Mike mccarthy hoodwinked cowboys into the job

[bluejerseyjinx]

Honestly I knew they were going to have trouble running the ball this year. I have been saying since the “get rid of Zeke” talk started that Pollard is not the guy. Not full time anyways. He’s never been a lead back in his life until this year. He wasn’t a lead back at Memphis and from what I’ve read he wasn’t a lead back in HS.

That falls squarely on Jerry and McClay for not finding and drafting another RB to compliment Pollard like Zeke did. I believe McCarthy started the season wanting to be a power running team but he didn’t have the personnel.

As for McCarthy obvious he’s been “as advertised”. Packer fans told us what to expect and he’s been pretty much that. Although he hasn’t been conservative like he was in Green Bay. It’s time for him to go.

The Question is what are the Cowboys options? Do they go the coordinator route? Do they promote from within? Do they look to the college ranks? A retread? What are some realistic names that could be a possibility?

You and I can come up with all kinds of really good replacements. The real question once again after 28 years, will Jerry set his ego aside just once, and do the right thing? We need the best football minds, not a marketing genius that only cares about money, keeping his fan base in check while he fills his suite with hookers on home games while catering to the George Bush and Chris Christie's of the world.

I'll say Cowboys get it together in the playoffs and lose in conference finals or Superbowl. They can't just lose in the 1st and 2nd rounds every 10-12 W season until the end of time. If you have that many 10-12 win teams you should make a CF by accident sometimes like when Norv's Chargers got in or the Colts in the Deflategate year. The Eagles are the NFC East team that loses in their 1st playoff game this year.

I wish I was as optimistic as you. With the way they have performed on the road this year I just don’t see it. Even if they beat the Bucs (or Falcons) in round 1 I don’t see them winning 3 road playoff games to get to the Super Bowl. I. They’re not getting past the 2nd round (again).

I think we all know the answer to that. I could see him giving the allusion in the beginning that he is willing to relinquish some power but we all know Jerry can’t help himself. He’s going to **** it up by getting too involved some way.

With that said I think my first choice is Jim Harbaugh. He has a track record of turning around franchises within a couple of seasons. He’s also good with QB’s. I’m not certain he wants to leave Michigan though.

Having to win b2b road games sounds daunting, but they have a more complete team than the Lions with their defense causing havoc on Goff, Detroit getting a nice easy 3-6 or 2-7 1st round against the Seahawks and then losing Round 2 at home to end feel good season with heads held high sounds about right.

I think he is going to leave. Just a feeling though. If he doesn't come here Harbaugh most likely goes to the Chargers. Not only for the drama of it all, but the ratings, etc., and the marketing opportunity for Jerry will be hard to pass up. Especially if Michigan wins the whole shabang in a week or so.

[El Turco]

Harbaugh is going to leave Michigan, especially with so many prime spots opening where he can have final decisions on personnel. Of course Dallas isnt one of those places lol

[Mr B]

If by some miracle Mike McCarthy were fired and Harbaugh agreed to take over what are the chances Harbaugh picks his boy JJ McCarthy in round 1?

[El Turco]

Higher than most would think. Harbaugh has no problem with ripping out the band aid and putting in a young guy instead of keep on going with old failures.

[bluejerseyjinx]

He doesn't get any help from Nolan. Starting to miss Maranelli.

Y’all suck no matter whose there... ain’t been to the SB since how long now?

A quarter-century. Must feel like a lifetime.

Mike McCarthy is no better than Jason Garrett. Cowboy fans are now just starting to figure this out (or they will eventually lol). Still...they'll beat up those other teams in that division. Yet continue to struggle against good teams.

And that is exactly what has been going on and happened since you made this post 3 years ago. That was about the same time I said the Cowboys should move on from Dak and that he wasn't the guy. Nothing to look forward to next season. Jerry is bringing back both Dak and McCarthy. Another failed and wasted season coming up. Can't imagine how Mike hoodwinked himself into another season. This is so wrong.

[bluejerseyjinx]

Cowboys should fire him.. he hoodwinked them by saying he studied analytics lol

[bluejerseyjinx]

McCarthy, like Dak is betting on himself this season. Does anyone think McCarthy will save the Cowboys and his job this season? Think he will hood wink Jerry and Cowboy nation again?

[Cactus Jack]

They should've hired Quinn as his replacement.

That might have been the worst job by a DC in a very long time In Dallas.

Bottom line, Jerry is responsible for all coaching hires since he run Jimmy Johnson out of town. By doing that he cost the Cowboys at least 2 more Super Bowl chips and things have regressed since then. A 29 year drought is all the evidence we need for his wonderful record of GM since 2002. Don't forget we almost moved up to take Paxton Lynch and when that didn't work out he wanted to draft junkie Johnny Manziel. So we ended up with Dumb Dak Prescott who reads defenses worse than Ray Charles. Its time Cowboy fans put Jerry on notice after all these years. The failures are all there in plain black and white. Problem is I don't have faith in Stephen either. The team needs to be sold but I'm not sure that will ever happen in the remaining years I have left.

You shouldn’t have more faith in Stephen. Seeing as he is more in charge then Jerry.
Jerry has very little to do with the cowboys. He does token interviews and pretends to be involved but he really isn’t.

Yea Stephen has really been the one calling the shots for a couple of years now. Jerry is still the face of the franchise and does still have final say however Stephen is behind the wheel. The one good thing Stephen has done is keep Will McClay. If it wasn’t for McClay the Cowboys would be a dumpster fire of a franchise. Because of him they at least have elite talent coming in on a regular basis.

Well it’s true.
Stephen handles the contracts. Will does the draft and other GM duties.
Jerry just promotes the team and sits there.
Like you said. There’s a reason Manziel wasn’t a cowboy. Jerry doesn’t call the shots.
