Because it's easier to get new coaches.

I agree these players should be made to pay as well but unless you're going to blow it all up so rebuild, and practically no organization would do that, then the closest thing is to bring a whole new staff.

I'm pissed at Micah Parsons today. All his fucking whining on his stupid podcast and him even calling out the effort of a player on another team on Saturday only to come out and do fuck all yesterday? Fuck him too.

And fuck that choking ass bitch, Dak Prescott. I already knew what he was after that collapse at the 49ers last year and said so. But this right here leaves no doubt that he will never ever be the guy that gets you where you want to go.

So yeah, I'm pissed at the players too, but it's just much easier to replace the staff then to jettison all the players and rebuild everything from the ground up.

Parsons is the one who runs his mouth and then comes up small. He needs to learn to STFU.

I think most of us agree on Belichick. For me it has nothing to do with scheme at all, it's because he has the gravitas to say to Jerry, "This guy doesn't have the mentality. This guy is too soft. This guy is too dumb." Etc.

But would Jerry listen, even to a guy as legendary as BB? I doubt it. Jerry always thinks his players are fine and they need to be protected, not to be held accountable or even run off.

This may be an unpopular take, but I want nothing to do with Belichick. If we move on let's go with a younger coach.

Hell, I don't even think it was the losing that bothered him so much as much as it was him desperately wanting that new stadium and knowing he had to give the fans something to motivate them to vote in favor of the stadium.

Exactly. I was surprised and happy that even Dipshit Broaddus said that last night on the postgame show. That move was all about the stadium.

If old age made Jerry do it the same way, great... I just don't see that. In Jerry's over optimistic mind, he probably has a good healthy 20 years left.

And Jerry ain’t getting younger. He has to be desperate.

All we can hope for at this point.

I don't think there's much chance of it happening anyway.

And even if it did, as much as I respect BB, I don't see it turning out well. Hard to say exactly why, maybe because this team is so different from the type of teams he likes and it would require more roster turnover than Jerry could stomach.

 

[Simpleton]

What if you can't get BB, though? He's really one of a kind. I guess Harbaugh would be the closest thing, but apparently he's in big demand by the west coast teams.

A Slowik type imo would get pushed around by Jerry.

I don't really give a shit at this point, Harbaugh, Vrabel, or a coordinator from a tough nosed team like Baltimore.

IMO the best we could realistically hope for is Vrabel. Love his tough mentality.

But as much as I would love that hire, do I really believe he could change Dak? Nope.

 

[Texas Ace]

I know it won't happen, but even before McCarthy, I think the first guy you need to decide on moving on from is Dak.

He absolutely is not going to get it done and even if by some miracle he could, it would require that EVERYTHING be perfect around him, and that's just not realistic.

Move the fuck on from him already.

100 percent. How many new OCs will this be? Four at least? Five? It'll be nine years in. He is what he is.

I think Mike McCarthy got the absolute best that you will ever get out of him, but at what point do you just stop looking for reasons and excuses and just accept that the guy is what he is?

He's like the NFL version of James Harden. It's stupid to think that the NEXT year will be different when the guy constantly shows you every playoffs that he's just not built for those moments.

He is who he is.

Dak aint going anywhere. Family potrait.

Totally agree. People assume that players, especially QBs, play well and that's who they are, that there's always more potential there. I think Dak was coached about as well as possible this year and he's already maxed out.

Problem is, Jerry will never believe that about Dak. His last name is practically Garrett.

 

[Texas Ace]

Sadly, I think you're right.

 

[Smitty]

Because it's easier to get new coaches.

That's the problem.

Just change the coach is always the answer.

The problem is the GM hampers the coach's ability to coach with a circus atmosphere of non-accountability so you are getting pennies on the dollar of any coach. It should be blatantly clear now that the last 4 coaches all maxed out at the same playoff level.

Also, the reason it's "easier" to replace the coach is because yeah, replacing the shitty QB is hard.

Unfortunately, the harder thing is the right thing. Changing out the easier stuff is cosmetic.

This team is never going anywhere with Dak.

He's not winning a Super Bowl. Ever.

He's probably not ever even making a Championship game.

You can blame "preparation," all you want.

Dak shit the bed. Himself. Personally. He missed open WRs starting on the first drive.

He threw two crucial interceptions including a pick six that no playoff caliber QB has business throwing.

That's not preparation. That's Dak Prescott has a problem performing in the playoffs.

Get this fucking bum off our team.

I agree these players should be made to pay as well but unless you're going to blow it all up so rebuild

That's exactly what we should do. After firing the GM.

and practically no organization would do that, then the closest thing is to bring a whole new staff.

Well, then you are getting more of the same.

No one wants to hear next year when we are 7-2 how this year is different.

 

[Smitty]

When you come out that flat, when you had the easiest path to an NFCC, with your QB playing the best football of his life, when the entire football world was watching you to see if THIS time would be different, and you lay an egg like that????

I dispute that the QB was playing the best football of his life, or at least that the "best football of his life," was at all consequential.

This team beat up on losers all year. Every time it faced a playoff team it struggled or choked.

We went 3-4 against playoff teams this year. The wins were against a Rams team that was rudderless, an Eagles team that was about to implode, and it barely escaped Detroit.

Dak didn't post some great season. He ran it up against lousy teams and folded like he always does against any semblance of decent competition.

He's a loser.

 

[Smitty]

How does a team just move on from that? They've got players who need extensions, salary cap issues, free agents, a coach and QB the players and fans have no faith in whatsoever. How does Jerry just decide that's okay and do nothing?

A smart team moves on from it by realizing the GM and QB are drastically underperforming and makes them pay.

This team moves on from it by scapegoating the coach, ignoring the personnel issues and culture issues, and fooling all the morons into believing again next year.

 

[Smitty]

Agree with much of what you said, but notice how your post is all about the coaches. Nothing about the players.

It's hard to explain exactly, but the culture around this team is that it's always on coaching. Never on the "superstar" players who make tons of money. I guess because they get so much attention here that they're always overrated and the assumption is it can't be their fault, they just need to be programmed better. But it removes responsibility from their plate. And that shouldn't happen.

I'm fine with firing Mike, but do people actually in their heart of hearts believe that would change Dak into a different player? I don't.

Nothing will change while Dak is here.

Frankly, nothing is gonna change while Jerry is here.

But if we table the GM discussion, the next most blameworthy individual is the QB, not the coach.

 

[Smitty]

This may be an unpopular take, but I want nothing to do with Belichick. If we move on let's go with a younger coach.

I wouldn't even fire McCarthy.

Dak is the one who should be fired.

Jordan Love was a #26 pick, I believe. Levis in Tenn was a second rounder. You don't necessarily need need a top-five pick to find a replacement QB.

I always catch a ton of shit for focusing solely on Jerry, but there it is. Jerry won't move on form Dak, ergo, the team is never going anywhere with Jerry as GM. Talk about draft picks, trades, FAs, coaches all you want, but the constant is Jerry. And he is the anvil dragging this team down.
