Ohhhhh shit

 

[Texas Ace]

I wouldn't. As much as I don't want Moore, I want Deion and the circus that would follow him even less.

He's getting by (?) in college on his rah rah bullshit, and the PRIMETIME persona because that's what kids today eat up like fucking mana from heaven. It certainly isn't because of his coaching chops. That shit would get old with NFL players before his first training camp was done. Sure, a few of the first and second year guys would eat it up. But the veterans? Riiiiight.

You think Jerry is bad now? The press coverage of the implosion of the Dallas Cowboys/Primetime circus would be 24/7. And Jerry would revel in it. All the while proclaiming 'Dadgum it. We're trying. It's hard to win in the NFL.'

Kellen Moore is a schmuck. But at least he's a football schmuck. And as much as we love to bash him, he has had some success. Coaching actual NFL players. I'd take him 10 times out of 10 over Deion.

All fair points and I get it.

But I can totally see Moore hovering around 8 or 9 wins each year and the Jones' letting him hang around and hang around the same way they did with Garrett and I want no part of that.

If Deion fails then it'll be spectacular failure and I can see us ending that era sooner than we would the Moore era.

 

[UncleMilti]

Jesus. Even on a TD play, it's a shitty pass from Darnold.

The clock has struck midnight on him. He looks like he should be wearing a Jets helmet right now.

He looks like a rookie back there flailing around under mediocre pressure. Then when the real pressure gets there he shits all over himself.

 

[bbgun]

he's seeing ghosts again

 

[data]

This is getting Dan Snyder bad - Steve Spurrier, Jim Zorn, Jay Gruden

 

[bbgun]

hmmm. maybe I should reconsider.

 

[UncleMilti]

You’d have to say the Rams have shut down the run game vs who should be doing it in the Vikings.

I think you've got it backwards here. Moore wouldn't get the Garrett treatment. Hell, he could have gave that to McCarthy by extending him last year and just letting him float along. At least he was winning games in the regular season, aside from this injury riddled year.

But I could see Deion getting the keys to the family yacht. Jerry has always loved Deion. Always bent over backwards for him, both in contract negations and in letting him run the show as a player, doing what he wanted. Even if Deion wasn't winning, he'd keep Jerry in the spotlight.

We're fucked either way.

Barring some unforseen miracle, we're about to enter the worst era of Cowboys football that I think will be even worse than what we dealt with with Garrett.

 

[Texas Ace]

Troy sounds stuffed up.

Probably getting over the flu like half the population right now.

 

[Texas Ace]

Uh oh.... If this is true, then it's just a matter of time before Deion is the coach.

Shula has epic hair

@boozeman @Cotton

I think we should rename that McCarthy gone thread to Cowboys coaching search or something like that.

It's time we have a thread to put all the coaching news in one spot.

 

[data]

Addison’s gotta be shaken up after that

 

[Genghis Khan]

"Per the NFL's Rooney Rule, teams must interview two external minority head coach candidates in their search."

Wait, really? I didn't realize it was 2 minority interviews and they had to be external.

 

[NoDak]

I'm not ready to go that far, but yeah. It could get ugly.

 

[Texas Ace]

Look.... If you're willing to pay the 8 million to get Deion then you damn well ought to pay 2 million more to get Belichick.

If they don't at least make that call then these assholes are even more braindead than I realized.

I guess this escaped me. Absurd.


"Other changes to the rule include requiring interviewing at least two external minority candidates for head coaching vacancies and one external minority candidate for coordinator positions. The Rooney Rule is also applicable to senior level front office positions and vacancies for the quarterbacks coach, a common pipeline for future head coaches."

I've never heard it applied to coordinators and QB coaches. That seems like it's not enforced at all. Or teams just claim the minority candidate was interviewed for head coach and coordinator before they pick the real head coach and hire the coordinator he wants.
