Mike Nolan Fired

I like the idea of going after one of the failed HCs, either Quinn or Patricia.

No way on Patricia. His players hated him.

Good, there is no question that the D-line play was a big part of the problem in our ability to stop the run. Which I could excuse if we did it for the sake of having a killer pass rush. Which we didn't seem to have either. What we were doing upfront defensively was just so disorganized and out of sorts. When guys aren't even maintaining gap responsibilities is when you get gashed.

I'm just glad to see the defensive staff held accountable for the worst run defense I think I have ever seen in Dallas. And don't get me wrong, talent was part of it. But a bunch of average joes who at least stick to their responsibilities would have been better than this shit.

Good cop bad cop?

I do think we need a bit of a hardass defensive coach. We all know McCarthy isn't going to be the disciplinarian.

Or Gus Bradley. Not a good HC. But has tough, attacking defenses as a coordinator.

 

[NoDak]

Thank God.

Never figured you'd refer to Jerry in that way.

I expect McCurley to go next. At least, he should go next.

Yep.

He won't be the HC here though.

Wade's players loved him, but they were all bitches.

I, too, want a hardass DC...because I want the defense to be the same damn way.

Wades defenses seem to fizzle after one or two good seasons

Good. Now get somebody in there with half a clue.

Sucks that we had to waste a year just so McCarthy could settle a personal debt.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

With the injuries it was going to be a wasted year regardless.

I just hope someone had the common sense to kick Nolan in the balls before they told him to get out.

 

[1bigfan13]

I knew Nolan was a goner once Jerry didn't launch into his normal spin mode. When I saw that he wasn't issuing a blanket waiver for COVID and injuries, I actually gained a little respect for Jerry. Just a little.

 

[1bigfan13]

Count me out on Patricia as well.

Belichick assistants are usually fool's gold once they're outside of his umbrella. Even as coordinators.

I'm just glad it's not the same old usual of holding on to a useless coach for the sake of continuity.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Wow, great news. Was fairly sure that would happen but it's good to see it actually done.

I've always thought Edwards was the frontrunner, but hopefully they at least interview a few more people.
