  1. Two home grown Texas quarterbacks starting in the Superbowl for foreign teams nobody in Texas wants to win.
  2. fecals vs the cheats. Fuck football. Shit is all rigged AF.
  3. Maybe a touch of Amari Cooper syndrome as well.
  4. Because Bills gonna Bill.
  5. So, hiring Kellen Moore would have brought Barkley, AJ, their OL and DL and young stars with him? Dang! Why didn't I see it?
  6. Joe Brady told the Saints "no thanks." His agent probably told Jerry the same thing, so he punted.
  7. I don't think Sewerani is a particularly great coach, but he has a GM that knows how to build a team. It would be nice to have at least one of those things.
  8. The league is littered with hot-shot young assistants that failed as head coaches in a fairly short time. We won't know for a few years which from this crop of wunderkind geniuses Jerry should have hired. Then everybody will bitch about the guy he passed up, ignoring the majority that end up being JAG assistants again.
  9. I think the Witten thing was way overblown, just something like the Deion bullshit, a familiar name to get a buzz going. He might show up as an assistant to the assistant deal at some point, like some former Cowboys players have, and see how it goes from there. I think he still has a kid in school that he probably wants to coach. Either way, I think it's such a minor thing for people to just yap about.
  10. I really don't like the Shottenheimer hiring much, but I don't see any big reason for all the meltdowns here. Mike is no big loss. He was never going to outcoach a good coach in a big game with equal or better talent. He hit his absolute ceiling. Now at least the Cowboys will have a shakeup in the staff, and that was badly needed. It's a shame the old OC is now the HC, but at least he's not the OC. Perhaps the new OC hire will add some more dimensions to the offense. That's about as optimistic as I can get. I'm hoping for some good hires, not expecting a magical resurgence that leads the Cowboys to the Superbowl. But at least there is some change, and the Cowboys needed change. It may be shitty change for the worse, but something needed to happen. The other options were not overwhelming, either. It was pretty much "choose the form of your destructor" and we just go rid of the fucking Marshallow Man. Draft some badasses and let it all roll and see what happens.
  11. He won't be doing clock management. He'll be running the defense. He has some decent cred there.
  12. Eberflus has a better resume than Schott. He sucked as a head coach, but he won't be head coach. It's not a horrible hire. Keeping Zimmer probably would have been better.
  13. I don't feel good about this at all. But I don't feel any worse than I did when McCarthy was hired. Same shit, different era.
  14. And his name is Schottenheimer, yet after 25 years coaching in the league no other dipshit GM ever thought of him as head coaching material before.
  15. Well there is a pretty decent RB from Boise State, so they can get that pipeline going again.
  16. I'm good with that. There is already an opening for TE coach.
  17. I'm not happy about it, but I prefer him to midget genius boy Kellen. We'll just have to see if the offensive staff greatly improves, and hope Brian is a better play caller and game manager than McCarthy, which isn't a high bar. It is more or less the same shit as before. Maybe a better new OL coach, WR coach that can get something out of players not named Lamb, and an OC that can breath new life in a worn out scheme.
  18. I liked Gruden's qb interviews and breakdowns. As a head coach, just another aging system guy, like McCarthy, and a lot of others.
  19. Around that time we will have Keith Richards playing the half time show on Thanksgiving.
  20. But McCarthy knew how to fill a Superbowl winning staff in a different era, and had the benefit of top generational prime qb talent, which, arguably, some better coaches could have done even better with. His philosophy was badly out of date by the time he joined the Cowboys, and the same goes for all the old retread assistants he brough with him, despite their efforts to study new trends and renew their vigor. Zimmer would probably remain on the staff or be kept as a consultant. I could see Al Harris taking over as DC.
  21. Pretty much the worst possible scenario, unless it comes with a new hot shot offensive coordinator and some talented younger staff members. If Zimmer/Harris are back, that's probably a plus. Game management probably wouldn't be worse, maybe a step up, but an unknown.
  22. So, I guess it's only the Cowboys and Saints that need to fill a head coaching spot, if there are no snags with new coach contracts. Cowboys have less competition. Not necessarily a bad thing, though they will likely fuck it up. But it may improve their chances of getting a break.
  23. The anxiety about interviews doesn't really do help anybody. I'm just going to try to believe Jerry is searching all options, and maybe will get lucky. I hope it's not going to be some old school guy that can't scheme for today. The more jobs that fill before the Cowboys hire, probably the least likely it will be an old guy unless it's somebody from the previous staff. Either way, any head coach Jerry would hire would probably probably not be a downgrade. Just depends on the staff.
  24. Not too sorry that Pete is going to the AFC West. Maybe they can all beat each other up and eventually keep KC from seven-peating.
