It doesn't make sense for a person to do a one year experiment with this team, and possibly be let go with a new coach, please give your thoughts
Why hire a DC from the outside when MM contract isn't extended?

Grab a guy like Vrabel who could take over has HC in 2025? Not saying that's the best way to do it, but that seems like a Jerry type of move.

Because they will have the leg up fir the next head coach spot. McCarthy could get axed mid season.

This.
Jerry doesnt realize the situation hes put this team in by not firing McCarthy, confirming him, and not extending him. Its a no win situation.

That was my first thought. However a guy like Vrabel might see it as a chance to be the coach in waiting, knowing MM is a lame duck.

If it's an established coach who will be in the mix for 2025 openings then they don't need to play this game. If McCarthy is fired then those someone like Vrabel will garner interest from Jerry no matter what so might as well just wait it out and see what other options there are a year from now instead of wasting time as a DC for a season. There might actually be better options than the Cowboys

You mean possibly take over as HC (of the Dallas Cowboys!) when MM leaves next year?

In Jerry fashion, he could force the coordinator on the next coach...like he does everytime. You know "structural advantage". of neutering a head ciach

I know that’s the conventional wisdom. I tend to not agree with it.
When people are forced to perform or be replaced they either rise to the top, or wilt under pressure.
I don’t think that it’s any surprise that one of Dak’s better years was when he was “betting on himself” to get a huge contract.
Every person should be placed in a perform or be replaced situation. MM being in a one year deal is different than a new head coach coming in on a one year deal. This is already MM’s team.
It’s different for a DC because they might be auditioning as the Cowboys head coach literally next year. A one year deal is not a bad gig for a DC especially if Jerry wants to open up the checkbook.

agree, I prefer a internal hire.
Make way for a totally new staff in 2025 if we have another failed season.

It’s gotta be someone that doesn’t mind having a potential one and done and poor showing on their resume.
It’s very unlikely they are willing or able to acquire the personnel to fix this run defense problem on one off season….as in…one draft.

Players and coaches are different things.
A coach that is coaching with no new deal is a lot different than a player betting on himself. Thats added pressure a coach doesnt need when trying to control 53 animals.
It tells the players they have no trust in the coach as well.
