches or FAs. So its got to count for something.
players come out of the cap money, coaches out of owners wallet , so there is a big difference between them.
Jones boys are also cheap with cap money and FA's , as they are just tightwads in all areas, except when signing a star player they want.

Yup.....it's "Power" that they refuse to relinquish...not cash
well it is cash that comes out of their wallet, not the cap money lol.
Standard pay for HC is around 5-10 mil a year , bill is asking for 20 mil a year

I think a good way to judge coaches is on a scale. If the average coach gives you a 50 percent chance to win, Bill might give you a 54% and a bad coach might give you 46%. The 8% difference from bottom to top is pretty big, but the 4 % from average to top is not that big

Teams win because of talent, schedule, and random referee calls.

I think a large part of brady and belichicks success came from the large amount of time they were in one of the worst divisions in the league. Dolphins, Jets, and Bills were horrible for a long time. A good qb and coach can do a lot with a free chance for 6 wins a year, a 1st round bye, and home field advantage.

How’s it been working for Jerry the last 29 years?
I get all the negatives on BB, still the GOAT.
Should give it a try all I am saying before he expires, but I know he wont
yes give it a try lol, kick the tires see how he does, put demands on him , like win a div round game in first year !!!!!!!!!!!!!
If he can do that he would surpass all dallas coaches for the last 28 years !!
I guarantee it would have been such a nice change, it could have been great , or he could be a bust, but way more fun than bringing mike and his gang
back for another year.
Jerry says they are close to going to SB, but any team that loses in WC round is not close, they have a ways to go.
Even TB won in the WC round, then got knocked out by SF who is in the SB, and may win it!

I dont agree,could be that div was so bad was because pats won all the div games most of the time?
Coaches play a huge part in whether they are winners or not, esp the playoffs.

If pats got in due to weak div only they would not be able to beat the good teams, (2) that they would have to play and beat to get to SB.
Being top seed helps, but you still have to beat those 2 teams who are good, and you have to have a team good enough to do that,
and then also win the SB.

So what you are saying makes no sense.

I guess the billionaires are all tightwads with the cash lol . It explains why the jones boys were not interested. They would have to pay 20 + 6 for mikes last year.

You get what you pay for. And Jerry who said money was no problem to win another SB, but I guess it is.


Then there is the full power thing, they would not have any say in draft, FA, etc.

The recent record is easily explained, Brady left because he knew the talent had all left, and drafting in lower rounds EVERY year adds up.

Since brady left Bill had the team with no talent and had to make do with a lower round QB. Hard for any coach to win with that.

It is a shame as it would have been interesting to see what Bill could have done with the current cowboys players.
There would not have been a rebuild, but just some adjustments.
One thing for sure cowboys would have been prepared to play games, and not just show up to play with a stupid game plan.
Our defense would take out of the game the other teams best player.
Dak would have been good enough to win, as BB won a SB when brady was just a bus driver who didnt make mistakes.

The jones boys passed up a golden opportunity, and so have the other teams.
Also bill wanted the cowboys job, so may have given in on the gm and full power thing. But jones boys saw that 20 mil tag and blew him off .
Too expensive for ol jerry lol he couldnt afford Bill is bottom line.
I agree with what you are saying,..but just think, BB comes in, they go to the NFCCG, or heavens the SB and WIN.....Jerry could not live with himself and everyone would know it was BB, NOT Jerry, as the one who got them their 6th. Jerry's big ego would never be able to deal with this....far worse than when Jimmy was here, because he has wasted three decades wanting to win and have the credit. Another banner hanging on the rafters that does not have his name on it.

First of all there wasn’t an opening in Dallas.

As far as most of the openings Bill wasn’t a long term solution. He’s basically after 15 more wins to pass Shula for all time .
techically there wasnt, so you are right, but there was a opening for jerry to fire mike if he hired bill.
you dont know what bill wants, he has been a coach all his life, I dont think he is ready to retire any time soon.
I think he wants to win 1 or 2 SB's without brady, most wins is trivial record.

I think he saw dallas as a team he could get to SB rather quickly, maybe the first year, and that is what jerry says he wants,.
but apparently jerry is just lying, what he wants and has is a coach and team, who is close in his mind and does the 12-5 and cant get past the div round.

The real reason is Bill is 71 years old. He also wants 100% control of everything.

Delusional. If hiring Belichick would guarantee a Super Bowl, owners would be lining up to hire him. Every single one of them wants to win. The issue with Belichick is he's in his 70's. Coaching takes a lot of energy, and he's going to be a short-timer if he gets hired. Owners don't want to hire a short-timer with the energy of a septuagenarian.
so you dont like bill lol.
you dont know how much energy he has or would have if he became HC of the cowboys.
As for as the other owners, many of them already have new HC,and they are much cheaper than bill.
HC salary comes out of owners wallet not the cap, and many owners are tightwads, and jerry is the king of tightwads, so is his boy.

Teams that should have been interested in bill, are teams that just let their current HC go, or were about to soon.
And only those with a good team would go for bill, if they need a total rebuild, then a younger HC might be better.

So what you are saying makes no sense.
I am not denying bill or the patriots were not great teams. I am saying that for a good part of bradys career they had a high percentage chance of getting into the playoffs, a bye, and home field advantage, where as the cowboys with romo had a lower chance during that time due to the competition in the east. It is not a comparison of skill or a complaint, it is a comparison of schedule strength and the playoff bracket. I am sure there were teams that had the ability and design that would have given them a high percentage chance to beat the patriots, that due to their division, were kept out of the playoffs.

An example would be, if the packers, 49ers, eagles, and lions were in the same division, it would be a different looking year for the cowboys. If the cowboys had 2 more teams like the Commanders in their division, they would have had a higher chance of getting that bye in week 1.

The coaches do play a part during the week and gameday. What I was trying to get over is that belichick is not some other wordly abnormal talent. There are 32 good head coaches in the nfl. They all make winning calls and dumb calls. If 50 percent is average out of the 32 hc's, belicheck might be at 54% and Mccarthy is at 52%. I personally believe their division was more of a factor in the patriots becoming a dynasty than the 2 % difference in coaching from the other team

I dont think coaching in the nfl is a range from 0 percent to a 100, where some coaches are at 8 % and some at 98%. Like i said, i think it is more like 46 to 54
