I wouldn’t go anywhere with Dan Quinn. He’s had 3 years to improve stopping the run. His defense is actually worse than ever.

If Jerry lets only one go, who do you think it should be?

My pick: Mike McCarthy. For the third straight year, we were outcoached.

To hear Shannon Sharpe explain it so eloquently and knowledgably, the Cowboys inserted NO wrinkles into their offensive plays. The Packers studied film and knew all our tendencies and knew our plays better than we did. This is UNACCEPTABLE!

We've given McCarthy three years to take us farther than we've been in years. Not only has he failed, he failed miserably. The better coaches are able to decipher our offense and stuff it.

I don't see anything changing. 12-5 and 1 and done.
McCarthy needs to go.

“I’ll go. Don’t worry! I’m not going to flip out! Who is coming with me? I’m taking the goldfish. We started here so I’m taking Flipper here. So, who is coming with me and Flipper here? This is really embarrassing. Dorothy Boyd…thank you! I’ll see you all again! (In another thread)”

As much as I want to say Dak, it's on McCarthy for not having the team mentally prepared. Quinn will leave anyway so that would get rid of two problems.
Regardless of my disdain for Dak, we have no reasonable replacement options short-term so he stays.

If I could only choose one it would be Quinn, but that comes with a couple of caveats. Al Harris gets promoted to DC, and the team decides to ride out one more year with MM and Dak. No extension for Dak. And when we get the same predictable results with MM and Dak we can move on from both.

McCarthy. The whole team was unprepared. McCarthy isn't an OC. He's the HEAD coach. You're responsible for how the whole product looks on field. You could almost tell ahead of time that a loss is coming. If a team had a semblence of physicality, we were cooked. The whole team fell apart.

You guys with the outcoached stuff are crazy. Our players didn't even want to be there. What is the world are the coaches supposed to do when the team would rather be home or at a Louis Vuitton convention.
The coach's job is to make sure his team is ready. If your team is ready to quit before the playoffs and you don't know this or address this, you don't need to be the coach.

Quinn has to go. The defense was destroyed yesterday and it is Quinn's philosophy that was taken apart.

I would say Dak next but that situation is complicated by his contract and the salary cap. I don't want to see a rebuild and suffer through losing season the next 5 years. I am tool old for that again. So I go back to what I said last year. Build a team that can run the football, and stop the run. With out DBs we can also shut downt he pass, but we need bigger stronger players up front. We need real LBs not 200 lb safeties trying to defeat 320 lb blockers.
