He sat by and let Moore drive for 3 years.
I don't think he had a choice. If he wanted the job, he had to do this.

Even Parcells made a deal with Jerry to give Quincy and Hutch a shot when he probably knew they both sucked.

I know, and thus MM had no stroke.

kindly elaborate.
He may not have had enough stroke when he was hired to oust Moore, but he did after a few years. And then he obviously hired his own replacement.

yes, it took 3 years and not moving past the divisional round for Jerry to allow it.

It took him 10 years plus and a ton of 8-8 seasons for him to finally move on from Garrett. I'd call this progress.

Old age and losing will do that.

That is the way normal and sane organizations are run. We just aren't used to it here, so it's easy to blame Jerry for any hire.

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that McCarthy had the team win 10+ games in back to back years for the first time in forever, was the first coach to get them to the playoffs in back to back years in forever, won the first road playoff game in forever, did better than anyone expected after that first game when Dak was out for five games... and it's like everyone wants to hold a gun to his head ready (and in many cases eager) to pull the trigger at the first misstep?

I really don't understand it.

I mean, if you want to let your HC succeed, you don't force anything on him. Let him hire his guys ad if he sinks, he sinks. What you can't do is force Moore on him and then almost immediately handicap him by trading away his best offensive player for peanuts.
