Cowboys hire Mike McCarthy
- Thread starter MSUDC11
- Start date
If Giants hire Judge (Steve says unlikely but he's interviewing today) or at least don't hire Rhule, wonder if Napier comes back to the table?
I don’t have any major negative thoughts, but his entire head coaching career has been linked to Aaron Rodgers, and I just don’t know what credit you can really give or take from him based on that. He was just kinda always there... One thing I do know is that the Packers has enough talent to get to 3-4 Super Bowls during his tenure, so the fact that they only went to one is very concerning. He honestly does seem like Garett 2.0
All that said, it is beyond ridiculous to me that a storied NFL franchise like Dallas was only able to come up with Mike McCarthy and Marvin freaking Lewis as prime candidates. Those are plans F and G for even a mediocre NFL club, and it is pitiful that it came down to those two. It isn’t going to happen, but I really wish Dak would get the hell out of there. I’d be thrilled for a Jimmy G for Dak swap

All good NFL head coaches seem to be linked to a QB. Problem for McCarthy is I don't know if he can do it again, with Dak. Seemed to me like a Lincoln Riley, or even Danny Boy, would have been better options.
I thought they'd go after Mike Zimmer at Minnesota. Past history with cowboys and look what he's done at Minn. BTW, Minnesota owns the freakin' Saints!!
Both of those guys are great college coaches but you don't know how well they would do in the NFL. Riley has bombed in big games and so has Mullen. Both seem to out talent the other team the majority of the time. McCarthy has proven to be a successful NFL coach. Now whether that was due to Rodgers or not, I guess the Cowboys are about to find out.
Why would it not happen as far as Dak leaving? He’s got all the control. And he’s already proven in these contract negotiations that he isn’t married to the idea of just being a Cowboy for life unless the money side makes sense.
I personally think Riley would have been better than Danny because he has a legit offensive system, and Danny just kinda picked a system and rolled with it, but yeah I agree with what you're saying.
Hard to tell what really makes a good NFL head coach. I mean Belichek is a defensive guy.
As a long time fan.....meh hire, but wait and see what happens. Underwhelming considering what you have at your fingertips.
Aaron Rogers is a really talented dick head...so I don’t really consider it a black mark on McCarthy’s career to not be able to get along with a QB who no longer speaks to his family.

Actually, this is more like rolling back to the beta version of Jason Garrett
Yep. I can’t stand the Packers anyway but this really nails why I can’t stand Rodgers. I thought Brett was a great guy in spite of being a Packer but Rodgers is an egocentric prick.
That's always been my takeaway from the reports of the Rogers/McCarthy feud.
Rogers is a massive prick, and must be a nightmare to work with.

Probably, but they went 13-3 with the new coach. So, he can be a prick, but it doesn’t look like he was wrong.
Won Super Bowl XLV when Rodgers was MVP as a matter of fact. 125-77 record as a head coach (.618 winning). Won the NFC 5 out of 8 years in GB, the other 2 he finished 2nd and 3rd. That not good enough for you?
He was the HC at GB during the development of a HOF QB, won a SB and took his team to the playoffs 8 straight years.
Pretty good hire IMO. We'll see how it works out in Dallas.

I agree, I just don’t understand them interviewing only 2 candidates, McCarthy and Marvin Lewis. You own the highest valued franchise in the world, you haven’t won a SB since I was in Jr high and Dak was 1 year old.
This is possibly the last head coach you’ll ever hire Jerruh, and you interview only MM and ML. I don’t think MM is a bad hire, but at least hear from as many voices as you can. At least hear Urb, Riley, Ruhle as well as another half dozen coaches whose name has slipped my mind.

McCarthy has final say on all coordinators/coaches. They Cowboys hope he might find a place to keep Moore around, but per Jay Glazer on Cowherd it’s all MM’s call.
Well in MM’s defense, I believe they lost 3 playoff games prior to the both sides get a possession in OT barring a TD rule where Aaron Rodgers never touched the ball in OT.
Who Dak? He doesn't have a contract...
I'm calling it now. Brady to Dallas, Dak to New Orleans**
