I don't know what his angle is exactly, just keeping the peace in hopes that things go somewhat well this year. I think he actually likes coaching in Dallas so that's probably why he's playing nice.
Like I said the other day, I don't why he wouldn't stand his ground more in his final year under contract unless it's because he actually wants to stay in Dallas as you suggested.
This is the circus like shit that goes on in Dallas that will never allow a coach to turn this place around. And I'm not trying to make a big deal of this one incident. You know that's just a drop in the bucket of the many circus like things that surround these players in Dallas.
No matter how this season turns out, I think he's done enough to land another job elsewhere. There are recycled coaches in this league with far worse resumes than McCarthy.
Took him awhile to get the Dallas job after winning a Superbowl and great success with the Packers. The NFL is weird. Most teams want the hot new coach. Hell Bill Belichick didn't get a job offer last offseason. One of the greatest coaches in NFL history and a very well respected dude. I'm not saying McCarthy would never coach again. But I don't think getting another head coaching gig is going to be that easy for him if this team falls apart.
You're right. The crews don't matter anymore. It's not the officials fault our undisciplined OL/DL false start and line up offsides 5 or 6 times a game.
100% true. At least control the fucking penalties that you can control. And those are easy. Didn't we have a 12 men on the field penalty too? Like FFS, get your shit together.
I think the Belichick thing was mostly due to his cranky personality and how awful the Patriots looked without Brady. I believe he'd have been employable with one of those dings against him, but not both.
And the trend seems to be that the first drive of the game has become a penalty shit show. Hard to get off to a quick start when you're trying to dig yourself out of a 1st and 20 hole on the opening drive.
Well penalties prevent you from running the ball, shitty running prevents you from running the ball (2nd and 9 isn't a run down and despite the bone head call 1st and 20 draws to Zeke are absolute shit), if you want to run the ball, be more effective at it.
I think they'd give him the benefit of the doubt for working for the Jones', period.
I wonder if Jones pays his coaches on the cheap too.
Jerry is cheap when it comes to anything Cowboys related. It's actually become really sad. He only cares to spend enough money to keep the money training rolling. His priorities are really about enjoying life in other ways.
It's even more sad when he tries to joke about it.
Probably so.
Yeah, a good portion are probably just greedy cunts that don't care about winning as long as the money keeps coming in.
