hilarious that DQ was the obv choice all along. he had the team's respect and was already there. instead, we let him go to our hated rival and now have to watch as his team has fun and remember that the game can actually be fun to play still, instead of being in this all biz 24/7 culture that Jerry has created.
but hey, a lot of us were laughed out of the room for that take

The DQ situation was tough because his defense was shredded by the youngest team in the league to close the 2023 season. Jerry is a salesmen at heart and that is an incredibly tough sell to the fan base.

If you bring in Prime, you're changing QBs to Shedeur…
Prime has said the only NFL job he'd listen to was the one who would let him coach his kid at QB…

I don't think DQ is any different than Mike McCarthy. He just had the benefit of Jayden Daniels and a healthy roster.

My guess it's moore's job to lose. But who will be his defense coordinator?
I'd think of it like this:
Props to MM for not wanting to put up with Jerry bs any longer.
Not sure who would want to. Yeah, Zimmer would; he's got nothing else. Not sure anybody but 82 will.
It's going to be Witten.

I think the fun of the game for DQ's teams is easy to see, including here. There's a lot of intangible value in getting 21-38 yr old guys having fun again and distracting them from the 24/7 "this is a business" culture that we've allowed to take hold here.gigem1223 said:

Hell, there isn't a single Detroit Lion "not having fun" right now in that locker room

They will hire one of Moore, Gruden, Zimmer, or Carroll. Witten will be a mandatory staff add at TE coach and and if it is Zimmer or Carroll then Witten will be AHC as well.Southlake said:

Yeah, Witten would be Jerry's Dan Campbell. He's malleable. Everyone in Dallas loves him.
Nobody will get upset at a poor first year.
Great PR. Great hire.
Jerry again will be the center of attention. The cowboys and Jason will be the lead story in the NFL.
Welcome Jason!

you know Jerry will milk this as long as he can, he loves the media attention. In a perfect world, Jerry would announce it the day before the Super Bowl.
Don't sleep on Aaron Glenn as a candidate…
I know he's the fav in NO, but I think he will be in play…

What about Joe Brady?
What about Slowick?
He has a whole season thread dedicated to him

Every candidate Cowlishaw lists in his article on the DMNs makes me want to gouge my eyes out except for maybe Sarkisian.
Kingsbury
Lane Kiffin
Jon Gruden
Brian Flores
Steve Sarkisian

Sometimes I'm shocked that Jerry isn't a sip. That's a page right out of their playbookAgristotle said:

Lane Kiffin would certainly be interesting....I'd rather he be in Dallas than Austin.Tksymm7 said:

Valid point. From that perspective Sark and Kiffin can do what they want with the Cowboys.

Either way though, McCarthy's teams played hard for him. He had the respect of that room and the issues here don't seem to relate to his style.
yes and no. They played hard 2nd half of season no doubt, but that first half of the season is still a question markTrucker 96 said:zgolfz85 said:I think the fun of the game for DQ's teams is easy to see, including here.

I'm just glad Mike is gone! I think he is a good coach, but it was clear after the GB game that it just wasn't going to work in Dallas anymore.
The fact that Jerry was possibly trying to bring him back again says it all... Jerry has no plan and no clue. Let's just hope he falls backwards into the perfect coach. It can happen.

I think the biggest issue with the first half was still figuring out what Zimmer was wanting. And 2 rookie starting OL who were greener than green
I honestly don't give two shts who the coach is if they win. Different than college football where whoever is representing your alma matter better as hell represent good ethics and integrity. Pro team support is a different animal. We all know pro teams have fans over varying dimensions, backgrounds, values, and issues all across the world. Coaches are throw aways as much as the players. Only thing that matters is to win and entertain.TyHolden said:Lane Kiffin would certainly be interesting....I'd rather he be in Dallas than Austin.Tksymm7 said:

as trucker said, I don't think the first half was them not playing hard. I think it was getting a new defense figured out and youth on the OL.zgolfz85 said:yes and no.

I don't care about personality as a fan, but Kiffin is so emotionally immature that it would take no time for him to step on his dick with a room full of professionals
yeah I know he had a short stint as the Raider HC but Kiffen strikes me as a college HC all the way.
Brian Flores
and Gruden. Can't imagine everyone in the locker room would be happy with him.
if it is gruden, I'm gonna have to start cutting myself
Jerry's 9th head coach.......

What's going to be the biggest splash and sell the most papers? That's what Jerry will do regardless if it is actually successful
Which makes me think he's going to hire Deion and bring in Shedeur to take over at QB.
(please know that I am an unserious person)

Winning is fun, the team clearly had a lot of fun winning 10+ games 3 seasons in a row
