  1. I'm not sure. I think an ambitious young gun would be more likely to jump at a chance to coach the Cowboys than an experienced veteran coach that better knows what he would be up against. But it's really more up to different strokes different folks.
  2. That's probably the best strategy in almost every draft. The percentages of top 5 qb picks living up to expectations is not that great.
  3. He already had one foot in the grave and a size 16 shoe on a banana peel.
  4. I think the biggest problem with McCarthy was that almost his entire staff was old fucks that were somewhat detached from modern NFL trends.
  5. JJ and Prime just doing each other a solid. Deion fishing for a bigger contract at CU, Jerry getting massive doses of clickbait pub.
  6. He should have been offered an asst position coaching role after he retired, like other former players have. I think having the opportunity to coach his kids may have been a factor in that not happening, at least after that awkward brief career in announcing that never should have happened.
  7. Yeah, I'm trying not to panic yet. Hopefully available on streaming doesn't mean not available at all without streaming.
  8. I've been thinking this. Other teams kick the tires on fat Mike, look at tapes of some of his game management skills, and he's no longer a hot item, if he ever actually was. Or maybe Mike sees just how bad those other organizations are not looking like a better situation. Jerry may get his short term deal and kick the can down the road another year or two...or not. Both options scare me. Keeping the same status quo vs. making another dumpsterfire hire. I almost embrace mediocrity by now. Losing hope can do that.
  9. So, people think Jerry at this stage of his life is really going to hire one of the few dickheads in the known universe that has an even more of a bloated ego than his own? Someone who is going to demand all credit for any potential Cowboys success? I don't see it. But it gets people yapping and clicking on links.
  10. Best news is the old dog staff will be gone, other than Zimmer. Zim is old, but he actually wasn't a bad head coach at Minnesota. I'd take him with a slew of bright young gun offensive minds.
  11. I thought Vrabel could be decent, at least solid and not as embarrassing as the last few, but he gone. Jerry either has a guy or Mike just wasn't willing to take a short term deal.
  12. I hope it's a minority hire. It will likely be the same shit results, but at least they'd get a free draft pick out of the deal, even though that's a bunch of bullshit.
  13. Kingleberry is a dingleberry that couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag. He got lucky to be in the qb room when Johnny Football was making shit up on the fly.
  14. Hate to see it .They probably could have gotten at least some deal-sweetener trade bait out of him at some point.
  15. Throwing his kids under the bus to elude criticism seems like a typically Derp Turdstreak kinda thing that makes him such a despicable douchewaffle assclown. Fact.
  16. Didn't watch it. But we should have all learned by now that awards have jack shit to do with actual quality.
  17. My feeling, based on nothing but my feeling, is that Jerry probably prefers to keep McCarthy, but on a short term deal, say 2-years, maybe 3, that wouldn't be that painful to piss away if he decides to cut bait during or after next season. He has injuries and the transition to the new defense as excuses, and the team showing some backbone as lame ducks as support for their coach. McCarthy may not be willing to take a deal like that. All the rumored interest in his services by other bottom feeding teams with vacancies may be legit, or not. The teams that are showing interest are some of the biggest dumpsterfires, so he probably prefers to stay, which gives Jerry a little leverage in negotiation. There's no reason to give the Bears or anyone else permission to speak with McCarthy. It's only another week or so before he can do whatever TF he wants. Meanwhile, the Cowboys can kick the tires on other available coaches behind the scenes. If they bring him back, I would hope they bring in some better training wheels, like offensive coaching talent that bring more imagination to the offense, maybe some much better scouting in certain areas where they tend to suck ass. A potential younger head coach in waiting prospect would be nice, too. The staff is too damn old and out of date.
  18. I'm looking forward to the summer when the buzz is all about Mingo looking so great in camp and preseason, before eventually proving to be Mingo. But I'm still not writing him off. I haven't seen great instincts on his part, but maybe they can make a decent niche player out of him that has some kind of role that could potentially be worth a 4th, or maybe at least not quite as shitty a trade. But pissing away that 4 in this particular draft especially is such a beatdown.
  19. Darnold is a good QB. You have to remember he started with the two worst qb killer franchises, the shitass Jets and shitass Panthers, and somehow survived. It's a miracle he's still in the league, much less winning 13 games. Lots of potentially good qbs get ruined by horrible franchises. Darnold somehow made it through. The league isn't built to develop qbs due to the ridiculuous salaries, unfortunately. Give a guy credit for breaking the trend of failed high drafted qbs that get thrown under the bus.
  20. Dallas sits at 12 just after SF. If the Niners beat Arizona their strength of schedule draft tiebreaker should put the Cowboys at 11.
  21. I never actually root for the Cowboys to lose, but the eventual outcome was certainly in the best interest of the team. Dan Quinn can suck it anyway. His team played like little bitches. Mariota should starts.
